NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Regulatory Information Conference

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The objectives of the conference are to give the licensees and 
the public insights into our approach to safety regulations and to 
provide a forum for feedback from those in attendance on their concerns 
about our overall approach, as well as feedback on differences that may 
exist on technical issues. NRC staff will provide information regarding 
on-going programs and potential new initiatives as a basis for 
discussion.
    Discussions will proceed from general (i.e., the plenary sessions) 
to specific issues (i.e., the breakout sessions), with emphasis on 
plant operations and the NRC view of these operations based on 
experience in carrying out its regulatory mission. Three plenary 
sessions are planned, two of which will be followed by breakout 
sessions that will include presentations by the NRC staff and industry 
representatives.
