NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Experts' Meeting on High-Burnup Fuel Behavior Under Postulated 
Accident Conditions

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a meeting to 
further develop a Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (PIRT) for 
fuel rod response to loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs). PIRTs have been 
used at NRC since 1988, and they provide a structured way to obtain a 
technical understanding that is needed to address certain issues. About 
twenty of the world's best technical experts are participating in this 
activity, and the experts represent a balance between industry, 
universities, foreign researchers, and regulatory organizations. The 
current PIRT activity is addressing postulated LOCAs in a BWR and a 
PWR.

DATES: May 31-June 2, 2000, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: Room T10A1 (TWFN) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The meeting agenda will be posted on the NRC 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/RES/meetings.htm by May 25, 2000. The 
meeting is open to the public. Attendees will need to obtain a visitor 
badge at the TWFN building lobby.
