Dear Dr. Togo:
i
'1 By the time you receive this letter, I hope to have spoken with you about the ;
l; '
important contribution international cooperation in nuclear regulation can !
make to safety, especially in research, and the' lack of a permanent forum solely devoted to the interests and challenges faced by nuclear regulators j worldwide. I have proposed establishing an independent multilateral '
l 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 L
purposes.
l I'have accepted an invitatio'. to make a presentation on current and future L needs of nuclear regulatory k>ooi9s at the NEA Senior Regulators September 12- !
-13, 1996 meeting in Paris. This w eting presents an opportunity to movo
, i forward with broader,'more in depth discussions. )
i The enclosed discussion paper has' been prepared for meeting participants. To i
~i- provide a more concrete basis for di.;cussion, a draft Terms of Reference (TOR) i! has also been included. The TOR was prepared to focus discussion on some
. concrete alternatives, but should not be taken to represent any fixed views l , {! . -about the role or structure of an INRF. i L
!j Your early views on the discussion paper and the TOR would be appreciated I
- prior to the September Senior Regulators meeting.
Sincerely, !
Enclosure:
