NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Seeks Qualified Candidates for Advisory Committee on Reactor
Safeguards
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Request for resumes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is looking for
qualified candidates for possible appointment to its Advisory Committee
on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). There are three openings expected on the
Committee in 1996. One or two openings may be filled by reappointment
of incumbents.
ADDRESSES: Submit resumes to: Ms. Jude Himmleberg, Office of Personnel,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
FOR APPLICATION MATERIALS, CALL: 1-800-952-9678. Please refer to
Announcement Number 95-1000.
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 more than 100
[[Page 46629]]
nuclear units in the United States and technical and policy issues
related to evolutionary and passive standard plant designs.
The ACRS membership includes individuals from national
laboratories, academic and research institutions, industry, and
consulting engineering firms who possess specific technical expertise
along with a broad perspective in addressing safety concerns.
The members of the ACRS are selected from a variety of engineering
and scientific disciplines such as nuclear power plant operations,
nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,
chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, structural
engineering, materials science, and instrumentation and process control
systems. At this time, candidates are being sought with specific
expertise in the areas of nuclear power plant operations and
instrumentation and process control systems.
Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and
experience, demonstrated skills in nuclear safety matters, and the
ability to apply one's skills to solve problems. Additionally, the
Commission considers the need for specific expertise in relationship to
current and future tasks, 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 so that the membership on the Committee will be fairly
balanced terms of the point of views represented and the functions to
be performed by the Committee.
Because conflict of interest regulations restrict the participation
of members actively involved in the regulated aspects of the nuclear
industry, the degree and nature of any such involvement will be
considered. Each qualified candidate'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, or discontinue or limit involvement in NRC
or industry-funded research contracts or grants, based on a
determination of possible conflict of interest.
Copies of resume describing the educational and professional
background of the candidate, including any special accomplishments,
professional references, current address, and telephone number should
be provided. All qualified candidates will receive full consideration.
Appointment will be made without regard to such factors as race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, age, or disabilities. Candidates must
be citizens of the United States and be able to devote approximately
50-100 days per year to Committee business. Applications will be
accepted until November 24, 1995.
Dated: August 31, 1995.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
