NRC's ACRS PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETS MARCH 27, 28; REVISES AGENDA FOR MARCH 16 JOINT SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) has scheduled a meeting of its subcommittee on plant license renewal for March 27 and 28 in Rockville, Maryland. In addition, the Committee has revised the agenda for the March 16 joint meeting in Rockville of its subcommittees on materials and metallurgy, thermal-hydraulic phenomena, and reliability and probabilistic risk assessment.

All of the meetings, which will be open to the public, will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Room T-2B3 of the agency's Two White Flint North building, at 11545 Rockville Pike.

On March 27, the subcommittee will review selected boiling water reactor Vessel and Internals Project reports applicable to the Edwin I. Hatch nuclear power plant license renewal application and the proposed final revisions of license renewal regulatory guidance documents, including:

-- the Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) report,

-- the Standard Review Plan and Regulatory Guide for license renewal,

-- and the Nuclear Energy Institute's "Industry Guideline for Implementing the Requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 -- The License Renewal Rule."

The following day, the subcommittee will discuss the draft Safety Evaluation Report for the Southern Nuclear Operating Company's license renewal application for Hatch Units 1 and 2.

The previously announced agenda for the March 16 joint session of subcommittees has been revised to include a discussion of the proposed final ACRS report on the NRC Safety Research Program, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
