SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) seeks qualified
candidates for the Advisory Committee
on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Submit
´
´
resumes to: Ms. Angelina Chapeton,
Administrative Assistant, ACRS/
ACNW&M, Mail Stop T2E–26, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555–0001, or e-mail
AHC@NRC.GOV.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Of primary importance
are the safety issues associated with the
operation of 104 commercial nuclear
power plants in the United States and
regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based
regulations, license renewal, power
uprates, and the use of mixed oxide and
high burnup fuels. An increased
emphasis is being given to safety issues
associated with new reactor designs and
technologies, including passive system
reliability and thermal hydraulic
phenomena, use of digital
instrumentation and control,
international codes and standards used
in multinational design certifications,
material and structural engineering, and
nuclear analysis and reactor core
performance. 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 analyses and the
assessment of effective mitigation
strategies. See NRC Web site at https://
www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/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,
considers the need for a specific
expertise to accomplish the work
expected to be before the ACRS. ACRS
Committee members are appointed for
four-year terms and normally serve no
more than three terms. The Commission
hopes to fill three vacancies as a result
of this request. For these positions, the
expertise must be at least 10 years of
experience in one or more of the areas
of Materials Engineering, Digital
Instrumentation and Control, or plant
Operations. Candidates with pertinent
graduate level experience will be given
additional consideration. Consistent
with the requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, the
Commission seeks candidates with
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.
Candidates will undergo a through
security background check to obtain the
security clearance that is mandatory for
all ACRS members. The security
background check will involve the
completion and submission of
paperwork to NRC. Candidates for
ACRS appointments may be involved in
or have financial interests related to
NRC-regulated aspects of the nuclear
industry. Because conflict-of-interest
considerations may restrict the
participation of a candidate in ACRS
activities, the degree and nature of any
such restriction on an individual’s
activities as a member will be
considered in the selection process.
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 or discontinuance of certain
contracts or grants. Information
regarding these restrictions will be
provided upon request.

provided. Candidates should provide
their current address, telephone

candidates will receive careful
consideration. Appointment will be
made without regard to factors such as
race, color, religion, national origin, sex,

Candidates must be citizens of the
United States and be able to devote
approximately 100 days per year to

Committee business. Resumes will be
accepted until November 30, 2007.

In the Matter of General Atomics;
TRIGA Mark I and Mark F; Order
Imposing Fingerprinting and Criminal
History Records Check; Requirements
for Unescorted Access to the General
Atomics’ Research and Test Reactors
(Effective Immediately)
General Atomics (GA or the licensee)
holds two licenses, R–38 and R–67, for
TRIGA reactors, that are classified as
research and test reactors (RTRs), issued
in accordance with the Atomic Energy
Act (AEA) of 1954, as amended, by the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or the Commission). On August 8,
2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct) was enacted. Section 652 of the
EPAct amended section 149 of the AEA
to require fingerprinting and a Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
identification and criminal history
records check of any person who is
permitted unescorted access to a
utilization facility, which includes the
GA RTRs.
Prior to September 11, 2001, the
Commission established physical
protection requirements applicable to
RTRs, which included storing and using
special nuclear material in controlled
access areas, monitoring the controlled
access areas for unauthorized activities,
and ensuring a response to all
unauthorized activities.
Subsequent to the terrorist events of
September 11, 2001, the NRC took
various actions to ensure the
acceptability of individuals for
unescorted access to RTRs. RTRs were
advised to consider taking additional
