Staff will conduct a “Webinar” as part of a public meeting in Rockville, Md
– By Abby Gessner –
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will conduct a “Webinar” as part of a public meeting in Rockville, Md., on Thursday, June 4, to discuss interim staff guidance for conducting reviews for research and test reactor (RTR) operating license renewals.
The agency is working to resolve a backlog of RTR license renewal requests and the staff guidance is meant to promptly resolve the backlog while maintaining safety standards. The guidance is available through the NRC’s electronic documents database by entering ML091420066 in the database search engine at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm.
The meeting is part of the staff’s effort to work with the RTR community and the public to determine the most appropriate approach to resolving the renewal backlog. Webinar participants can view the staff’s presentations and guidance documents online, as well as take part in discussions on the guidance.
The NRC will hold the meeting from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Legacy Hotel and Meeting Centre, 1775 Rockville Pike in Rockville. A teleconference line will also be available for members of the public. For more information on the Webinar and teleconference, or to register for the meeting, please contact Duane Hardesty at (301) 415-3724 or duane.hardesty@nrc.gov.
