NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Call For Nominations For Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Call for nominations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests
nominations of qualified candidates to consider for appointment to its
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Currently, there is
one opening on the Committee and another vacancy is anticipated within
the next several months.
ADDRESSES: Submit nominations to: Ms. Jude Himmelberg, Office of
Personnel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Jude Himmelberg at 1-800-368-5642 or in the Washington, DC area,
301-415-7119 (after July 8, 1994).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS was established by Congress to
provide the Commission with independent expert advice on matters
related to regulatory policy and the safety of existing and proposed
nuclear power plants. The Committee work currently emphasizes safety
issues associated with the operation of the more than 100 nuclear units
in the United States and technical and policy issues related to
evolutionary and passive standard plant designs.
Traditionally, the membership of the ACRS has included individuals
from national laboratories, academic and research institutions,
industry, and consulting engineering firms having specific technical
expertise along with a broad perspective in addressing systems
concerns.
The members of the ACRS are selected from a variety of engineering
and scientific disciplines. Candidates are being sought with experience
in such fields as nuclear power plant operations, nuclear engineering,
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics,
metallurgical engineering, materials science, structural engineering,
chemical engineering, process control systems, and related fields. The
Commission has expressed particular interest in candidates with
specific expertise in the areas of reactor accident analysis, digital
instrumentation and control, or advanced computer applications.
Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and experience,
demonstrated skills in nuclear safety matters, and the ability to apply
one's skills to problems outside of one's specific area of expertise.
Additionally, the Commission considers the need for specific expertise
in relationship to the tasks that lie ahead, availability of candidates
to serve, and possible conflicts of interest. Consistent with the
requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Commission
seeks candidates with varying views on reactor safety issues.
Because members actively involved in the regulated aspects of the
nuclear industry might be of limited use to the Committee, the degree
and nature of any such involvement will be considered. Each qualified
nominee's financial interests must be reconciled with applicable
federal and NRC rules and regulations prior to 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,
discontinue research projects, and/or limit involvement in certain
types of contracts, based on a determination of possible conflict of
interest.
Copies of a resume describing the educational and professional
background of the nominee, including any special accomplishments,
professional references, current address, and telephone number should
be provided. All qualified nominees will receive full consideration.
Appointment will be made without regard to such factors as race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, age, or handicapping condition.
Nominees must be citizens of the United States and be able to devote
approximately 50-100 days per year to Committee business. We will be
accepting applications until August 31, 1994.
Dated: June 22, 1994.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
