NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Seeks Qualified Candidates for Advisory Committee on Reactor 
Safeguards

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Request for resumes.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is looking for 
qualified candidates for possible appointment to its Advisory Committee 
on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). There are three openings expected on the 
Committee in 1996. One or two openings may be filled by reappointment 
of incumbents.

ADDRESSES: Submit resumes to: Ms. Jude Himmleberg, Office of Personnel, 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

FOR APPLICATION MATERIALS, CALL: 1-800-952-9678. Please refer to 
Announcement Number 95-1000.

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 more than 100 

[[Page 46629]]
nuclear units in the United States and technical and policy issues 
related to evolutionary and passive standard plant designs.
    The ACRS membership includes individuals from national 
laboratories, academic and research institutions, industry, and 
consulting engineering firms who possess specific technical expertise 
along with a broad perspective in addressing safety concerns.
    The members of the ACRS are selected from a variety of engineering 
and scientific disciplines such as nuclear power plant operations, 
nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, 
chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, structural 
engineering, materials science, and instrumentation and process control 
systems. At this time, candidates are being sought with specific 
expertise in the areas of nuclear power plant operations and 
instrumentation and process control systems.
    Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and 
experience, demonstrated skills in nuclear safety matters, and the 
ability to apply one's skills to solve problems. Additionally, the 
Commission considers the need for specific expertise in relationship to 
current and future tasks, 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 so that the membership on the Committee will be fairly 
balanced terms of the point of views represented and the functions to 
be performed by the Committee.
    Because conflict of interest regulations restrict the participation 
of members actively involved in the regulated aspects of the nuclear 
industry, the degree and nature of any such involvement will be 
considered. Each qualified candidate'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, or discontinue or limit involvement in NRC 
or industry-funded research contracts or grants, based on a 
determination of possible conflict of interest.
    Copies of resume describing the educational and professional 
background of the candidate, including any special accomplishments, 
professional references, current address, and telephone number should 
be provided. All qualified candidates will receive full consideration. 
Appointment will be made without regard to such factors as race, color, 
religion, national origin, sex, age, or disabilities. Candidates must 
be citizens of the United States and be able to devote approximately 
50-100 days per year to Committee business. Applications will be 
accepted until November 24, 1995.

    Dated: August 31, 1995.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
