This collection of abbreviations in common use in the nuclear industry and regulatory community was
compiled from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and nuclear industry sources. It was published to
assist agency authors, readers, and stakeholders in identifying abbreviations for the numerous organiza-
tional, scientific, and engineering terms that appear in NRC printed and electronic information. The
compilation is descriptive rather than prescriptive. No one abbreviation is recommended to the exclusion
of another because the same abbreviation may with equal validity apply to two or more terms.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) publishes this collection of abbreviations to assist
agency authors and readers and members of the public in identifying the abbreviations for the numerous
organizational; scientific, and engineering terms that appear in NRC printed and electronic information.
This collection has been compiled from NRC and nuclear industry sources and is descriptive rather than
prescriptive. No one abbreviation is recommended to the exclusion of another because the same
abbreviation may with equal validity apply to two or more terms.
An abbreviation is a shortened, condensed form of a word or term. Some technical abbreviations, such
as laser and scuba, have been so widely disseminated that they now communicate successfully without
further definition. ,
Acronyms and initialisms are types of abbreviations.,
* An acronym is an abbreviation that forms a pronounceable term from the initial letters of a group
of words: ANSI is formed from American National Standards Institute and LOCA from
loss-of-coolant accident.
* An initialism is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a group of words for which each
letter is pronounced separately: EPZ is formed from emergency planning zone and SGTS from
standby gas treatment system.
The NRC editorial staff offers the following suggestions for using abbreviations:
* Spell out the term for an abbreviation the first time you use it in text and follow the spelled-out
term with the abbreviation in parentheses: control rod drive (CRD). Repeat this process at the
beginning of each new section or chapter for printed publications.
* Restrict an abbreviation to one meaning in any one document. If you designate NDT to mean
nondestructive testing, do not designate NDT to mean nil ductility temperature or any other term
beginning with the letters NDT in the same document. Spell out any other term that could be
abbreviated as NDT in that document.
This compilation includes major NRC program and staff offices, advisory groups, panels, and boards but
not NRC divisions, branches, and sections, which can be found in the NRC Telephone Directory
(NUREG/BR-0046). Some abbreviations for organizations that no longer exist are included as historical
references.
This compilation does not include chemical elements, computer codes, and most units of measurement.
Many of these abbreviations appear in readily accessible sources such as dictionaries, the Government
Printing Office (GPO) Style Manual, and other manuals.
Identical abbreviations appear in various forms (e.g., AA or A/A); they are listed in this compilation in
the following order: AA, aa, A/A, A-A, A&A.
In general, the editorial staff observes the following rules for forming plurals and for capitalizing and
hyphenating abbreviations: - ( . .. .
VI
*SD S
1:'
* Plurals
To form most plurals, add a lowercase s without an apostrophe preceding it to the abbreviation.
DBAs for design-basis accidents
PWRs for pressurized-water reactors
However, some abbreviations are identical in both singular and plural constructions.
ATWS for anticipated transient or transients without scram
GDC for general design criterion or criteria
LCO for limiting condition or conditions for operation
MOU for memorandum or memoranda of understanding
Use the same abbreviation for a'plural construction 'when a word in a term is an irregular plural
(e.g., LRB for licensing review basis or bases) or when any word in a term except the last word is
a regular plural, that is, formed by adding s (e.g., COLSS for core operating limit or limits support
- system). Only the irregular plurals, such as bases, are given in this collection; plurals formed by
adding s to an internal or final word of a term are generally not given.
* Capitalization
Although most abbreviated terms are lowercase when written out, most of their abbreviations are
uppercase.
Do not capitalize specific parts of a nuclear system or facility, the many job titles at a nuclear
facility, or generic terms designating equipment, systems, or programs.
ACCWS for auxiliary component cooling water system
RPM for radiation protection manager
However, capitalize the names of specific facilities or reactors, companies or organizations,
and committees or special interest groups.
ACNW for Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste
RRA for Radiation Research Associates, Inc.
RRR for Raleigh Research Reactor
* Hyphenation
To hyphenate a term from which an abbreviation is formed, follow the general rules of
hyphenation, particularly those given in the GPO Style Manual.
Hyphenate unit modifiers used as adjectives and adverbs before a noun in each term:
LOCA for loss-of-coolant accident, but not LOOP for loss of offsite power
vi
I
Do not hyphenate most short prefixes, such as co, de, pre, pro, and re.
DWCS for defueling water cleanup system
PTP for preoperational test program

1. ABSTRACT (200 words or les)
This collection of abbreviations in common use in the nuclear industry and regulatory community was compiled
from Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and nuclear industry sources. It was published to assist agency
authors, readers, and stakeholders in identifying abbreviations for the numerous organizational, scientific, and
engineering terms that appear in NRC printed and electronic information. The compilation is descriptive rather
than prescriptive. No one abbreviation is recommended to the exclusion of another because the same abbreviation
may with equal validity apply to two or more terms.
