SUBJECT:
LETTER NOMINATING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF TO THE AMERICAN NUCLEAR SOCIETY LARGE LIGHT WATER REACTOR CONSENSUS COMMITTEE
Dear Ms. French,
I would like to nominate Dr. Sunil Weerakkody as an authorized U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) representative to the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Large Light Water Reactor Consensus Committee (LLWRCC). Dr. Weerakkody is being nominated to serve as NRC representative along with Dr. David Desaulniers until Dr. Desaulniers retires later this year, at which point Dr. Weerakkody will be replacing Dr. Desaulniers. This nomination will ensure an effective transition of NRC representation at the ANS LLWRCC.
In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-119, "Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities," dated January 27, 2016, the participation on a committee of an NRC-authorized representative does not connote agency agreement with, or endorsement of, decisions reached by the committee, or of standards approved and published as a result of the committees efforts. Agency representatives participating on consensus standards developing groups will, to the extent possible, ascertain the views of the agency on matters of interest and will express views that are consistent with established agency views.
However, the NRCs endorsement of these standards, if desired by the NRC, would be part of a separate activity such as incorporation by reference into rulemaking or endorsement in an NRC regulatory guide.
Correspondence should be addressed to:
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Dr. Sunil Weerakkody Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Telephone: (301) 415 - 2870 E-mail: Sunil.Weerakkody@nrc.gov March 7, 2024
M. French 2
Thank you very much for providing the NRC with the opportunity to participate in the work of your committee.
Sincerely, Michele Sampson, NRC Standards Executive Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research cc:
