Dr. Agnes Bishop President Atomic Energy Control Board i P.O. Box 1046

Dear Dr. Bishop:

International cooperation in nuclear regulation can make an important contribution to safety, especially in research, and the lack of a permanent fc. rum solel) devoted to the interests and challenges faced by nuclear regulators worldwide. I have proposed establishing an independent i trultilateral mechanism, an International Nuclear Regulators Forum (INRF), in which nuclear regulatory officials can exchange views, coordinate approaches and harmonize arrangements, for the safe and secure use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. .

I recently accepted an invitation to make a presentation on current and future needs of nuclear regulatory bodies at the NEA Senior Regulators September 12- '

13, 1996 meeting in Paris. This meeting presents an opportunity to move forward with broader, more in depth discussions.

~

The enclosed discussion paper has been preparr.d for meeting participants. To provide a more concrete basis for discussion, a draft Terms of Reference (TOR)

has also been included. The TOR was pretared to focus discussion on some

concrete alternatives, but should not bt taken to represent any fixed views 4 about the role or structure of an INRF.

Your early views on the discussion paper and the TOR would be appreciated  !

prior to the September Senior Regulators meeting. l 3

Sincerely, h~b yfL. ~
