Dear Chairman Jackson:
I
SUBJECT:
CORE RESEARCH CAPABILITIES During the 460* meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, March 10-13,1999, we discussed the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) proposal described in SECY 064, " Core Research Capabilities." Wtr had the benefit of the documents referenced.
In SECY-99-064 RES has proposed to maFe no further revisions to its core research capability document, SECY-98-076. RES has conclu bd that competing priorities, such as the RES self-assessment, will be of greater benefit for RE I than investing resources at this time to modify the core capability study.
We agree with the RES proposal to cease further work to modify the core capability assessment described in SECY-98-076.
Sincerely, W k. O e" sw _
Dana A. Powers Chairman [
