March 22, 1999 The Honorable Shirley Ann JacksonChairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jackson: SUBJECT: CORE RESEARCH CAPABILITIES During the 460th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, March 10-13, 1999, we discussed the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) proposal described in SECY-99- 064, "Core Research Capabilities." We had the benefit of the documents referenced. In SECY-99-064 RES has proposed to make no further revisions to its core research capability document, SECY-98-076. RES has concluded that competing priorities, such as the RES self- assessment, will be of greater benefit for RES than investing resources at this time to modify the core capability study. We agree with the RES proposal to cease further work to modify the core capability assessment described in SECY-98-076. Sincerely, /s/ Dana A. Powers
