Regulatory Issue Summaries Related to Fire Protection
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) disseminates regulatory issue summaries to serve the following purposes when no response or action is requested:
- Document NRC endorsement of the resolution of issues through industry-sponsored initiatives.
- Solicit voluntary licensee participation in staff-sponsored pilot programs.
- Inform licensees of opportunities for regulatory relief.
- Announce staff technical policy positions that were either not previously communicated to the industry or not broadly understood.
- Address matters previously reserved for administrative letters.
The following table lists (in chronological order) the regulatory guides that the NRC has issued regarding topics related to fire protection for licensed facilities and materials. The complete collection of regulatory issue summaries is available through the NRC Library.
