Eastmoreland Community.
The members of the Safety Subcommittee are expected to have a background in emergency planning, health care, environmental issues, health physics, or be concerned with community issues.
I.3.
Each Subcommittee shall consist of a minimum of five (5) members; no more than two (2) members of each subcommittee may be a current student at Reed College.

End of Insert This change is requested to bring RRF Technical Specifications into agreement with RRF Administrative Procedures, Revised Edition May, 1985.
The format of the revised Administrative Procedures follows that specified in ANSI 15.1 " Technical Specifications for Research Reactors".
The changes combine the previous Reactor Safety Committee and Reactor Operations Committee into one Reactor Safety Committee with Safety and Technical Subcommittees.
The functions of each Subcommittee are described in the Administrative Procedures Sections 2.3.1 Review and 2.3.2 Audits.
A copy of the Administrative Procedures is

Since there are no safety considerations in the proposed changes, and since the resulting structure exceeds the oversight requirements of the previous Tech Specs, RRF requests that these changes be incorporated and that the change to the RRF Technical Specifications be approved.
Sincerely, l
