2 The ACRS membership includes individuals from national laboratories, academia, and industry who f
possess speedic technical expertise along with a broad perspective in addressing safety concems.
{
Committee members are selected from a variety of engineering c-d vientific disciplines, such as nuclear power plant operations, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, structural engineering, materials J
science, and instrumentation and process control systems. At this time, candidates are specifically bemg sought who have 15-20 years of specific experience, including graduate level education, in the areas of nuclear power plant operations and probabilistic risk assessment.
Criteria used to evaluate candidates include education and experience, demonstrated skills in nuclear safety matters, and the ability to solve problems. Additionally, the Commission considers the need for specific expertise in relationship to current and future tasks. Consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Commission seeks candidates with i
varying views so that the membership on the Committee will be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and functions to be performed by the Committee.
Because conflict-of-interest regulations restrict the participation of members actively involved in the regulated aspects of the nuclear industry, the degree and nature of any such involvement will be j
weighed. Each qualified candidate's financialinterests must be reconciled with applicable Federal and NRC rules and regulations prior to final appointment. This might require divestiture of securities issued by nuclear industry entities, or discontinuance of industry-funded research contracts or grants.
Copies of a resum6 describing the educational and professional background of the candidate,
I, a
3 including any special accomplishments, professional references, current address and telephone number should be provided.
All qualified candidates will receive careful consideration.
Appointment will be made without regard to such factors as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disabilities. Candidates must be citizens of the United States and be able to devote approximately 50-100 days per year to Committee business. Applications will be accepted until March 13,1998.
