l August 7, 1996 CHAIRMAN Mr. Norio Tanaka Deputy Dire:1.or-General Nuc7 ear Safety Bureau, STA 2N Kosumigaseki, Chiyoda-Ku Tokyo 100 4

Japan

Dear Mr. Tanaka:

t By the time you receive this letter, I hope to have spoken with you about the important contribution international cooperation in nuclear regulation can make to safety, especially in research, and the lack of a permanent forun:

solely devoted to the 9terests and challenges faced by nuclear regulators 2

worldwide.

I have promed establishing an independent multilateral i

mechanism, an Internatinal Nuclear Regulators Forum (INRF), in which nuclear-i regulatory officials c. - nchange views, coordinate approaches and harmonize arrangements,.for the

.c and secure use of nuclear energy for peaceful i

purposes, i

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 i

forward with broader, more in depth discussions.

The enclosed discussion paper has been prepared for meeting participants. To i

provide a more concrete basis for discussion, a draft Terms of Reference (TOR) has also been included. The TOR was prepared to focus discussion on some

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

about the role or structure of an INRF.

l5 Your early views on the discussion paper and.the TOR would be appreciated prior to the September Senior Regulators meeting.

l Sincerely.

f h

Shirley Ann Jackson
