No. 96-117 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Thursday, August 29, 1996)
NRC ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS
TO MEET SEPTEMBER 12-13
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards
(ACRS) has scheduled a technical meeting September 12-13 in Rockville, Maryland.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held in Conference Room 2B3 in the
NRC's Two White Flint North Building at 11545 Rockville Pike.
Although meetings of the ACRS are open to the public, they are not part of the NRC's
public hearing process. The ACRS, an advisory group to the Commission, conducts independent,
highly technical reviews of safety considerations related to nuclear facilities. While anyone may
attend, the committee will consider only oral or written statements arranged in advance and
limited to specific matters set forth in a Notice of Meeting published in the August 28 edition of
the Federal Register.
The meeting may include closed sessions, if required, to discuss proprietary information.
Here is the complete meeting agenda:
Thursday, September 12
8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. -- Opening remarks by the ACRS chairman.
8:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. -- Discussion with NRC staff regarding the adequacy of computer
codes to analyze steam generator tube temperature distributions during severe accident
conditions.
11:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. -- Discussion of responses from the NRC's executive director for
operations to ACRS recommendations.
11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. -- Discussion of planning and procedures matters.
11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. -- Future ACRS activities.
1:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. -- Discussion with New York Power Authority regarding
shutdown and restart issues for the Indian Point 3 nuclear power plant in New York.
3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. -- Discussion of proposed reports to the NRC.
5:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. -- Discussion of items of significant importance to the NRC.
Friday, September 13
8:35 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. -- Discuss items of mutual interest with the NRC's director of the
Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.

augmented inspection team that investigated a loss of feedwater event in May at Arkansas
Nuclear 1.
1:15 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. -- Discuss proposed reports to the NRC.
