NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

Call For Nominations For Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Call for nominations.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests 
nominations of qualified candidates to consider for appointment to its 
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Currently, there is 
one opening on the Committee and another vacancy is anticipated within 
the next several months.

ADDRESSES: Submit nominations to: Ms. Jude Himmelberg, Office of 
Personnel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Jude Himmelberg at 1-800-368-5642 or in the Washington, DC area, 
301-415-7119 (after July 8, 1994).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS was established by Congress to 
provide the Commission with independent expert advice on matters 
related to regulatory policy and the safety of existing and proposed 
nuclear power plants. The Committee work currently emphasizes safety 
issues associated with the operation of the more than 100 nuclear units 
in the United States and technical and policy issues related to 
evolutionary and passive standard plant designs.
    Traditionally, the membership of the ACRS has included individuals 
from national laboratories, academic and research institutions, 
industry, and consulting engineering firms having specific technical 
expertise along with a broad perspective in addressing systems 
concerns.
    The members of the ACRS are selected from a variety of engineering 
and scientific disciplines. Candidates are being sought with experience 
in such fields as nuclear power plant operations, nuclear engineering, 
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, 
metallurgical engineering, materials science, structural engineering, 
chemical engineering, process control systems, and related fields. The 
Commission has expressed particular interest in candidates with 
specific expertise in the areas of reactor accident analysis, digital 
instrumentation and control, or advanced computer applications. 
Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and experience, 
demonstrated skills in nuclear safety matters, and the ability to apply 
one's skills to problems outside of one's specific area of expertise. 
Additionally, the Commission considers the need for specific expertise 
in relationship to the tasks that lie ahead, availability of candidates 
to serve, and possible conflicts of interest. Consistent with the 
requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Commission 
seeks candidates with varying views on reactor safety issues.
    Because members actively involved in the regulated aspects of the 
nuclear industry might be of limited use to the Committee, the degree 
and nature of any such involvement will be considered. Each qualified 
nominee's financial interests must be reconciled with applicable 
federal and NRC rules and regulations prior to final appointment to the 
Committee. This may result in the candidate being required to divest 
himself or herself of securities issued by nuclear industry entities, 
discontinue research projects, and/or limit involvement in certain 
types of contracts, based on a determination of possible conflict of 
interest.
    Copies of a resume describing the educational and professional 
background of the nominee, including any special accomplishments, 
professional references, current address, and telephone number should 
be provided. All qualified nominees will receive full consideration. 
Appointment will be made without regard to such factors as race, color, 
religion, national origin, sex, age, or handicapping condition. 
Nominees must be citizens of the United States and be able to devote 
approximately 50-100 days per year to Committee business. We will be 
accepting applications until August 31, 1994.

    Dated: June 22, 1994.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
