Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Revision 6 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.29, "Seismic Design Classification for Nuclear Power Plants." This RG describes a method that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in identifying and classifying those features of light-water-reactor nuclear power plants that must be designed to withstand the effects of the safe- shutdown earthquake. Revision 6 corrects a minor error in the numbering of the elements in Section C, "Staff Regulatory Guidance."
