NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards Meeting of the ACRS 
Subcommittee on Plant Operations; Notice of Meeting

    The ACRS Subcommittee on Plant Operations will hold a meeting on 
September 9, 2002, Room T-2B3, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
    The entire meeting will be open to public attendance.
    The agenda for the subject meeting shall be as follows: Monday, 
September 9, 2002--1:30 p.m. until 5 p.m.
    The Subcommittee will continue its discussion of activities 
associated with the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), specifically 
status of staff activities to address the issue in the Staff 
Requirements Memorandum of December 20, 2001, in which the Commission 
directed that the NRC staff, with input from ACRS, should provide 
recommendations for resolving in a transparent manner, apparent 
conflicts and discrepancies between aspects of the revised ROP process 
that are risk-informed (e.g., significance determination process) and 
those that are performance based (e.g., performance indicators). The 
purpose of this meeting is to gather information, analyze relevant 
issues and facts, and to formulate proposed positions and actions, as 
appropriate, for deliberation by the full Committee.
    Oral statements may be presented by members of the public with the 
concurrence of the Subcommittee Chairman and written statements will be 
accepted and made available to the Committee. Electronic recordings 
will be permitted only during those portions of the meeting that are 
open to the public, and questions may be asked only by members of the 
Subcommittee, its consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral 
statements should notify the Designated Federal Official named below 
five days prior to the meeting, if possible, so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made.
    During the initial portion of the meeting, the Subcommittee, along 
with any of its consultants who may be present, may exchange 
preliminary views regarding matters to be considered during the balance 
of the meeting.
    The Subcommittee will then hear presentations by and hold 
discussions with representatives of the NRC staff and other interested 
persons regarding matters scheduled for this meeting.
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, and the Chairman's ruling on 
requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the time 
allotted therefor can be obtained by contacting the Designated Federal 
Official, Ms. Maggalean W. Weston (telephone 301/415-3151) between 8
