The ACRS was established by Congress to provide the NRC with independent exper' advice on matters related to the safety of operating or proposed nuclear power plants. A variety
- of matters re!ated to the alting, design features (conceptml and details), and operations of large l
nuclear power piants located throughout the United States are evaluated by the ACRS. Emphasis is currently being given to safety issues associated with the operation of more than 100 nuclear units in the United Ste%s and to design features for evolutioney, possive, and advanced reactors.
I The membership is drawn from the variety of engineering and scientific discipilaos needed l
- to conduct the broadly based review for these facilities, as well ss proposed standards and criteria
. and related research activities. The Commission is seeiring' individuals with experience in nuclear Y
plant operations and piobabuistic risk assessmert Canddates are selected to provide a balanced i
L techrdcol base consistent with the requirements of the Federal Mvisc., ommittee Act.

SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is ecoldng qualified cord sees to fill prospective vacancies on its AcMoory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS).
ADDRESS:
Submit resumes to: Ms. Jude Himmelberg, Of5ce of Human Resources, C
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 205554001.
FOR APPLICATION MATERIALS, CALL:
1 800 952-9678. Please refer to Announcement Number 98-00001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Congress estabished the ACRS to provide the NRC mth !ndependent expert advice on matters related to regulatory policy and the safety of existmg and propneed nuclear power plants. The Committee work currently emphasizes safe y issues associated w!th the gD6 wnercial nucisar oower plants in the United States; the pursuit of a riskinformed,Aperformance based regulatory approach; digital instrumentation and control systems; and technical and policy issues related to standard plant doelens.
The ACRS membership includes indMduals from nationallaboratories, academis, and industry who e
i um-
2 possess specific technkel exp6rtise along with a broad perspo&e in addressing safety concems.
Committa members are soloded from a variety of engineering and odontific disciplines, such as nuclear power plant operations, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, strudural engineering, matertals science, and instrumentation and process control systems. At this time, ceMidates are being sought with i!L20 years of specsfic experience, induding graduate level educatic,n, in the arinas of nudear power plant operations and risk assessment.
Criteria used to evaluate cand; dates include education and experience, riemonsbated skills in nucisar safety matters, and the ability to solve problems. Additsonally, the Commission considers the need for specific expertise in relationship to current and future tasks.
Currently the Commission is seeking an individual with expertise in nuclear plant operations and probabilistic risk assessment.
Consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Commesion seeks c6ndidates with varying views so that the membership on the Committee will be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represonted and functions to be performed by the Committee.
a Because confbetef interest regulations restrict the pa&4.Uwn of members actively involved in he
. regulated aspects of the nucisar industry, the degree and nature of any such involvement will be weighed. Each quellflod candidate's financial interests must be recondled with applicable Federal -
~snd NRC rules and regulations prior to final appointmort This might require divestit:re of securities issued by nuclear industry entities, or discontinuance of industry-funded research contracts or grants.
