SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the NRCs Regulatory Guide series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information regarding methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agencys regulations, techniques that the NRC staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and data that the NRC staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
Revision 6 of RG 1.101 endorses and updates guidance that is available to licensees and applicants on methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the NRCs regulations for emergency response plans and preparedness at nuclear power reactors.
This RG applies to light water reactors, including those of an advanced design e.g., AP1000; small modular reactors and other new non-light water reactor technologies will have design-specific RGs to support development of their emergency plans. This revision endorses Revision 0 of the NEI white paper, Implementing a 24-Month Frequency for Emergency Preparedness Program Reviews, issued November 2019 and Appendix A, Recommended Drill and Exercise Objectives, to NEI 0604, Conducting a Hostile Action-Based Emergency Response Drill, Revision 3,
