October 9 - 15. 2022 NRC REPORTER SUBMISSION INFORMATION FROM THE EDITOR The NRC Reporter has switched to a quarterly publication schedule. The next issue will be published on December 7, 2022. The deadline for submissions is Monday, November 28, 2022.

In order to continue having an informative employee newsletter. you are encouraged to submit articles. photos, and ideas for features to the NRC Reporter at NRCReporter Resource@nrc,gov.

Thank you for your support!

The NRC Reporter is changing its publication frequency. Starting in 2023, the newsletter will be issued quarterly, not monthly. In addition, the November 2022 issue will not be published; the next issue will appear in December 2022. After that, the quarterly schedule will kick in, so the following issue will be published in March 2023.

The NRC Reporter, appearing for the first time on February 24, 2005, began as a weekly publication posted as a series of Web pages on the agency's Intranet. On January 3, 2012, the still-weekly newsletter switched to PDF format. In mid-2015, the publication frequency changed once again, this time to a monthly format observed until this issue.

While the publication frequency is changing, the newsletter's purpose remains the same: keeping staff informed of the goings-on around the NRC. The NRC Reporter will continue to publish submitted articles, photos, staff profiles of both current and retiring employees, and so much more. Ideas for new features are always welcome. Just send them in to NRCReporter.Resource@nrc.gov for inclusion.

From August 15-19, 2022, NRC staff and Agreement State personnel attended the in-person training course, *s-201, NRC Materials Control Security Systems and Principles,*

hosted at Sandia National Lab. This was one of the first offerings of the course since In-person training was temporarily discontinued during the C0VID-19 pandemic. The course is taught by a variety of subject matter experts from NRC headquarters, NRC regions, Sandia. and the Department of Energy*s National Nuclear Security Administration (D0E/NNSA). This course provides an overview of physical protection systems and the NRC's security requirements in 10 CFR Part 37 for materials licensees that are authorized to possess risk significant quantities of radioactive materials.

Students participated in case studies and hands-on mock inspections to practice evaluating and assessing the adequacy of a physical protection system to protect against theft. sabotage, or diversion of risk significant quantities of radioactive materials. Course topics included:

Access control systems Barriers Interior and exterior intrusion detection sensors Introduction to physical protection systems and Identification of critical components of a physical protective system for detection Locking systems Malicious uses of radioactive materials Response forces Security lighting Target identification Pictured from le~ to right:

Celebrating National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week SHAWN SMITH, NMSS National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week occurred during the week of September 18-24, 2022. The NRC commemorated National HBCU Week with two events on September 20, 2022, both hosted by the Advisory Committee for African Americans (ACAA). HBCU alumni and friends at the NRC, including Commissioners Wright and caputo, took a group photo on the steps of One White Flint North (OWFN); the regions took similar group photos. In addition, a hybrid luncheon was held, which included Commissioner Baran providing opening remarks and Wisdom Martin, FOX 5 Morning News anchor and host on Good Day DC, giving the keynote speech. The luncheon was well attended, with over 70 people attending in-person and over 100 people attending remotely via Teams, including Commissioners Crowell and Csputo and EDO Dan Dorman.

In addition to these events, the NRC also supported the National HBCU Week Conference in Washington, DC, coordinated by the leadership of the White House initiative on HBCUs. The ACAA supported the conference's career fair and various information sessions highlighting NRC opportunities and resources.

Since 1837. HBCUs - originally established to educate former slaves who were once legally denied a right to education - have had a critical role in educating Black people. These great institutions have laid an incredible foundation and pipeline to many generations of scholars, leaders in the arts and sciences, community leaders, philanthropists, and our very own HBCU alumni at the agency. Kudos to the HBCU Week Planning Team, led by NMSS's Shawn Smith.

Dear Dr. Alec,

1Jcar Coo/,

With winter only a few months away, I have a concern regarding the cold weather. I need to keep as warm as possible, but it's difficult to text in the cold without making lots of spelling errors. Do you have any advice?

Thanks, Cool Texter

Dear Dr. Alec,

'Bu{,

<Dr. Sam jlrt Jt fec 1Jear 1Jemon, Halloween is just weeks away. My local long-term weather forecast calls for a wet Halloween week. Do you think this will keep ghouls, ghosts, and goblins away from my house?

Thanks, Demon-ding an Answer

'Ber{,

<Dr. Sam jlrt jl fec Move over, Dear Abby and Ann Landers!

There's a new source for advice at the NRC!

Dr. Sam Art Alec isn't a career counselor or social worker, but he's available to give his opinion on non-work-related issues far and wide.

If your answered question is published in a future NRC Reporter, your identity will remain 100% anonymous. So ask Dr. Alec and receive a response filled with sage advice.

Over the past decade or. so, the NRC's social media program has grown and matured into a credible and reliable source of Information for the public on the NRC's mission, and for the skilled and diverse staff members who carry it out. OPA manages the social media platforms and is always on the lookout for new content. OPA is also sensitive to the unique demands of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, while also contributing to Unkedln and using Flickr as an online photo gallery.

Now the time has come, and OPA has determined, to add another platform to the mix: lnstagram. Our plans are to unveil the NRC's new lnstagram page in October 2022.

Why lnstagram? Well, 1 billion active users, with half of t hem on the platform daily, is one reason. It's a huge audience - and one that, demographicalfy, might not be accessing our website or existing social media. Another reason? The platform offers a different way to tell our story with an emphasis on photos, short videos, and graphics, rather than verbiage. lnstagram is less about "official news," which will remain largely on Facebook, news releases, and the NRC website, and more about creativity. with a focus on people and messaging campaigns of various sorts.

You'll be able to reach the lnstagram page through the homepage links (as you already can with our other platforms) without having an account. Or you can follow us if you're already on lnstagram.

On lnstagram, we'll be building on the success of #OnTheJob and #NRCHires campaigns currently on Facebook. but creating other interesting content, too, to tell our story in a new and different way to a new audience. We hope you'll give it support when we go live. If you have specific content you think could be highlighted, send an email to Stephanie.West@nrc.goy. or to comment more generally, feel free to let us know via OPA.Resource@nrc.gov.

NMSS Hosts Its Annual Picnic SHAWN SMITH, NMSS On September 22, 2022, NMSS hosted its 10th NMSS Picnic at the Cabin John group picnic area in Potomac, Maryland. The picnic was attended by over 115 NMSS staff and managers and included the traditional NMSS softball game. It was great to see so many people in-person, and to celebrate our people! Kudos to the NMSS Picnic Planning Team for a successful and fu n afternoon in the park!

Page 8 Fire Prevention Week: October 9 - 15, 2022 NAEEM IQBAL, NRR Each year in early fall, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sponsors Fire Prevention Week. Its purpose is to increase public awareness and education of fire safety and prevention to better understand the most common causes of fires and how we can work to minimize them.

The goal of Fire Prevention Week is to make sure people recognize that fire remains a very real risk and that everyone needs to take action to protect themselves and their families.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 100 YEARS liJ 1922-2022 The campaign has been observed during the week of October 9th since 1922, making it the longest-running public health and safety observance campaign. It commemorates the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871. causing widespread devastation.

This year's Fire Prevention Week theme is "Fire Won't Wait. Plan Your Escape."

For more than a decade, model building codes and NFPA 101. "Life Safety Code,* requires all new one-and two-family dwellings to be protected by automatic sprinklers for two simple reasons: most fire deaths and injuries happen in homes, and the fuel load in today's homes may be a factor. Fed by petroleum-based plastics In furniture and accessories, fires burn more quickly, meaning occupants have less time to get themselves out of a home safely.

Modern residential upholstered furniture Is extremely combustible. Upholstered furniture fires comprised 1% of total home fires between 2013 and 2017, but they accounted for 17% of all fire deaths - one more reason to embrace home fire sprinklers.

Additionally, the demand for larger houses and the popularity of open space in the designs, such as combined kitchen, dining and/or living rooms. means smoke, heat, and fire move much more quickly through homes. Modern construction materials also have increased fire dangers because today's lightweight wood construction products (such as wood-truss roofing and I-joists) burn faster if they are not protected. Contemporary homes also utilize quickly grown wood, which is less fire resistant than the older wood used in homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s. That does not mean that homes today are poorly built; today's building materials tend to be stronger and protect better against mildew and weather. However, newer materials do not hold up as well against fire.

Many fires, and most fire-related injuries, are preventable. Fire requires the interaction of fuel, oxygen, and a source of ignition, and the union of these elements has been frequently a result of human behavior. Prevention can be achieved by eliminating or reducing the risk of ignition by removing the fuel from the site of potential ignition, or by altering human behavior that brings the fuel and ignition source together.

Here are a few additional safety tips:

Basics Never ignore a fire alarm Do not assume someone else has already called the fire department; once outside, call the fire department Act immediately but try to stay calm; do not panic Do not waste time getting dressed or searching for valuables Stay low in case of smoke or fumes; avoid smoke, fumes, and hot gases that may have entered If you are in bed, roll off the bed and crawl to the door Once you are out of the house, stay out; do not go back inside for any reason Home Escape Plan Create and regularly practice a family fire escape plan Ensure that all family members know two ways to escape from every room of your home Pick a place outside where your family can meet to make sure everyone is out and safe Make sure your home escape plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities

Opening Doors When Escaping From a Flre Feel the doorknob or higher on the door with the back of your hand; if it feels hot, the fire may be on the other side of the door, so keep it shut If heat and smoke come into the room, slam the door tightly, stuff clothing, towels, or newspapers in the doors cracks to keep smoke out, and use your alternate way out If the door is hot, do not open it; find a second way out, such as a window Even if the door is cool, open it slowly; stand low and to one side of the door Windows Fire won't wait. Plan your escape.

--- t,.J If you will be opening a window for your escape, be sure the other windows and door(s) in the room are tightly closed If you cannot escape through a window, hang a white sheet outside the window to alert firefighters to your presence Make sure windows are not nailed or painted shut Flre Extinguishers Do not attempt to extinguish a fire unless you are trained to do so; leave firefighting to the professionals Place a fire extinguisher on every level of the home and in the kitchen, laundry room, mechanical/electrical room, garage/

workshop. near the exit door, and near an outdoor grill Keep a fire extinguisher within reach of fireplaces and chimneys, wood stoves, and furnaces See the NRC Reporter article *us;ng Fjre Extjnguishers Safely and Effectively" for additional information Finally, as always, make sure your house number can be clearly seen from the street. If you need help, firefighters and other emergency personnel will be able to get to you and provide assistance. Finding your home especially at night can be challenging if address numbers are unreadable, hidden, unlighted, or have missing numbers, and may delay emergency responders from getting to you as quickly as possible.
