Content of a NUREG-Series Publication

Before you decide to draft a NUREG-series publication, consider whetheryour information is appropriate to be published in the NUREG series. Doesthe information give-

* support for a regulatory decision;

* results of licensing studies preliminary to licensing actions;

* results of generic regulatory or technical analyses;

* managerial, programmatic, or administrative analyses of interest to thestaff, the industry, and the public;

* research about, or resolution of, a problem of interest to the nuclearindustry at large;

* action plans and guidance for meeting NRC requirements;

* a team report on a specific topic; or

* proceedings of a conference or workshop?

Legally binding regulatory requirements are stated only in laws; NRCregulations; licenses, including technical specifications; or orders. Althoughthe NRC staff may suggest a course of action in a NUREG-series publication,these suggestions are not legally binding and the regulated community mayuse other approaches to satisfy regulatory requirements. Only unclassifiedinformation is published in this series.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objectives of These Guidelines

This style guide is for the staff and -contractors who prepare manuscripts to bepublished in the NUREG series for theU.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC). The objectives of these guidelinesare to-

* improve readability;

* standardize format;

* ensure consistency,

* facilitate information retrieval;

* ensure accuracy of references;

* ensure public availability ofreferences; and

* ensure that the format is Web-compatible, as necessary.

The guide describes appropriate contentand the scope of information published bythe NRC in its NUREG-series publica-tions: technical reports, including thoseprepared for international agreements;conference proceedings; books; and avariety of brochures. Next, it providesessential background information forplanning a publication, such as consideringthe use of graphics and taking into accountpatent clearance, security reviews, and theneed for permission to use copyrightedmaterial. Then, it describes in detail thecommon components in agency technicalreports. Finally, it describes the formsnecessary for authorizing publication. Theappendix is a sample manuscript for aNUREG-series publication.

The NRC staff may access online guidancefor preparing manuscripts that will becoded with hypertext markup language(HTML) for posting to the NRC WorldWide Web (WWW) site at .

For additional information aboutabbreviations, see "NRC Collection ofAbbreviations" (NUREG-0544, Rev. 4).For NRC editorial style for (1) capitalletters, (2) hyphenation, (3) numbers, (4)equations, and (5) punctuation, see "NRCEditorial Style Guide" (NUREG-1379).

1.2 Publishing Policy

The policy governing these publications isfound in the following NRC ManagementDirectives:

* 3.7 Staff Publications in the NUREGSeries

NUREG-0650, Rev. 2 2

:2 TYPES OF PUBLICATIONS

The NRC prepares the following types ofpublications in its NUREG series:

* reports, including those prepared forinternational agreements;

* brochures;

* conference proceedings; and

* books.

2.1 Reports

NRC reports cover a variety of regulatoryand technical subjects of interest to thestaff and the nuclear industry. They includelicensing, research, investigative, andadministrative topics related to theagency's mission.

2.2 Brochures

Brochures include pamphlets, directories,handbooks, manuals, procedural guides,and periodicals, such as newsletters. Someare intended principally for NRC staff use.

2.3 Conference ProceedingsConference proceedings are compilationsof formal papers, presentations, andtranscripts from technical conferences,seminars, or workshops.

2.4 International AgreementReports

NRC international agreement reportsresult from international informationexchange agreements between the NRCand foreign governments andorganizations. In these agreements, foreignparticipants agree to submit unclassifiednuclear safety information to the NRC forpublication.

2.5 BooksThe NRC publishes books to serve aunique technical purpose or to meet anindustry-wide need. An NRC book isconsidered a permanent reference, atextbook, or a major critical review of atechnical or regulatory topic. Its contentsmust be broadly valid and applicable for atleast 5 years after publication. Each bookundergoes stringent peer review.

2.6 Report DesignatorsEach NRC publication is identified by aunique alphanumeric designator, forexample, NUREG-1555 orNUREG/CR-1666. The alpha designation"NUREG" identifies the publication as anNRC publication (Nuclear Regulatory); itis followed by a four-digit number, or it isfollowed by two letters further identifyingthe type of report and a four-digit numberto form the complete designator.

Publications that the staff prepare bear thefollowing designators:

NUREG-XXXX for a report orbook;

NUREG/BR-XXXX for a brochure;NUREG/CP-XXXX for a conference

proceedings;NUREG/IA-XXXX for a report

resulting from an internationalagreement.

Publications that contractors prepare forthe staff bear the NRC designator andusually bear the contractor's designatorunder it as follows:

NUREG/CR--XXXXORNL-XXXX

Request the publication designator as closeto the publication date as possible to avoid


cumulation of unused designators in ourpublications tracking system (see Block 1

on NRC Form 426 or 426A-Figures 5.3and 5.5 in this guide).


3 PLANNING YOUR DOCUMENT

Legally binding regulatory requirements are stated only in laws; NRC regulations;licenses, including technical specifications; or orders. Although the NRC staff may suggesta course of action in a NUREG-series publication, these suggestions are not legallybinding and the regulated community may use other approaches to satisfy regulatoryrequirements. Only unclassified information is published in this series.

Following guidance .ii this and subsequentsections, you will ultimately prepare acamera-ready copy of your.manuscript forpublication.

3.1 Electronic Submission ofManuscripts

As the age of technology demandsmultimedia publishing and electronicaccess to publications, we are planning forsubmission of manuscripts in bothelectronic and hardcopy media. The NRCprefers that manuscripts for NUREG-series publications be created inWordPerfect 6.1 or a later version. Ourcurrent agency standard is WordPerfect8.0. To the extent possible, all visualmaterial except photographs should beimportable into the WordPerfect file.These files may be submitted on compactdisk (CD ROM), in a variety of magneticmedia, and over the internet along withcamera-ready copy..

NRC is also beginning to publish itsdocuments on compact disks (CDs) andwill accept CDs for publication in additionto camera-ready copy. NRC is still requiredby law to publish hardcopy. .

3.2 Metrication,

The NRC Policy Stafement titled"Conversion to' the Metric System" (57 FR46202, 10/07/92) states, in part:'

...the NRC will publish...in dual units...'NUREG-series documents.... In

dual-unit documents, the first unitpresented will be in the InternationalSystem of Units with the English unitshown in brackets.

It goes on to except licensee-specificdocuments from the dual-unit system bystating:

Documents specific to a licensee, suchas inspection reports...will be in thesystem of units employed by thelicensee. This protocol reflects ageneral approach that only docu-ments applicable to all licensees, or toall licensees of a given type in which alicensee may operate in the metricsystemnwill contain dual units,otherwise English or metric units aloneare permissible.

3.3 Consistency'

If a document is written by multipleauthors, a lead author should review theentire document to ensure that it isconsistent throughout. The lead author isthe sole contact with the'editor or with'others involved in producing thedocument. The lead auhthor aidbthe editorshould create a one- or two-page documentstyle sheet (Figure 3.1) for contributingauthors before they begin to write. Thestyle sheet may include an outline of howto treat the recurrent features of a-

'!document, such as abbreviations, capitalletters, numbers, hyphens, and referencecitations. Consult NUREG-1379 andNUREG-0544, Rev. 4, for additionalinformation. The style sheet may contain

5s NUREG-0650, Rev. 2

Planning Your Document

the following kinds of guidance and isusually amended as work progresses:

* how to format and identify sections;

* the preferred way to identify licensees,contractors, and subcontractors;

* the preferred term or terms forequipment, measurements, personnel(i.e., job titles), and the like;

* when to use "shall," "must," "should,""may," or "may not";

* when to use the present and past verbtenses;

* how to identify and abbreviate'procedures referred to in the text; and

* how to cite references.

The sheet may also include any specialinstructions to text processing operatorsabout formatting, version control, coordi-nating drafts, and handling computer files.

Ensure also that report terminology in thedocument is consistent throughout. Forexample, do'not refer to the samephenomenon as a "percentage" in the textand as a "proportion" in a table or figure.

3.4 Page FormatSingle-space the manuscript, leavingone-inch margins on all sides. Publicationsother than reports may have uniqueformats (see Section 4). Use two-columnlayout except for a report composedprimarily (75 to 80 %) of mathematicalequations, formulae, tables, or visualmaterial. In these exceptions, prepare adouble-spaced camera-ready copy insingle-column format. Place the completeNUREG-series designator on the bottomright-hand 'corner of an odd-numberedpage and on the bottom left-hand'corner ofan even-numbered'page. Place the pagenumbers in'the center of each page (seethe pages in the appendix to this guide).

3.5 Visual MaterialTables, graphs, photographs, drawings,charts,' and maps-often collectively calledvisuals-can frequently express ideas'orconvey information that words alonecannot. Tables allow the easy comparisonof large numbers of statistics that would bedifficult to understand if they appeared insentence form. Graphs make trends andmathematical relationships immediatelyevident. And drawings, photographs,charts, and maps can indicate shapes andrelationships in space more concisely andefficiently than text alone. See SampleFigures 3.2 through 3.5 at the end of thissection for illustrations of properlyprepared visuals.

3.5.1 Selecting and Preparing VisualsWhen the NRC staff is preparing adocument that includes visual material,consult the Publishing Services Branch ate-mail address to have an editorwork with you and the Graphics Staff todetermine-

* whether the material meetspublication standards; '

* how to integrate the material in thetext;

I whether the'design of the material isconsistent with the design of thedocument; and

* whether the material is in the bestform to convey the intended message.

Edit the visual material against the text inthe document to ensure that the data andterminology in both are consistent. Preparetables using the table feature in wordprocessing software. Doing so is especiallyimportant for publications that will beposted to NRC's WWW site.

3.5.2 StyleUse a connsistent style for all the samecomponents-caption, head, and



legend-of visual material. For example,use an initial capital letter for each majorword of the caption or for all axis labels oran initial capital letter for the first word ofthe caption. Whatever your choice, adhereto it consistently throughout the samedocument. Avoid the use of abbreviationsexcept for measurements. Use the samefont for all figures in the document to theextent possible.

3.5.3 Color

Visual material must generally be in blackand white or shades of grey because colorprinting is significantly more 'expensive;When the NRC staff wants approval to usemore than'one color for visual material orany part of the publication, contact thePublishing Services Branch at e-mailaddress .'

3.6 Guidelines for Figures,

-Three options are available for preparingfigures: (1) ask the Graphics Staff toprepare the material; (2) use existingmaterial; or (3) use computer-preparedmaterial, printed on a laser printer with aresolution of no fewer than 600 dots persquare inch (DPI). Follow these guidelinesregardless of how figures are prepared:

* Place a number and caption for eachfigure under the figure.

* Number figures consecutively through-out a publication (e.g., Figure 1,Figure 2) or consecutively within eachsection or appendix of a publication(e.g., Figure 1.1, Figure 2.1 or FigureA.1, Figure A.2).

* Include a key (legend) that lists andexplains any symbols.

' Refer to the'figure and explain'its'significance in the text immediatelypreceding the figure.''

* Place the figure as close as possibleafter its first reference in the text.

* If a report includes five or morefigures, list each figure number, itscaption, and page number under"Figures" in the "Contents" section.Figures in an appendix may be listed inthe "Contents"- section for theappendix.

* Obtain the original or the mostreproducible copy of each figure forprinting. If a figure will not print well,eliminate it or redo it.

Avoid the use of color if at all possibleto reduce printing costs.

* Use high-contrast, glosssy, clear blacka and white photographs, and submit theoriginal photographs.

* Indicate the orientation for thephotograph and the relative size of thesignificant person or object in thephotograph by'placing a familiarobject, a person, a rule, or a scale, inthe photograph (see Figure 3.4).

Handle an original photograph withcare. Do not draw crop marks on theoriginal. Instead, make a copy of it,draw crop marks' on 'the copy, andsubmit it with the original for printing.Do not trim the original to size. Donot use paper clips without padding orwrite on an original figure, a photo-graph, or an -overlay because eitherpractice will leave an impression onthe original that may be visible in theprinted publication. Also,'do not foldor roll a photograph as these practiceswill crack the emulsion, and the crackwill be visible after the photograph isprmted. e. tp orh

* For maps, identify all boundariesclearly and eliminate unnecessaryboundaries. Include a scale of miles or

7 NUREG-0650,' Rev. 2


kilometers to inches to indicateproportions. Indicate which directionis north. Show the features you wish toemphasize by using shading, dots,crosshatching, or appropriate symbolswhen color reproduction cannot beused. Include a key or legendidentifying the different shadings,symbols, or colors.used (see Figure3.3).

3.7 Guidelines for Tables

Use the following guidelines, and seeFigure 3.6 for a sample table:

* Place a number and title for each tableabove the table.'

* If a table requires more than one page,repeat the table number and title,followed by "(continued)," on eachsubsequent page.

* If a report includes five or more tables,list each table number, its caption, andpage number under "Tables" in the"Contents." Tables in an appendix maybe listed in the "Contents" for theappendix.

* Number tables consecutively through-out a publication (e.g., Table 1, Table2) or consecutively within each sectionor appendix (e.g., Table 1.1, Table 2.1or Table A.1, Table A.2).

* Present data on only one subject ineach table.

* Explain the purpose of the table or thesignificance of its information in thetext preceding the table.

at the end of the section in which it iscited.

3.8 Copyright Clearance

Copyrighted material, either text or visual,cannot be reproduced in NRC publicationswithout written permission from thecopyright holder. Figure 3.7 is a sampleletter for requesting such permission.

In accordance with copyright law (17U.S.C. 101 et seq.), non-Governmentpublications created after January 1, 1978,receive copyright protection whether or notthey bear a copyright notice-copyrightnotices usually appear on the back of thework's title page. Therefore, materialdrawn from a non-Government publicationis most likely subject to copyrightprotection and should not be reproducedwithout first obtaining copyrightpermission from the copyright holder.Copyrighted visual material such as afigure or table also requires permission foruse from the copyright holder. To obtainpermission, send the copyright holder acopyright permission request letter (seeFigure 3.7) to sign and return before thedocument is printed. If the need forpermission is immediate, send the letter byfacsimile and request that the copyrightpermission release be returned byfacsimile. The signed letter cansubsequently be mailed.

If permission to reproduce the copyrightedmaterial is granted, cite the copyrightholder in a source line where theinformation is referenced. If the holderdoes not request a particular source line,use the following:

Permission to use this copyrightedmaterial is granted by (name ofcopyright holder).

In accordance with the Fair Use Provisionof copyright law, up to 200 words ofmaterial from a copyrighted work may

. . Place the table as close as possibleafter its first reference in the' text.

generally be used without the permissionof or payment to the copyright holder aslong as the use is reasonable and notharmful to'the rights of the copyrightholder'and as long as the source'is cited.

Contact the NRC's Office of the GeneralCounsel (OGC) for advice when (1) youcannot determine who holds the copyright,'(2) the copyright owner will not grantpermission for reproduction, or (3) youhave any, doubt about using material froma non-Government work.

In addition, publications that explain thecopyright law in detail are available fromthe Copyright Office, Library of Congress,Washington, DC 20540-0001. The Web

.address is . . i -

Although works published by the U.S.Government are in the public domain and a;.are not protected by copyright, an NRC-employee may obtain a private copyrightfor a work related to NRC functions that isnot prepared as part of the employee'sofficial duties. Consult the OGC for aruling on whether to seek a privatecopyright for a work related to NRCfunctions.

'3.9 Patent Clearance .If a publication involves a patent, consultthe Patent Counsel in the OGC about

obtaining patent clearance and have theOGC counsel sign and date NRC Form426, the publication release form (seeSection 5 of this publication).

3.10 Security Clearance

-Request that the Division of Facilities' andSecurity, Office'of Administration, reviewany document to be published in theNUREG series that contains or maycontain classified or sensitive unclassifiedinformation.

If a document contains classifiedinformation (Restricted Data, FormerlyRestricted Data, or National SecurityInformation) or sensitive unclassifiedinformation (Limited'Official Use, OfficialUse Only, Proprietary, or Safeguards) thatrequires markings, follow the procedures'for preparing and marking these docu-ments or for reproducing or disseminatingthem, if permitted, in accordance withManagement Directive (MD) 12.2, "NRCClassified Information Security Program,"or MD 12.6, "NRC Sensitive UnclassifiedInformation Security Program." Ensurethat an unclassified version of a classifieddocument receives a securityreview beforeit is published. Only unclassifiedinformation is published in the NUREGseries. !

STYLE SHEET FOR DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PILOT PROJECT REPORTS*

VERSION CONTROL SYSTEM: While writing separate sections before you compile thefirst complete draft report, label each section Draft 1, 2, and so forth, and date each one(using the date code feature) so that no confusion arises about which draft is the mostrecent. Place this information in a footer on each page. For the complete document, usethe same system applied to control of the separate sections. Using this system will eliminatethe teams reviewing the incorrect draft.

Follow the sample report and draft style guide for (1) formatting; (2) formulating the list ofabbreviations, symbols, and references; (3) referring to references within the text; and (4)preparing tables and figures.

Create a 5- to 10-page Executive Summary for the report.

Spell out each abbreviation at its first use in each section or appendix.

Request that authors define unusual terms as they write from which you can formulate aglossary if needed.

Treat each appendix as though it were a standalone document. An appendix may have atable of contents, list of references, and so forth. Often, a third-party appendix published inits entirety will include these elements. Appendices may also contain the team's charter,pc-generated data, or other information.

Use one term consistently for the same object, procedure, or phenomenon throughout,including in the visual material.

Use "licensee," "position title," or "staff" rather than an individual's name.

Write in the active voice whenever possible (e.g., "The licensee recorded events in the log."rather than "Events were recorded in the log by the licensee.")

Usually when information is included in a report, events have already transpired and thepast tense works in most constructions (e.g., "The licensee recorded...." rather than "Thelicensee records....")

Refer to each table or graph before it is inserted in the document and place it as close to itsfirst reference as possible. Use the table feature in WordPerfect so that the tables are Webcompatible.

The editor will often amend a style sheet as team work progresses.

4 GENERAL FORMAT AND CONTENT

In preparing most manuscripts forpublication in the NUREG series, adhereto the following format guidelines.However, certain staff- and 'contractor-prepared manuscripts, such 'assafety'evaluations or standard review plansor environmental impact statements, haveunique formats that are dictated bylicensing guidelines and NRC regulations.In addition, brochures, conference-proceedings, international agreementreports, and books may have uniqueformats that differ from the format for''most other publications. Consult thePublishing Services Branch at e-mailiaddress 'for information about theformat for these documents.-

Organize generic technical reports,including drafts, usinig only those elementsappropriate to each report. Number the'pages ~of the report consecutively'throughout, including appendices. Ensurethat each niew section, or chapter in the-case of a book, begins on an odd-numbered page. If a report includes apreprinted appendix from another source,number each appendix separately,beginning with A-1, A-2, B-i, B-2, asappropriate.-Follow the guidance in Table4.1 at the end of this section.

4.1 Front Matter;

The front matter of a printed version of aNUREG-serie's pubiication-may includethe cover, the availability notice, the titlepage, a list of previous publications in aseries, the abstract, the table of contents,the executive summary, the preface orforeword, any acknowledgments, and a listof abbreviations. Some of these,components are optional as shown in Table4.1. If the document is posted to the NRCWWW site, information from the title page

will appear online in the "PublicationInformation" section, and the cover willnot appear.

4.1.1 CoverThe Publishing Services Branch creates, orhas designed, the cover for mostpublications in the NUREG series.

Staff Report: Supply the PublishingServices Branch the following informationfor the cover: (1) full title; (2) subtitle, if

'any; (3) type of report (e.g., draft,-final,annual, team); (4) sponsoring office; and(5) report number-obtain from thePublishing Services Branch (see Block 1 inFigures 5.3 and 5.5).

Contractor Report: Supply the PublishingServices Branch the following informationfor the cover: (1) full title; (2) subtitle, ifany, (3) type (e.g., draft, final, annual,team); (4) contractor; (5) report number-

,.obtain from the Publishing Services Branch(see Block 1 in Figures 5.3 and 5.5); and(6) secondary contractor report number.

Omission of any of this information willdelay publication.

Title of Report: Select a succinct title-thatis specific to the topic and that suggests thereport's scope. Suchl a title' helps aprospective user decide whether the topicis of sufficient'interest or importance toread the abstract, executive summary, orthe entire report. If the report covers aspecific period,'such as a month, quarter,or year, include this fact in the title or in asubtitle.

Example:- Enforcement Actions: -Significant

Actions Resolved (Title),

-Quarterly Report for July-September1997 (Subtitle)

17 NUREG-0650, Rev. 2

General Format and Content

Do not include in the title-

* the name of an NRC office;

* the word "report" or "technicalreport," which is self-evident;

* abbreviations.

Good example:Response Capabilities of Local LawEnforcement Agencies

Poor example:Office of Nuclear Reactor RegulationTechnical Report on LLEA Response

4.1.2 Availability Notice

The Publishing Services Branch inserts theappropriate availability notice for eachpublication. An availability notice lists thepublicly available sources of informationcited in reference lists and bibliographiesin NRC publications. These sources mayinclude the WWW or Internet sources inaddition to traditional sources for papercopies.

4.1.3 Title Page

The Publishing Services Branch creates, .orhas designed, the title page for mostpublications in the NUREG series.

Staff Report In addition to theinformation supplied for the cover, supplythe (1) manuscript completion date,(2) desired publication date, and (3) thename of the division authorizingpublication of the report.

Contractor Report: In addition to theinformation supplied for the cover, supplythe (1) manuscript completion date;(2) NRC job code number (JCN), and (3)the complete mailing address for thecontractor and any subcontractor.

Omission of any of this information willdelay publication.

4.1.4 Previous Reports in Series

If the report being prepared is one in aseries, list all previous reports in the serieson a separate page or several pages, ifnecessary. Include the complete reportdesignator (volume, number, and revision,if applicable) and the issuance date foreach report in the series.

4.1.5 Abstract

The abstract is a concise summary of thereport. This summary should be sufficientin scope to enable readers to decidewhether to read the full work. Limit theabstract to a single paragraph of 200 orfewer words.

To prepare an abstract-

* Begin with a sentence that states thereport's main thesis; do not merelyrephrase the report's title.

* Summarize several major findings orpoints.

* To help you limit the length of theabstract-

- Use the active rather than thepassive voice wherever possible(e.g., "The licensee identifiedthree deficiencies," rather than"Three deficiencies wereidentified by the licensee."

- Use the passive voice only toemphasize the object or recipientof the action when either is moreimportant than the doer;

* Use the third person: "the staff" or"the author," rather than "we" or "I."

* Avoid the use of unfamiliar terms,abbreviations, or symbols. If any are

NUREG-0650, Rev. 2 18


included, define them the first timethey occur.

Avoid the use of equations andformulas unless the abstract cannot beunderstood without them.

Cite any computer code central to theItopic of the report. Describe a-research technique or data source only'to the degree necessary.

* Avoid mentioning tables, figures, orreferences unless the abstract cannot

be understood without them.

4.1.6 Contents

List the title of each section and subsectionand the page number on which it begins tothe third level of subordination (1., 1.1,1.1.1). List appendices, figures, and tablesas part of the Contents (Figure 4.1).Ensure that the page numbers and thesection titles in the contents match those inthe report. In the HTML version, link eachtitle to the appropriate section; pagenumbers are unnecessary.

4.1.6.1 Figures

If five or more figures appear in the bodyof the report, list the figure numbers;captions, and page numbers in sequence inthe Contents. Fewer than five figures maybe listed. Ensure that the figure numbersand captions match those in the report. Inan HTML version, link in sequence eachfigure and title to the appropriate figure;page numbers are unnecessary. ''

4.1.6.2 Tables

If five or more tables appear in the body ofthe report, list the table numbers, titles,and page numbers in the Contents. Fewer

'than five tables may be listed. Ensure thatthe table numbers and titles match those inthe report. In an HTML version, link each

table number to the appropriate table;page numbers are unnecessary.

4.1.7 Executive Summary

An executive summary is optional. Thissummary is more complete than anabstract. It (1) states the purpose of areport, (2) gives a brief account of theprocedures or methodology used,(3)' includes a concise overview of thedocument, and (4) gives major findings,conclusions, and recommendations. Thissummary is usually 5 to;10 pages,.depending on the scope and complexity ofthe report. Longer summaries tend todefeat the purpose of allowing a reader toglean the crux of the report from thesummary and determine whether to perusecertain sections or the entire report.

4.1.8 Preface-The preface is an optional introductorystatement, usually written by the author,*that announces the' purpose, background,and scope of the report. Sometimes thepreface specifies the audience for whomthe report is intended or highlights therelationship of the report to a given projector program. A preface may alsoacknowledge assistance received during theproject or while preparing the report: If thereport does not require a preface, placethis type of information, if it is essential, inthe introductory section. The author'sname may or may not appear at the end ofthe preface. -'

4.1.9 ForewordaI;'

A foreword is an optional introductorystatement written by someone other thanthe author. The writer of the foreword isusually an'authority in thelfield, whosename and affiliation and the date thestatement was written appear at the end ofthe foreword. The author of the forewordmay also be a senior official of the

19 NUREG-0650, Rev. 2


organization sponsoring or funding thepublication. The foreword providesbackground information about the study'ssignificance or its relationship to otherworks written in the field.

4.1.10 Acknowledgments

An acknowledgments section, which isoptional, gives credit to any persons orgroups who assisted in preparing andproducing the publication.

4.1.11 Abbreviations

The list of abbreviations in a documentincludes initialisms and acronyms and mayinclude units of measurement (Figure 4.2).This list usually appears as the last sectionof the front matter, unless it is followed bya list of symbols, or the list may appear asan appendix. An acronym is a pronounce-able term formed from the initial letters ofa compound expression (e.g., LOCA forloss-of-coolant accident). An initialism is anonpronounceable term formed from theinitial letters of a compound expression;the initial letters are pronounced asseparate letters (e.g., NRC for the NuclearRegulatory Commission).

4.1.12 Symbols

The list of symbols includes any printed orwritten sign used to represent anoperation, an element, or a quantity,quality, or relation, as in mathematics. Thislist appears as the last section of the frontmatter or as an appendix (Figure 4.3).

4.2 Body of the Report

Organize the text of the report so thatreaders understand the subject and thescope of information it will cover; thedetails and their relationships; and, finally,any findings, conclusions, andrecommendations.

4.2.1 First Section

In the first section, often called theIntroduction, indicate in a concise mannerthe subject and purpose of the report, thescope of information covered, and themethodology used in analyzing the subject.State why the report was written. Definethe limitations and boundary conditionsexplicitly so that the reader is able toascertain quickly what the report does anddoes not do. To illustrate, for an inspectionreport, specify the areas or systemsinspected.' Describe the contents of eachsubsequent section and each appendix inno more than one sentence for each.

4.2.2 Subsequent Sections

Include a title and an introductoryparagraph for each major section. Indicatein the introductory paragraph the materialcovered in that section and the relationshipof this material to the overall report.

4.23 Findings, Conclusions, andRecommendations

Findings provide the bases for conclusionsand recommendations. Nothing shouldappear as a conclusion or arecommendation unless the basis for it wasprovided elsewhere in the report.Conversely, significant findings in thereport are reflected in the conclusions and,where appropriate, are the bases forrecommendations.

Distinguish clearly between findings andconclusions, especially in inspection,investigatory, and research reports:

* Afinding is information obtainedduring the inspection, investigation, orresearch. For example, a piece ofequipment failed; its failure caused theloss of a system; plant operators'didnot respond quickly to the systemfailure; procedure manuals do not

NUREG-0650, Rev. 2 20

- General Format and Content

address this specific sequence ofevents.

A conclusion is a'judgment based onthe significance or implications of afinding. For example, plausibleconclusions that follow from theforegoing findings are that theequipment failed because of poormaintenance, that the maintenanceprogram has weaknesses, and thatoperators were not properly trained torespond to the sequence of events thatoccurred.

* A recommendation suggests a course ofaction on the basis of one conclusionor a set of conclusions. For example,the maintenance program should be

.improved, the procedures should berevised, and operators should betrained in the new procedures.

4.2.4 References

A list of references gives each source ofinformation used to prepare thepublication that is identified in the text(compare with Section 4.3.1). A number ofsystems for reference style are available.To name a few, acceptable style guides arepublished by the University of Chicago,Modem Language Association of America,American Institute of Physics, AmericanPsychological Association, and theAmerican Mathematical Society. Althougha variety'of styles is available, NRC hasadapted a style similar to that of theAmerican Psychological Association'sPublication Manual. Using the adaptedstyle, list the references in one of two waysas illustrated in Figures 4.4 and 4.5:

1. alphabetically by author and corporateauthor or

'2. numerically in'the sequence they arereferred to'in the text.

Select one way, and use it consistentlythroughout a single document or acollection of related documents.

4.2.4.1 Generic Information for ReferenceCitations

Each reference must include sufficientinformation for the reader to find it, asfollows:

* author: individual, agency,corporation, or association;

* title: italicize the title of a book; placethe title of a journal article or the'chapter of a book in quotation marks;place the title of a journal articlebefore the italicized name of a journal;and enclose in quotation marks thetitle of a technical report, such as aNUREG-series report, a regulatoryguide, an industry code, or an industrystandard;

* volume, if needed, or report number;

publisher and location; and

* date.

Basically, the elements of each referencecitation are arranged as follows:(1) author; three or fewer authors arelisted by last name and two initials, ifavailable; and, if the work has more thanthree authors, follow the first author withet al.; (2) titles, using initial capital lettersfor principal words; (3) location of thepublisher; (4) publisher; (5) in the case of ajournal article, volume and page numbers,or in the case of a report, its number; and(6) date. Items (3) and (4) are separated bya colon; all other items are separated byperiods.

Each reference listed in an NRC publica-tion must be publicly available. Do notinclude documents from the Institute ofNuclear Power Operations (INPO) as a

21 NUREG-0650, Rev. 2


reference or discuss INPO documents inthe publication without INPO's expresspermission.

4.2.4.2. Reference Citations for ElectronicInformation

A number of styles for citing'electronicinformation and verifying the information'ssource are available online and inhardcopy. One useful guide is Electronicstyles: A Handbook for citing electronicinformation (1996), by Information Today,Inc. .

For citing a document at a WWW site, usethe following format:

* author's name (if known)

* title of document in quotation marks

* title of complete work (if applicable),in italics

* date of publication or last revision (ifknown)

* uniform resource locator (URL), inangle brackets

* dite of access, in parentheses

Example:U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,"United States Nuclear RegulatoryCommission 1997 Information Digest."1997. (18 February1998).

For citing an E-mail Message, use thefollowing format:

* author's name (if known)

* author's e-mail address, in anglebrackets

* subject line from posting, in quotationmarks

* date of transmission

* type of communication (personale-mail; distribution list, includinglistserv; office communication)

* date of access, in parentheses

Example:Malliakos, Asimios. "NUREG/IA-0010-Reply" 7 January1998. [office communication]. (9January 1998).

4.2.4.3 Identifying References in Text4.2.4.3.1 Printed Documents

* If listing references numerically,identify them in text in one of thefollowing ways:

- Capitalize and spell out the wordreference if it is part of a sentence:

"As indicated in Reference 1, eachorganization develops its ownidentity, often unrecognized."

- For a single reference, place inparentheses at the end of thestatement the abbreviation for theword reference and the referencenumber:

"Organizations change theiridentity over time (Ref. 1)."

- For multiple references, place inparentheses at the end of thestatement the abbreviation for theword references and the referencenumbers:

"To identify your type of organiza-tion, consult the guidance in oneof the NRC-endorsed standards(Refs. 1, 3, and 6)."

NUREG-0650, Rev. 2 22


* If listing references by author, use thisformat:

"Members of an organization areusually not conscious of its identity(Diamond, 1987)."-

* If listing several references by oneauthor, identify them first by date, andthen by date and lowercase letter if thedate would not distinguish onereference from another:

"Is it helpful for executives to recog-nize their organization's identity(Diamond, 1987)"

"Most human resource organizationsagree that an executive should knowthe organization's identity (Diamond,1987, 1988a,1988b)."

* If listing references by organization,use this format:

"Performance of deep soil foundationsunder seismic loading is described inASCE Geotechnical Special'Publication 51."

4.2.4.3.2 Electronic Documents

Identify electronic sources in text much asyou would printed sources,- referring to theauthor or title of the source followed bythe year.

* To introduce a brief quotation or- paraphrase or summarize material, use

either a signal phrase set off by acomma or a signal verb with a "that..."clause. -;

*Examples:According to the U. S. NuclearRegulatoy Commission (NRC,1997),110 commercial nuclear power reactors

were licensed to operate in 32 States in1996.

NRC (1997) stated that it assesses;approximately 1700 reports of reactorevents a year.

Documents posted to the WWW are notpaginated; therefore, to reference aparticular section of an electronicdocument, substitute the name of a sectionof text for the page number you wouldgenerally include for a printed document.

Example:The Radioactive Waste Section (1997)states that NRC classifies low-levelwaste on the basis of its potentialhazards as Class A, B, or C, Class Acontaining the lowest concentrations ofradioactive material.

4.3 Back Matter

For NRC publications, back matter mayinclude a bibliography, a list of references,a glossary, one or more appendices, and asubject index.

43.1 BibliographyA bibliography is a list of publications andother materials (e.g., WWW source,unpublished theses) used by the author toprepare a report. It diffeis from areference list in that it lists all researchsources used to prepare the document,including those specifically identified in thetext and included ini the list of references.In other words, a bibliography is asupplement to a list of references (seeSection 4.2.4). As with entries in the list ofReferences, separate the location of thepubisher and the publisher with a colonand all other items by a period (Figure4.6). -. .

43.2 GlossaryA glossary defines terms that may beunfamiliar to the intended audience.

:; 23 NUREG-0650, Rev. 2


Arrange the terms alphabetically,beginning each new entry and its definitionon a new line (Figure 4.7).

4.3.3 Appendix

An appendix includes information that issupplemental to the publication, such as-

* explanatory or supportive informationnot essential to the text,

* long charts, tables, or computerprintouts,

* a chronology,

* a bibliography,

* a glossary,

* a list of references,

* a list of abbreviations, or

* a list of symbols.

Identify each appendix with a heading andtitle (e.g., Appendix A, "Burial Site PriceSchedules for the Current Year"). A singleappendix is not assigned a letter or numberwhile each appendix in a report havingmore than one appendix receives adesignator such as Appendix A, AppendixB or Appendix 1, Appendix 2, and so forth.Ensure that references in the text toAppendix A come before references toAppendix B, and so forth. Provide a tableof contents for a lengthy appendix. Treateach appendix as a stand-alone document,making it clear and complete. Prepare alist of abbreviations, symbols, orreferences, as appropriate.

43.4 Index

An index lists all pertinent topics discussedin the publication in alphabetical order andcites the page number where each topiccan be found within the text. The index isalways the last section of a report. Dividethe index entries into headings that specify

particular subjects discussed within the textand give their page references. A completeentry consists of the principal entry,subentries, and cross-references, if any.Place each entry on a separate line asindicated in the following example:

Principal entry:Monitoring programs, 27-49

Subentries:aquatic, 42ecological, 40-49meteorological, 37radiological, 30terrestrial, 41, 43-44thermal, 27

Cross-reference:See also Programs

Cross-references in the index are devicesinserted at appropriate places to guide thereader to the complete information in thetext. They consist of two general kinds:"See" references and "See also"references. Use "See" references-

* when the indexer has chosen amongseveral key words:

- Economic costs

- See Benefit-cost analysis

* when the subject has been treated as asubentry to a principal entry:

- Radiological impacts

- See Environmental effects ofstation operation, radiologicalimpacts

* when the reference represents apopular or shortened form of a term,not the official, scientific, or full form:

China syndrome

- See Reactor core meltdown

NUREG-0650, Rev. 2 24


Use "See also" references when additional 0information can be found in another'entry - ; ,or subentry:

Ecological programs, 40-49

- See also Monitoring programs

GLOSSARY

Activity: a measure of the strength of a radioactive source, measured in units of curies.

Attenuation: reduction of radiation intensity as it passes through any material, for example, leadshielding.

Background radiation: radiation emitted from naturally occurring radioactive materials in theearth or from cosmic rays.

Breeder A reactor that produces more nuclear fuel than it consumes. A fertile material, such asuranium-238, when bombarded by neutr6ns, is trainsfo'rmed into-a fissile'material, such asplutonium-239, which can be used as fuel..

Byproduct material: radioactive material obtained as a byproduct from nuclear reactors.

Critical mass: The smallest mass of fissionable material that will support a self-sustaining chainreaction.

Cytogenic evaluation: the study of blood cells to determine chromosomal aberrations induced byradiation exposure.

Decommission: The process of closing down a facility followed by reducing residual radioactivity to- a level that permits the release of the property for unrestricted use (see 10 CFR 20.1003).

Geiger-Mueller counter a gas-filled radiation-detection device that is highly sensitive.

Gray: the International System unit of absorbed dose. One gray is equal to an absorbed dose ofone Joule per kilogram (100 rads) (Gy).

Hot Cell: a shielded box or enclosure for sorting, processing, manufacturing or testing radioactivematerials that must be handled remotely..

Isotope: One of two or more atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers ofneutrons in their nuclei. Thus, carbon-12,'carbon-13, and carbon-14 are isotopes of the elementcarbon, the numbers denoting the approximate atomic weights. Isotopes have very nearly the samechemical properties but often different physical'propterties (for example, carbon-12 and -13 arestable; carbon-14 is radioactive).

Labelling: a procedure in which one or'more radioactive atoms are attached to a molecule orcompound in order-to follow the compound or its fraggments through physical, chemical, orbiological processes by observing the radioactivity.

Liquid scintillation counting: the detection of light emissions resulting from the decay ofradioactive material immersed in a special chemical mixture.

7Time and motion study: an evaluation of the proximity and duration that an individual was near asource of radiation for the purposes of estimating radiation exposure.
