Title: Format and content of the NRC Regulatory documents
Abstract: This paper describes the methodology that is currently utilized by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to review nuclear criticality safety (NCS) for special nuclear material licensees. Included in this paper is a discussion of the various supporting documents that NRC staff use to perform overall NCS license reviews. The basis for regulating NCS at the NRC is founded in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 70 (10 CFR 71), which addresses the regulation of special nuclear material. To provide guidance to the staff and licensees on implementing the pertinent elements of an acceptable NCS program, the NRC utilizes both regulatory guides and a draft standard review plan (SRP). Specific elements of both the regulation and methodology by which the staff reviews NCS are discussed in this paper.
