Generic letters address generic safety, safeguards, or the environmental issues by requesting that addressees perform analyses, propose corrective actions, submit technical information that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) needs to perform its mission, or submit proposed changes to technical specifications or license commitments. Generic letters may also state new technical or policy-related staff positions or solicit voluntary participation in technical pilot programs. The following table lists (in chronological order) the generic letters that the NRC has issued regarding topics related to fire protection for licensed facilities and materials. The complete collection of NRC generic letters is available through the agency's Electronic Reading Room.
