Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued errata sheets for two guides 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.

Errata sheets have been issued for Regulatory Guide 1.184, “Decommissioning of Nuclear Power Reactors,” and Regulatory Guide 1.185, “Standard Format and Content for Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report.” These errata sheets update Reference 1 in both guides to Supplement 1, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities” (Volumes 1 and 2) to NUREG-0586 (November 2002), which supersedes the previous version of NUREG-0586, issued in August 1988.
