INFORMATION (2)
Jmoact of ACRS Workload on ACRS Budget and Staff Resources An extrapolation of the rate (approximately 70 subcommittee meetings this year) at which the Committee is using its allocated travel and program support funds indicates that the funds are adequate (including the trip to Europe for the 2nd Quadripartite meeting of Advisory Committees) (See Attachment B, p.
3, for detailed breakdown), but there is not the usual excess of program support money that has been available in previous years.
This has created a problem with respect to a contract with BNL (Dr. Wolfgang Wulff) that Ivan Catton is interested in.
This work consists of scaling studies associated with the SPES II and ROSA-5 facilities, including development of Scaling
]
Criteria and their application to SPES II, ROSA-5, and AP600.
3 3
A pc iminary estimate for this work is approximately $46,250 (see Attachment C, PP. 4-11).
It is unlikely that we will be able to get additional funds this year to accomplish this work so the money would have to come from somewhere else in the program.
Deferral of the Quadripartite meeting ($44,000) until next year is one possibility.
Another is to ask the NRC staff and/or Westinghouse to develop the necessary criteria.
A Committee decision is needed.
Imnact on Staff Resources With six project engineers, we can just about keep up with the current workload.
We will be losing Medhat El-Zeftawy in January for a
three-month rotational assignment in Commissioner Rogers' Office, and Herman Alderman may be on sick leave well into January.
This could hamper our ability to provide normal support to subcommittee meetings, and we may have to request that some meetings be deferred until the staff is back up to its normal compliment.
Sam and Dick vill work out any necessary delays with the cognizant subcommittee chairman and, if necessary, solicit guidance from the Planning and Procedures Subcommittee.
In order to help alleviate this problem, we will begin recruiting for an additional staff engineer based on an FTE that Forrest Remick has helped to get for us in 1993 rather than waiting until 1994.

A Working Group meeting was held on May 26, 1992, with representatives of the RSK to discuss planning for this meeting.
The Committee sent letters to RSK and GPR (France) on June 29, 1992, recommending that such a meeting be held.
A response was received propos-ing a meeting in Europe during spring, summer, or f all of 1993.
The topics of particular interest to the ACRS which have been proposed are:
1.
The use of digitized / computerized control and safety systems in nuclear plants.
