Response to Public Comments on Draft Regulatory Guide (DG)-1423 Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors Proposed Revision 7 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.101 On March 10, 2025, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 11591) that Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1423, Proposed Revision 7 of RG 1.101, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors, was available for public comment. The public comment period ended on April 9, 2025. The NRC received three comments from the parties listed below, and their comments can be found in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The NRC has combined the comments and NRC staff responses in the following table:
Comment #1 Anonymous Document: NRC-2025-0032-0002, Comment 1 on FR Doc # 2025-03761 ADAMS Accession No. ML25098A061 Comment #2 Erin Eckman Columbus OH 43201 Erinceckman@gmail.com Phone: (216) 789-8488 Document: NRC-2025-0032-0003, Comment 2 on FR Doc # 2025-03761 ADAMS Accession No. ML25098A062 Comment #3 Anonymous Document: NRC-2025-0032-0004, Comment 3 on FR Doc # 2025-03761 ADAMS Accession No. ML25101A024 Commenter Section Specific Comment and Proposed Resolution NRC Resolution Comment #1 General The Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors is a document you should know, it is used to provide guidance for nuclear power plants to ensure safe and effective emergency response in case of an incident.
This plan helps others to know what to do in a situation when they are affected by this cause, it shows how the government will react, such as operators, important people in the community who work for government agencies. Overall, Im in full support when it comes to planning evacuations to prevent loss and misguidance during tough times and when people dont know what to do in case of said nuclear power plants were to harm the people of our nation. These guidelines are used to help nuclear warehouses manage safety regulations that are enforced by the NRC ( Nuclear Regulatory Commission). The NRC helps reduce the risk of innocent lives, The comment was general in nature and did not have any specific suggestion. Therefore, no NRC staff response is necessary.
Commenter Section Specific Comment and Proposed Resolution NRC Resolution and helps people how to respond. In full support, I believe that these regulations are needed in order to help plan emergency zones for the people, as well as radiation protection so people arent at risk of getting illnesses that are contracted by the radiation. What i also think is important is the communication the people and the government should have to be well informed of when things happen and how they happened. In modern time, we now have more resources such as faster and more efficient technology that helps in many scenarios, such as receiving help and getting hold of people to ask question,
get alerts of when things are happening. In conclusion, having strict protocols and enforcing them will be for the better to avoid confusion and loss of lives, its important to be well informed, and to know how to react if and when a nuclear power plant erupts. This will help reduce the impact of any emergency overall in my perspective.
Comment #2 General This is a class assignment where I am learning how to use the regulations.gov website. I chose this NPRM because I am passionate about the development and sustainment of nuclear power as a source of renewable energy. Nuclear disasters have distorted the public's perception of the safety of these plants.
More widely used energy sources like coal and oil are much more dangerous and have caused much more fatalities, yet are more widely accepted. I believe these proposed rules will help give flexibility to the emergency response of nuclear plants, potentially making them even safer. I think this is a step in the right direction towards making the US's energy cleaner and more sustainable.
The comment was general in nature and did not have any specific suggestion. Therefore, no NRC staff response is necessary.
Comment #3 General The proposed modifications to this existing contract will be the right solution for the agency to make. It is the right thing to do to make the notification process work better than the previous version.
