-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) was

to the hazards of proposed or existing reactor facilities, to review
each application for a

construction permit or operating license for certain facilities
specified in the AEA, and such other duties as the Commission may
request. The AEA as amended by Public Law 100-456 also specifies that
the Defense Nuclear Safety Board may obtain the advice and
recommendations of the ACRS.
Membership on the Committee includes individuals experienced in
reactor operations, management; probabilistic risk assessment; analysis
of reactor accident phenomena; design of nuclear power plant
structures, systems and components; materials science; and mechanical,
civil, and electrical engineering.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that renewal of
the charter for the ACRS until December 3, 2020, is in the public
interest in connection with the statutory responsibilities assigned to
the ACRS. This action is being taken in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act.
