July 20, 2018 Dr. Michael Corradini, Chairman Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
SUBJECT:
REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SAFETY RESEARCH PROGRAM
Dear Dr. Corradini:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff, I am responding to your letter to Chairman Svinicki dated February 26, 2018, providing the Biennial Review and Evaluation of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Safety Research Program. We greatly value the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) review and evaluation, and useful perspectives and insights to enhance our program.
The staff will use the Committees review in guiding our research program. The ACRS review provides two recommendations to enhance the NRC safety research mission. The staff agrees with these recommendations and plans to implement them within existing programs and process.
The enclosure contains the NRC staff responses to the ACRSs recommendations and specific observations. We will consider your recommendations as we execute the research program and develop research plans and budgets for upcoming fiscal years.
The staff looks forward to continued interactions with the ACRS and future reviews of our safety research program.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Raymond V. Furstenau Director of Nuclear Regulatory Research
