{{#Wiki_filter:UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONOFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATIONWASHINGTON, D.C.  20555-0001March 10, 2005NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2004-13, SUPPLEMENT 1,CONSIDERATION OF SHELTERING IN LICENSEE'S RANGE OFPROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS, DATED AUGUST 2004ADDRESSEESAll holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors, except those who havepermanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed
from the reactor vessel.INTENTThe Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) tosupplement previously issued information in RIS 2004-13, "Consideration of Sheltering in
Licensee's Range of Protective Action Recommendations," dated August 2, 2004.  The
NRC is confirming its position that licensees develop a range of protective actions that includes the
consideration of sheltering, and
will begin evaluating the use of enforcement action forlicensees in noncompliance.  This RIS requires no action or written response by an addressee.BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The NRC issued RIS 2004-13 in August 2004 to clarify the regulatory requirement thatlicensees develop a range of protective actions that includes the consideration of sheltering for
the public in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ).  The regulations
governing protective action recommendations (PARs) are contained in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10).
RIS 2004-13 describes in detail the requirements regarding the consideration of sheltering as a
PAR.  The details of RIS 2004-13 remain applicable.SUMMARY OF ISSUEIn RIS 2004-13, the NRC clarified its position that licensees shall develop a range of protectiveactions that includes the consideration of sheltering.  In addition to the technical discussion in
RIS 2004-13, the events of September 11, 2001 have caused the NRC to increase the focus onthe range of protective actions appropriate in today's threat environment.  The NRC hasdecided to use discretion and not take enforcement action for this issue for a period extending
90 days following the issuance of this supplement.  This action is intended to give licensees
sufficient time to evaluate this issue and update their emergency plans as necessary.ML050340531
RIS 2004-13, Sup 1Page 2 of 2BACKFIT DISCUSSION
This RIS supplement confirms the regulatory requirement in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) that licenseesdevelop a range of protective actions that includes the consideration of sheltering for the publicin the plume exposure pathway EPZ.  This RIS supplement does not impose new or modified
staff requirements or uniquely prescribe a way to comply with regulations or require any action
or written response.  Therefore, the RIS supplement does not constitute a backfit under 10 CFR
50.109, and the staff did not perform a backfit analysis.FEDERAL REGISTER NOTIFICATIONA notice of opportunity for public comment on this RIS was not published in the FederalRegister because it is informational and pertains to a staff position that does not represent adeparture from current regulatory practice.SMALL BUSINESS REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT FAIRNESS ACT OF 1996
The NRC has determined that this action is not subject to the Small Business RegulatoryEnforcement Fairness Act of 1996.PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTIFICATION
This RIS does not contain any information collections and, therefore, is not subject to therequirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).  Existing
requirements are covered under 10 CFR Part 50 (3150-0011).CONTACT
