REGULATORY GUIDE DIST MBUTION LIST (DIVISION 1)
Enclosed is a copy of Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.120, "Fire Protection Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants." This guide was initially issued for a 60-day period of comment in June 1976. The staff received more than 50 letters commenting on both the regulatory guide and Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, which is a part of the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-75/087) and which fonned the basis for the regulatory guide. All letters of ccnment received were evaluated by the staff and its fire protection consultants even though many letters arrived well af ter the 60-day ccmnent period had elapsed, some as late as December 27, 1976.
The guide was reviewed by the ACRS Fire Protection Working Group, and they met with the staff in an open meeting to discuss the guide on May 4,1977; at that time additional public ccanents were solicited. Nineteen additional letters of coment were received and evaluated by the staff. The majority of these ccmments duplicated comments previously received and considered in the development of the guide.
In view of the many changes made as a result of the first public ccmnent period, this guide is being issued for a further extended ccment period of one year. At the conclusion of the ccanent period the staff will consider j l the public ccments in conjunction with an in-depth evaluation of different approaches to plant fire protection for future plants. It is expected that this evaluation will be completed within two years of this issuance of the s guide.
Because of the extended comment period 'or this regulatory guide, Branch Technical Position ASB 9.5-1 will cor- aue to be used in the evaluation of fire protection provisions of operating nuclear power plants and of applica-tions currently under review for construction permits and operating licenses and the evaluation of future applications for operating licenses for plants now under construction. Branch Technical Position ASB 9.5-1 has been revised to reflect the necessary changes since its initial issuance end Revision 1 of the Branch Technical Position is concurrently being issued and is available to the public and applicants.
