Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation for Earthquakes

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG)-1332, "Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation for Earthquakes." This DG is proposed Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.12, "Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation for Earthquakes." The NRC proposes to revise the guide to incorporate advances in seismic instrumentation and operating experience since Revision 2 of RG 1.12 was issued in 1997. The proposed revision describes the seismic instrumentation criteria, including instrumentation type, locations, characteristics, and maintenance, that the NRC staff considers acceptable for nuclear power plants.
