MEMORANDUM TO:	John T. Larkins, Executive Director ACRS/ACNW
FROM:	Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary */RA/*
SUBJECT:	STAFF REQUIREMENTS - MEETING WITH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS (ACRS), 9:00 A.M., FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2003, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, ONE WHITE FLINT NORTH, ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE)

The Commission was briefed by members of the ACRS on the following topics:

Overview
Advanced Reactor Designs
Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Reevaluation Project
ACRS 2003 Report on the NRC Safety Research Program

The Commission appreciates the ACRS's participation in multilateral meetings of nuclear regulatory advisory committees, as appropriate. The Committee should consider including nuclear regulatory advisory committees from other countries in future meetings. In the course of its routine activities of reviewing and advising the Commission on reactor issues, the Committee should explore and consider other international regulatory approaches. Where there are significant differences in regulatory approaches and requirements, the Commission should be informed.

The ACRS is welcome to propose changing the frequency and nature of its review and evaluation of the NRC safety research program so that it is most useful to the Commission.
