Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 228 / Monday, November 28, 2016 / Notices
are the safety issues associated with the
operation of 99 commercial nuclear
power plants in the United States and
regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based
regulation, 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,
materials, and structural engineering,
nuclear analysis and reactor core
performance, and nuclear materials and
radiation protection. In addition, the
ACRS may be requested to provide
advice on radiation protection,
radioactive waste management, and
earth sciences in the agency’s licensing
reviews for fuel fabrication and
enrichment facilities, and for waste
disposal facilities. The ACRS also has
some involvement in security matters
related to the integration of safety and
security of commercial reactors.
See the NRC Web site at https://
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).
Consistent with the requirements of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
the Commission seeks candidates with
diverse backgrounds, so that the
membership on the Committee is fairly
balanced in terms of the points of view
represented and functions to be
performed by the Committee.
Candidates will undergo a thorough

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. However, because conflict-ofinterest 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. As a part of the
Stop Trading on Congressional
Knowledge Act of 2012, which bans
insider trading by members of Congress,
their staff, and other high-level federal
employees, candidates for appointments
will be required to disclose additional
financial transactions.
A resume describing the educational
and professional background of the
candidate, including any special
accomplishments, publications, and
professional references should be
provided. Candidates should provide
their current address, telephone
number, and email address. All
candidates will receive careful
consideration. Appointment will be
made without regard to factors such as
race, color, religion, national origin, sex,
age, or disabilities. Candidates must be
citizens of the United States and be able
to devote approximately 100 days per
year to Committee business, but may not
be compensated for more than 130
calendar days. Resumes will be
accepted until December 28, 2016.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd
day of November, 2016.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.
