NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Proposed New Appendix to Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800), 
Chapter 19, ``Use of Probablistic Risk Assessment in Plant-Specific, 
Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: General Guidance''

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will host a public 
workshop to discuss the proposed new appendix to Chapter 19 of the 
Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800), entitled ``Appendix D--Use of Risk 
Information in Review of Non-Risk Informed License Amendment 
Requests.'' The appendix is being developed to provide guidance to the 
NRC staff on the use of risk information in those rare instances where 
license amendment requests appear to meet regulatory requirements but 
raise significant risk concerns due to some special circumstances 
associated with the request. The workshop is open to the public.

DATES: The workshop will be held on May 16, 2000, from 9 am to 12 noon.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Room T-8A1, Two White 
Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.

Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

Opportunity for Public Comment on the appendix was issued in the 
Federal Register on April 10, 2000 (FR, Vol. 65, No. 69, 19030-19034). 
This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss topics related to 
the appendix. Anyone interested in providing a presentation on this 
topic should contact Egan Wang at (301) 415-1076.
