The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 3.65, which previously provided guidance on the decommissioning of nuclear facilities to support license termination. This guide is being withdrawn because the NRC now relies on a more current document called NUREG-1757 to provide guidance for these processes. The withdrawal does not change any existing NRC licenses or their approval and does not prevent current licensees from continuing to use RG 3.65. However, for future applications, applicants and licensees are encouraged to refer primarily to NUREG-1757.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public feedback on a draft regulatory guide (DG-1304) aimed at providing guidelines for safety-related steel structures and steel-plate composite walls that are not part of reactor vessels or containments. This guide aligns with the 2018 ANSI/AISC N690 standard for nuclear facilities but includes specific exceptions and clarifications. The NRC encourages comments to be submitted by March 29, 2021, although they may consider late submissions if possible. Comments should be submitted through the Federal Rulemaking website or via mail.
