The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a revision of a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques used by the staff in its review of applications for permits and licenses, and data needed by the NRC staff in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.32, “Criteria for Power Systems for Nuclear Power Plants,” provides guidance to licensees and applicants of nuclear power, research, and test reactors concerning methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations for the design, operation, and testing of electric power systems in nuclear power plants.
