Dear Mr. Tunney,
SUBJECT:
Inter-Agency Cost Reimbursement Order #97-8810/378 Enclosed please find the subject IACRO which I have signed on behalf of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Its purpose is to fund NRC in the performance of its work with the Russian Federation Gosatomnadzor (GAN) and other entities to enhance Russian capabilities in performing the necessary regulatory and safety assessments related to the nuclear core conversion project.
Section 3 of the IACRO Statement of Work (SOW) defines the tasks that will lead to the definition of a program of NRC assistance to GAN (Part One). GAN and NRC are now awaiting approval by Minatom of an Arrangement to which GAN and NRC are now in agreement. In anticipation of that approval, representatives of GAN have informally communicated their first request for such assistance and my staff is working them to define the most useful and cost-effective means to respond to this request.
When the Arrangement is signed and the first GAN request fully defined, the request will be forwarded to the Core Conversion implementing Agreement Executive Agents via ,
Captain Landers, Director of the Core Conversion Project. The degree to which NRC will be ;
able to perform its role will be affected by the efficiency of the subsequent approval process by the Executive Agents and the provision of adequate funds to enable NRC to proceed with the resultant tasks that will then constitute Part Two of Section 3 of the IACRO SOW.
I look forward to the smooth and expeditious implementation of this process and, in the end, to NRC's role in this project effecting real improvements in the safety of the converted reactor designs.
Sincerely, Scott F. Newberry Signed For:
