SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will hold a 
fourth and final meeting of nuclear experts from the government, the 
nuclear industry, academia, and the public on February 21, 2001. As a 
result of the first two meetings, the nuclear experts issued a draft

direction of regulatory research. The draft report contains a number of 
recommendations. The third meeting focused on strategies for 
implementing recommendations and briefings by the NRC licensing offices 
and the regions. The purpose of this meeting is to review, discuss, and 
propose individual recommendations on the role and future direction of 
regulatory research for Commission consideration. The Expert Panel will 
also discuss their perspectives and responses to questions posed to the 
panel by NRC Chairman Richard A. Meserve. The meeting is open to the 
public and all interested parties may attend.
