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 
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 for a BWR and a PWR.

DATES: July 25-27, 2000, 8:30 am-5:30 pm.

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 www.nrc.gov/RES/meetings.htm by July 17, 2000. The meeting 
is open to the public. Attendees will need to obtain a visitor badge at 
the TWFN building lobby.
