Interim Staff Guidance; Probabilistic Risk Assessment Information To Support Design Certification and Combined License Applications; Solicitation of Public Comment

The NRC is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim Staff Guidance COL/DC-ISG-003. This interim staff guidance (ISG) supplements the guidance provided to the staff in Section 19.0, "Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Severe Accident Evaluation for New Reactors," of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants" (SRP), concerning the review of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) information and severe accident assessment submitted to support design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) applications. Upon receiving public comments, the NRC staff will evaluate and disposition the comments, as appropriate. Once the NRC staff completes the COL/DC-ISG, it will issue the same for NRC and industry use. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved COL/DC-ISG-003 into the next revision of the SRP and related guidance documents.
