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. -
