No. 98-184

October 13, 1998

NOTE TO EDITORS:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards has scheduled a meeting of its subcommittee on Reliability and Probabilistic Risk Assessment and its subcommittee on Regulatory Policies and Practices on October 29-30 in Rockville, Maryland.

Both subcommittees will meet from 8:30 a.m. until the conclusion of business on both days, in Room T-2B3 of the NRC's Two White Flint North Building at 11545 Rockville Pike. The subcommittees will continue their discussion of proposed options to make 10 CFR Part 50 risk-informed; the Nuclear Energy Institute whole plant study; and options for developing a risk-informed approach to revising 10 CFR 50.59.

The subcommittees will also review the staff's safety evaluation report for the Westinghouse Owners Group topical report on risk-informed, in-service inspection of piping at nuclear power plants, as well as the results of the associated pilot applications.

Other aspects of the meeting, including an opportunity for public comment, will be described in a forthcoming edition of the Federal Register.
