NRC SEEKS TOPIC SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR’S
REGULATORY INFORMATION CONFERENCE
Printable Version

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking suggestions for topics and plenary sessions to be included in the next Regulatory Information Conference (RIC), scheduled for March 7-9, 2006, in Rockville, Md.

Topics at last year’s meeting included: regulatory trends, risk-informed emergency reactor core cooling requirements, spent nuclear fuel management, new reactor licensing and security in a post-9/11 world.

The goal of the RIC is to provide a forum for discussion of challenging technical and regulatory topics by the NRC, industry stakeholders and the public. Conference topic suggestions can be submitted electronically through: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/conference-symposia/ric/. The deadline for suggestions is Aug. 26, 2005. Those interested in attending the conference will also be able to register through that Web link beginning in December 2005. The conference will be held at the Marriott Bethesda North, 5701 Marinelli Rd. For more information, contact Sharon Bell at 301-415-1217 or Mary Glenn Crutchley at 301-415-2338.
