NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, Subcommittee Meeting on 
Thermal Hydraulic Phenomena; Notice of Meeting

    The ACRS Subcommittee on Thermal Hydraulic Phenomena will hold a 
meeting on September 18-19, 1996,

[[Page 44353]]

Room T-2B3, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.
    A portion of this meeting may be closed to discuss the proposed NRC 
thermal hydraulic research program budget. Discussion of the impact of 
possible budget reduction on continuing and proposed research 
contracts, if held in public session, might result in premature 
disclosure of information which would in turn frustrate the 
Commission's ability to effectively implement the affected programs.
    The agenda for the subject meeting shall be as follows:

Wednesday, September 18, 1996--8:30 a.m. until the conclusion of 
business
Thursday, September 19, 1996--8:30 a.m. until the conclusion of 
business

    The Subcommittee will: (1) Begin its review of the NRC-RES Program 
to revise/replace the current suite of NRC-RES thermal hydraulic codes 
and (2) discuss the status of the RES thermal hydraulic research 
program and associated budget. The purpose of this meeting is to gather 
information, analyze relevant issues and facts, and to formulate 
proposed positions and actions, as appropriate, for deliberation by the 
full Committee.
    Oral statements may be presented by members of the public with the 
concurrence of the Subcommittee Chairman; written statements will be 
accepted and made available to the Committee. Electronic recordings 
will be permitted only during those portions of the meeting that are 
open to the public, and questions may be asked only by members of the 
Subcommittee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral 
statements should notify the cognizant ACRS staff engineer named below 
five days prior to the meeting, if possible, so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made.
    During the initial portion of the meeting, the Subcommittee, along 
with any of its consultants who may be present, may exchange 
preliminary views regarding matters to be considered during the balance 
of the meeting.
    The Subcommittee will then hear presentations by and hold 
discussions with representatives of the NRC staff, its consultants, and 
other interested persons regarding this review.
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been cancelled or rescheduled, the scheduling of sessions 
which are open to the public, the Chairman's ruling on requests for the 
opportunity to present oral statements and the time allotted therefor 
can be obtained by contacting the cognizant ACRS staff engineer, Mr. 
Paul A. Boehnert (telephone 301/415-8065) between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 
p.m. (EDT). Persons planning to attend this meeting are urged to 
contact the above named individual one or two working days prior to the 
meeting to be advised of any potential changes to the agenda, etc., 
that may have occurred.

    Dated: August 21, 1996.
