RuleNet Communication Program; Fire Protection Regulations

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is announcing the availability of a new pilot computer based program called ``RuleNet'' to maximize communication between the NRC and the public on rulemaking issues. The RuleNet pilot will be used initially to gather information on the safety issue of fire protection at nuclear power plants. RuleNet will allow participants in an NRC rulemaking proceeding to communicate both with the NRC and among themselves, with a view toward defining issues, eliminating misunderstanding, and finding areas of common ground. In addition to providing the NRC and the public with valuable information, RuleNet will test the usefulness of computer-based communications as a tool in the rulemaking process.
