As a follow-up, each ASI director may
be asked to verify whether all NSF
awardees attended the institute. If an
awardee is identified as not utilizing the
funds as prescribed, we contact the
awardee to retrieve the funds. However,
if our efforts are not successful, we will
forward the awardee’s name to the
Division of Grants and Agreements
(DGA), which has procedures to deal
with that situation.
We also ask the awardee to submit a
final report on an NSF Form 250, which
we provide as an attachment to the
electronic award message.
• Selection of Awardees:
The criteria used to select NSF
Advanced Study Institute travel
awardees are as follows:
1. The applicant is an advanced
graduate student.
2. We shall generally follow the order
of the nominations, listed by the
director of the institute, within priority
level.
3. Those who have not attended an
ASI in the past will have a higher
priority than those who have.
4. Nominees from different
institutions and research groups have
higher priority than those from the same
institution or research group. (Typically,
no more than one person is invited from
a school or from a research group.)
Use of the Information: For NSF Form
192, information will be used in order
to verify eligibility and qualifications for
the award. For NSF Form 250,
information will be used to verify
attendance at Advanced Study Institute
and will be included in Division annual
report.
Estimate of Burden: Form 192—1.5
hours; Form 250—2 hours.
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Award: 150 responses, broken down as
follows: For NSF Form 250, 75
respondents; for NSF Form 192, 75
respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 262. 5 hours, broken
down by 150 hours for NSF Form 250
(2 hours per 75 respondents); and 112.5
hours for NSF Form 192 (1.5 hours per
75 respondents).
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Dated: February 17, 2005.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Seeks Qualified Candidates for the
Advisory Committee on Reactor
Safeguards
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
´
´
ACTION: Request for resumes.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission is seeking qualified
candidates for appointment to its
Advisory Committee on Reactor
Safeguards (ACRS).
´
ADDRESSES: Submit resumes to: Ms.
Sherry Meador, Administrative
Assistant, ACRS/ACNW, Mail Stop
T2E–26, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, or e-mail SAM@NRC.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress
established the ACRS to provide the
NRC with 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. The Committee work
currently emphasizes safety issues
associated with the operation of 103
commercial nuclear units in the United
States; the pursuit of a risk-informed
and performance-based regulatory
approach; license renewal applications;
risk-informed revisions to 10 CFR Part
50; power uprates; transient and
accident analysis codes; materials
degradation issues; use of mixed oxide
and high burnup fuels; and advanced
reactor designs. The ACRS also has
some involvement in security matters
related to the integration of safety and
security of commercial reactors. This
work involves technical issues
associated with consequence analysis
and the assessment of effective
mitigation strategies.
The ACRS membership includes
individuals from national laboratories,
academia, and industry who possess
specific technical expertise along with a
broad perspective in addressing safety
concerns. Committee members are
selected from a variety of engineering
and scientific disciplines, such as
nuclear power plant operations, nuclear
engineering, mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, chemical
engineering, metallurgical engineering,
risk assessment, structural engineering,
materials science, and instrumentation
and process control systems. Committee
members serve a 4-year term with the
possibility of reappointment up to a
maximum of two terms, for a potential
total service of 12 years. At this time,
candidates are specifically being sought
who have 10 or more years of
PO 00000

experience in the areas of thermal
hydraulics, materials and metallurgy
and/or plant operations. Candidates
with pertinent graduate level experience
will be given additional consideration.
Individuals should have a demonstrated
record of accomplishments in the area
of nuclear reactor safety. It is the NRC’s
policy to select the best qualified
applicant for the job, regardless of race,
gender, age, religion, or any other nonmerit factor.
Criteria used to evaluate candidates
include education and experience,
demonstrated skills in nuclear safety
matters, and the ability to solve
problems. Additionally, the
Commission considers the need for
specific expertise in relationship to
current and future tasks. Consistent
with the requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, the
Commission seeks candidates with
varying views and of diverse
backgrounds so that the membership on
the Committee will be fairly balanced in
terms of the points of view represented
and functions to be performed by the
Committee.
Because conflict-of-interest
regulations restrict the participation of
members actively involved in the
regulated aspects of the nuclear
industry, the degree and nature of any
such involvement will be weighed. Each
qualified candidate’s financial interests
must be reconciled with applicable
Federal and NRC rules and regulations
prior to final appointment. This might
require divestiture of securities issued
by nuclear industry entities, or
discontinuance of industry-funded
research contracts or grants. A security
background investigation for a Q
clearance (or the transfer of an up-todate Q clearance) will also be required.
Candidates must be citizens of the
United States and be able to devote
approximately 80–100 days per year to
´
´
Committee business. A resume
describing the educational and
professional background of the
candidate, including any special
accomplishments, professional
references, current address, and
telephone number should be provided.
All qualified candidates will receive
careful consideration. Applications will
be accepted until June 6, 2005.
Dated: February 17, 2005.
Andrew L. Bates,
Advisory Committee Management Officer.
