NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

Nuclear Safety Research Review Committee; Meeting

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Nuclear Safety Research Review Committee (NSRRC) will hold its 
next meeting on May 19-20, 1994. The location of the meeting will be 
the Montgomery Room at the Holiday Inn, 8120 Wisconsin Avenue, 
Bethesda, MD., except for May 20 afternoon, when the meeting location 
will be the One White Flint North (OWFN) Building, 11555 Rockville 
Pike, Rockville, MD in the rooms noted in the schedule, below.
    The meeting will be held in accordance with the requirements of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and will be open to public 
attendance. The NSRCC provides advice to the Director of the Office of 
Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) on matters of overall management 
importance in the direction of the NRC's program of nuclear safety 
research. The main purposes of this meeting are (a) to complete 
deliberations started at the Committee's January 13-14, 1994 meeting 
concerning Committee response to questions regarding which the 
Commission requested NSRCC advice, documented in a Staff Requirements 
Memorandum (SRM) from the Secretary of the Commission to the Executive 
Director of Operations, dated July 21, 1993, resulting from the 
Committee's July 8, 1993 meeting with the Commission, and (b) to brief 
the Commission on that response.
    The questions in the SRM relate to broad issues of management of 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's research function. They address 
research program issues and Committee skill needs (SRM Item 1), code 
maintenance (Item 2), whether there are any continuing programs that 
lack significant usefulness (``sacred cows'') (Item 3), and retention 
of skills in technical disciplines (Item 4).
