NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


NRC Coordination Meeting with Standards Development Organizations

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The NRC will host a coordination meeting with key standards 
development organizations (SDOs) and other stakeholders. These meetings 
have been held approximately semi-annually as part of the NRC's 
commitment to utilize consensus standards to increase the involvement 
of licensees and others in the NRC's regulatory development process. 
This is consistent with the provisions of Public Law (P.L.) 104-113, 
the National Technology and Transfer Act of 1995, and Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-119, ``Federal Participation in 
the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and Conformity 
Assessment.'' The primary purpose of these meetings is to foster better 
communication between SDOs and NRC regarding standards development and 
their use. This notice provides the date and agenda for the next 
meeting.
    Date: February 20, 2002--The meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. and 
will last approximately four hours. Attendees should enter the Two 
White Flint North lobby by 12:45 p.m. to complete the required badging 
process.
    Location: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Headquarters, Two 
White Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, Room T-10-A1, Rockville, 
Maryland 20852-2738.
    Contact: Wallace E. Norris, USNRC, Telephone: (301) 415-6796; Fax:

    Attendance: This meeting is open to the general public. All 
individuals planning to attend, including SDO representatives, are 
requested to preregister with Mr. Norris by telephone or e-mail and 
provide their name, affiliation, phone number, and e-mail address.
    Program: The purpose of the meeting is to foster better 
communication between SDOs and NRC regarding standards development and 
use. By holding periodic coordination meetings, the SDOs will be able 
to describe their on-going and planned activities, and the NRC will be 
able to discuss activities and issues related to specific standards 
that are being developed or revised to meet its regulatory needs. The 
meeting will be coordinated by the NRC Standards Executive.
    Among the topics to be discussed are: Standards for the use of 
graphite in high temperature reactors; Updating existing high 
temperature design and construction standards; Inspection standards and 
inspection frequencies for high temperature reactors; Flaw acceptance 
criteria and weld repair treatment; Status of on-going SDO efforts.

    Dated in Rockville, Maryland this 29th day of January, 2002.
    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Michael E. Mayfield,
NRC Standards Executive.
