Dear Dr. Yoshikawa:
1 want to thank=you for the time that 3au took to meet with me and for the excellent arrangements that were made for my visit to the Tokai Research Establishment. I found our discussions as well as the technical presentations by your staff very informative. From the discussions and tour of WASTEF, it appears that both of our organizations are conducting complementary work.
Therefore, I invite you to send representatives from your waste disposal program to visit NRC's Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analysis in San Antonio, Texas. This would be an excellent opportunity for our staffs to improve their understanding of each other's programs and identify areas for possible' collaborative efforts. Please let me know if this suggestion is acceptable to you, and I will see that the necessary arrangements are made.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson (1

Dear Dr. Inoue:
I want to thank you for the time that you took to meet with me during my recent visit to Tokyo. I found our discussions interesting, and I gained a better understanding of your current programs. The cooperation between our organizations has been very beneficial and I look forward to future opportunities for collaboration. One such area for joint work might be Probablistic Safety Analysis. I also want to thank you for the very pleasant lunch that you hosted. Your candid comments concerning the dynamics of your nuclear power program and approach to safety research were of interest.
I wish you continued success and continued strong cooperation between our two safety programs.
Sincerely, Shirley Ann Jackson I

Dear Mr. Kohsaka:
I want to thank you for the time that you and your senior staff took from your busy schedules to meet with me when I visited your facilities. I very much appreciated all of the briefings and the technical site tours which gave me a better understanding of your safety research programs. NRC and JAERI have a long and very successful history of collaborative research, and the benefits to the NRC regulatory safety programs have been significant. From the discussions and tour of WASTEF, it appears that both of our organizations are conducting complementary work. As I mentioned during the very pleasant lunch that you hosted, 1 invite you to visit NRC's Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analysis in San Antonio, Texas. You should then plan to stop in Washington to meet with the senior technical staff to discuss possible areas of cooperation. Please let me know if this suggestion is acceptable, and I will see that the necessary arrangements are made for your visit.
I wish you great success with your program and for our continued cooperation.

Dear Dr. Whitman:
I want to express my appreciation to you and Mr. Stephen Tanski for the outstanding support and assistance provided to me during my visit. Japan is one of NRC's most -important regulatory safety pjirtners, and my comprehensive schedule of meetings and site visits helped me gain a better insight into their nuclear power and fuel-cycle program. I would also like to recognize the hard work of Ms. Mami Sugisawa, who's attention to detail on the arrangements for my visit, professional manner, and interpreter skills also helped to ensure the visit's success.
Thank you again for all of your assistance.

\.* ... / May 24, 1996 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Kyo-Sun Lee Executive Vice Chairman Korea Atomic Industrial Forum, Inc.
21 Yeoeuido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-ku .
Seoul 150-010 l Republic of Korea
Dear Dr. Lee:
I I wanted to thank you again for the invitation to address the participants in .
the Plenary Session of the lith KAIF/KNS Annual Conference. It was indeed an l honor and a privilege to be among such distinguished company, both at the reception the evening of April 11 and at the Plenary Session the following morning. I do regret that other unexpected calls on my time limited my 1
ability to participate fully in previously scheduled KAIF/KNS activities, but I hope you understood that it was not from any lack of interest on my part in ;
the Conference proceedings.
I commend you on what seemed to be a highly successful Conference, with a large international contingent and an even larger domestic one. I believe the level of participation reflects widespread recognition and acknowledgement that Korea has taken a front-row seat in the international nuclear power j community. You can be proud to have achieved such status in such a relatively )
short time. ;
As you know, I used the occasion of the Conference to schedule a more extended visit to the ROK. I had only four-and-one-half days there, but they turned out to be extremely informative - and rewarding - ones. Thank you for the opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation of the ROK's nuclear program and plans. I look forward to visiting again.
Sincerely, M
