Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards: Charter Renewal

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of the charter of the Advisory Committee on 
Reactor Safeguards.

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

SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) was 
established by section 29 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954, as 
amended. Its purpose is to provide advice to the Commission with regard 
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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission has 
determined that renewal of the charter for the ACRS until December 2, 
2026, is in the public interest in connection with the statutory 
responsibilities assigned to the ACRS.

Secretary, NRC, Washington, DC 20555; telephone: (301) 415-7469 or at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 and 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.
    This action is being taken in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act.
