You folks should also be on distribution, just in case you didn't already know about this.

Tomorrow’s Federal Register will contain an announcement of a vacancy on the NRC’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). To the best of my knowledge, Mike Ryan was the last Health Physicist who served as a member of the ACRS. This would appear to be a golden opportunity for HPS to support a nomination. The ACRS is a part-time advisory group, which is statutorily mandated by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. ACRS provides independent expert advice on matters related to the safety of existing and proposed nuclear power plants and on the adequacy of proposed reactor safety standards. See the NRC Web site at http:// www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/<http://www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/> advisory/acrs.html for additional information about ACRS. Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and experience, demonstrated skills in nuclear reactor safety matters, the ability to solve complex technical problems, and the ability to work collegially on a board, panel, or committee. The Commission, in selecting its Committee members, also considers the need for specific expertise to accomplish the work expected to be before the ACRS. ACRS Committee members are appointed for four-year terms with no term limits. The Commission looks to fill one vacancy as a result of this request. For this position, a candidate must have extensive experience in nuclear power plant probabilistic risk assessment and risk management. Best qualified candidates will have at least 20 years of specific PRA and risk management experience, considerable broad experience and a distinguished record of achievement in one or more areas of nuclear science and technology or related engineering discipline(s). Resumes should be submitted to Jamila Perry and Alesha Bellinger, ACRS, Mail Stop T2E26, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001, or email [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> and [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Resumes will be accepted only until December 28,2016. I suggest that this notice be posted on the HPS Website and, perhaps, broadcast to the membership. caL Craig A.
