NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Seeks Qualified Candidates for
Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
ACTION: Request for resumes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking
qualified candidates for possible appointment to its Advisory Committee
on Nuclear Waste (ACNW). One opening is expected on the committee in
mid-1996.
ADDRESSES: Submit resumes to: Ms. Jude Himmelberg, Office of Personnel,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CALL: 1-800-952-9678. Please refer to
Announcement Number 96-1000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACNW is a part-time advisory group
established by the NRC in 1988 to provide independent technical review
and advice on the disposal of nuclear waste, including all aspects of
nuclear waste disposal facilities, as directed by the Commission. This
advice covers activities related to licensing, operation and closure of
high- and low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities and
associated rulemakings, regulatory guides and NRC staff technical
positions. The ACNW also reviews performance assessment evaluations of
waste disposal facilities.
The committee interacts with representatives of the NRC, the
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, the Department of Energy,
other Federal, State, and local agencies, Indian Nations and private
organizations as appropriate.
A wide variety of engineering and scientific skills are needed to
conduct the broadly based reviews required in the committee's work.
Engineers and scientists are needed with work experience in the high-
and low-level radioactive waste disposal programs coupled with broad
experience in a pertinent technical field, such as nuclear engineering
and technology, nuclear fuel cycle analysis, nuclear chemistry, earth
sciences, and materials science.
Individuals should have a minimum of 20 years' work experience in
related fields, or fields that can be applied directly to the work of
the committee, and have achieved a level of distinction in their
discipline. In addition, individuals must be able to devote
approximately 50-100 days per year to committee business. Most meetings
are held in Rockville, Maryland, although some additional travel is
required to other sites.
Because conflict-of-interest regulations restrict the participation
of members actively involved in areas related to nuclear waste
disposal, the degree and nature of any such involvement will be
weighed. Each qualified candidate's financial interests must be
reconciled with applicable Federal and NRC rules and regulations before
final appointment to the committee. This may result in the candidate
being required to divest himself or herself of securities issued by
nuclear industry entities, or discontinue or limit involvement in NRC
or industry-funded research contracts or grants, based on a
determination of possible conflicts of interest.
Copies of a resume describing the educational and professional
background of the candidate, including special accomplishments,
professional references, current address, and telephone number should
be provided. All qualified candidates will receive careful
consideration. Appointment will be made without regard to race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, age, or disabilities. Candidates must
be citizens of the United States. Applications will be accepted until
March 31, 1996.
Dated: February 9, 1996.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
