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 l, {!.

. concrete alternatives, but should not be taken to represent any fixed views l

-about the role or structure of an INRF.

i

!j L

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

prior to the September Senior Regulators meeting.

Sincerely, 1

Shirley Ann Jackson
