Abstract
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is issuing a new regulatory guide, (RG) 1.221, "Design-Basis Hurricane and Hurricane Missiles for Nuclear Power Plants." This regulatory guide provides licensees and applicants with new guidance that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in selecting the design- basis hurricane and design-basis hurricane-generated missiles that a nuclear power plant should be designed to withstand to prevent undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
