The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is reopening the public comment period for the draft Regulatory Guide DG-1436, which deals with the acceptability of certain engineering codes for high temperature reactors. Originally solicited on December 13, 2024, the comment period ended on January 27, 2025, but has now been extended to February 26, 2025, to allow additional time for public input. The NRC encourages electronic submissions through their website, and emphasizes that personal information should not be included in comments if one wishes to keep it private. Suggestions for improving regulatory guides can also be submitted through their public website.
Simple Explanation
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission wants to hear more ideas from people about the rules for special high-temperature reactors. They had asked for ideas before but are giving more time until February 26, 2025, so more people can share what they think.
