20a. How do es th e Co mmitt ee accomp li sh its purpo se?

The Committee reports to and provides the Commission independent review of and advice on technical matters related to nuclear waste management. The bases of ACNW review s include 10 CFR Parts 20, 40, SO, 60, 61, 63, 71, and 72, and other applicable regulations and legislative mandates. The ACNW undertake s studie s and a ctivities related to the transportation, storage, and di s posal of high-and low-level radioactive waste, including the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel; materials safety; decommissioning; application of risk-informed and p e rformance based regulation s ; and evaluation of licensing documents, rules, regulatory guidance, and other is s ues, as requested by the Commission. The Committee interacts with representatives of the public, NRC, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, other Federal agencies, State and local agencies, Native American Nations, and private, international, and other affected organizations as appropriate to fulfill its responsibilities. The Committee issues written reports, providing advice to the Commission on matter s within its scope of responsibilities and meets periodically with the Commissioners in public meetings to discuss issues of mutual interest. The focus of the ACNW work during FY 2006 has been on low-level radioactive waste, the proposed high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, on issues related to the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, and on wa ste determinations in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2005. The ACNW members are chosen for their technical expertise relevant to waste management is s ues important to the Commission.

Consultants are used on occasion to augment the expertise of the A CNW members in specific areas. The Committee has a full-time staff that provides technical support, administrative services, and assures compliance with FACA requirements. ACNW working groups, comprised of ACNW members and consultants with the appropriate expertise, are used on occasion to address specific technical issues in depth. These working groups hold public meetings, and their activities are also conducted under FACA requirements. Stakeholder participation in ACNW meetings is encouraged and routinely occurs. ACNW meeting agenda, meeting transcripts, and letter reports are available for downloading or viewing on the Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html or http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/. The ACNW issues an Action Plan for Commission approval and conducts a self-assessment which includes the use of extensive stakeholder input. The ACNW conducts ongoing reviews of its plans and schedules to ensure that it properly addresses regulatory matters within its scope of responsibilitie s and that its schedules are consistent with the needs of its stakeholders. Input from the Commission, the NRC staff, and affected stakeholders is used in this process. A Memorandum of Understanding with the NRC staff provide s a framework for interactions between the ACNW and the staff.

20b. How doe s the Commi tt ee ba lance its member ship ?

The Commi ss ion appoints ACNW members with the scientific and engineering expertise needed to address the waste management issues of importance to the Commission. Members are s ought who can provide an independent h ttps :/ /www. fi do. gov /facadataba se/rptann ualreport. a sp 11/07/2006 Annual Report Page 3 of 4 perspective on waste management issues, and who possess outstanding scientific and technical ability, balanced --*

and mature judgment, and a willingness to devote the time required to carry out the timely completion of the Committee's work. Members are appointed for 4-year terms and, absent unusual circumstances, do not serve more than two terms. Members are reappointed at the end of a 4-year term only if there is a compelling continuing need for their expertise. Vacancies in the ACNW membership are filled from the pool of applicants which exists after solicitations of interest are published in the Federal Register, trade and professional society publications, and the press. Recommendations to the Commission as to the selection of qualified candidates from this pool are made by the ACNW Member Candidate Screening Panel. The ACNW members normally provide input to this Panel. The diversity of viewpoints represented by current members is based on special fields of interest, professional experience, and technical expertise. These member attributes provide the Committee with the balance of highly qualified technical expertise and diverse perspectives necessary to effectively carry out the Committee's statutory requirements. At the end of FY 2006, the Committee included two members from academia (one retired), two members from a national laboratory (one retired), and one member from private industry. During FY 2006, the ACNW included members experienced in radioactive waste management, chemistry, health physics, nuclear engineering, risk assessment, environmental engineering, performance assessment, research, and technical management. There has been a systematic effort to obtain members with backgrounds that can address the difficult and diverse questions associated with radioactive waste management. This concentration of the relevant scientific proficiency within the Committee, together with a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives, provides assurance that adequate, independent, and open discussion and analysis of the potential hazards associated with the management of nuclear waste can take place.

20c. How fre qu ent and re levan t are the Comm ittee meet ings?

Normally, all ACNW members meet 8 to 9 times a year for 2-3 days in Committee meetings. In FY 2006, the ACNW held 9 Committee meetings. The number of meetings held is directly related to the scope of NRC's efforts on the high-level waste geologic repository and other issues involving waste management; the number of criteria, guides, and technical positions referred to the ACNW for review and comment; the number of special reviews requested by the NRC staff; and the number of important topics of concern to the Committee and its stakeholders.

The ACNW Action Plan for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2006 formed the basis for the selection of issues to be addressed during its 2006 meetings. The written reports that contain the ACNW's advice are issued during Committee meetings. When resources are available, the ACNW holds working group meetings on particularly complex issues.

At these meetings, additional time and expertise can be used in support of understanding the technical details of any issues under the Committee's consideration. Reviews are conducted during each Committee meeting to assess the relevance of proposed topics, resource needs, and the priority of each activity. These as sessments have the benefit of input from the Commission, NRC's Executive Director for Operations (EDO), and other stakeholders.

The A CNW also conducts a self-assessment once every 2 years. These self assessments involve collection of input from various stakeholders. This information is used to assess the relevance of ACNW activities. All ACNW meetings for this reporting period addressed matters delineated in the ACNW's Action Plan, specific requests from either the Commission or the EDO, or other important regulatory matters within the scope of the responsibilities.

20 d. Wh y ca n't the advice or informa ti on this comm ittee provides be obtained e lsew here?

The ACNW is a body of recognized experts in the field of nuclear waste management whose mandate is to provide independent advice to the Commission. The ACNW provides the public assurance that an independent technical review and evaluation of nuclear waste safety issue s is accomplished and that there will be an opportunity for public input. Decisions relating to waste management that are expected to be before the Commission include the licensing of the proposed Yucca Mountain high-level waste repository, the West Valley Demonstration Project and West Valley Site and other site decommissionings, nuclear reactor decommissioning, and low-level waste management. The Commission has its own expert staff of NRC employees on whom it relies in its day-to-day operations. However, the Commission has no other advisory committee with the broadly based expertise of the ACNW that could be called upon for independent and informed assessment of safety issues related to high-and low-level waste management. In addition, since members are part-time advisors with other interests and activities in related fields, they provide breadth of experience, independent perspective on issues, and technical knowledge that is not duplicated by the NRC staff. The ACNW provides the Commission with an independent critical review of high-level regulatory issues under consideration by the NRC and independent technical insights on important matters needing Commission attention. In addition, a standing committee such as the ACNW, supported by a technical staff, remains currently informed with respect to nuclear waste issues of importance to the Commission, including NRC-sponsored safety research. It provides an informed, collegial judgment regarding these issues that would not be obtained by use of individual part-time consultants on a case-by-case basis.

20e. Why is it necessa ry to cl ose and/or part iall y c lose comm ittee mee tin gs?

During FY 2006, the Committee held 9 Full Committee meetings. Of these 9 meetings, one meeting was partially closed to discuss information that involves internal personnel rules and/or practices [5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2)]. As a practice, almost all Committee meetings are open.

20a. How does th e Comm ittee accomp lish its purpose?

The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) reports to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and provides the Commission with independent reviews of, and advice on, the safety of proposed or existing NRC licensed reactor facilities and the adequacy of applicable safety standards. The ACRS was established as a statutory committee by a 1957 amendment to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. With the enactment of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, the licensing functions of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) were transferred intact from the AEC to the NRC. The ACRS has continued in the same advisory role to the NRC with its responsibilities changing with the needs of the Commission. Some A CRS tasks are mandated by statute or regulation, some are in response to direction by the Commission, or requests from the NRC staff, or other stakeholders, and some are self initiated in response to ACRS concerns on important regulatory and safety-related matters. The ACRS, upon request from the Department of Energy (DOE), provides advice on the safety of U.S.

naval reactor designs. Upon request, the ACRS also provides technical advice to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The ACRS and its Subcommittees meet regularly in public, Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)-regulated meetings, to review matters within the scope of its responsibilities. ACRS meeting agenda, meeting transcripts, and letter reports are available for downloading or viewing on the Internet at https ://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/rptannualreport.asp 11/07/2006 Annual Report Page 4 of 5

http ~//www,9rc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html or http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/. The ACRS and its Subcommittees held 39 meetings during FY 2006, including 10 Full Committee meetings that were attended by all ACRS members. The ACRS members are chosen for their technical expertise relevant to the safety issues important to the Commission. Consultants are used on occasion to augment the expertise of the ACRS members.

The Committee has a full-time staff that provides technical support and administrative services in compliance with FACA requirements. ACRS Subcommittees normally consist of three to six ACRS members with the expertise needed to review in detail the regulatory and safety issues and to formulate proposed positions and actions, as appropriate, for deliberation by the Full Committee. Stakeholders' participation in ACRS meetings is encouraged and routinely occurs. The Committee's advice, in the form of written reports, is only produced by the Full Committee, and reports on significant regulatory matters are discussed with the Commission in public meetings.

The ACRS conducts an ongoing review of its priorities and schedules to ensure that regulatory matters within its scope of responsibilities are being properly addressed and within its resources, and timely advice is provided to the Commission. Input from the Commission, the NRC staff, and affected stakeholders is used in this process. A Memorandum of Understanding with the NRC Executive Director for Operations (EDO) provides a framework for NRC staff interaction with the ACRS. The ACRS conducts formal self-assessments to improve its effectiveness and efficiency. A report is provided to the Commission on the outcome of those assessments. The focus of the ACRS work during FY 2006 was on license renewal applications, power uprate applications, early site permit applications, pre-application review of the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor design, including application of the TRACG Code to analyze ESBWR stability, Generic Letters, Regulatory Guides, Standard Review Plan sections, digital instrumentation and control system research plan, safety culture, fire protection issues, human factors, resolution of certain generic safety issues, quality assessment of selected NRC research projects, pressurized water reactor sump performance, safeguards and security matters, thermal-hydraulic codes, and the NRC safety research program.

20b. How does the Co mm i tt ee ba la nce its members hi p?

The Commission appoints ACRS members with the scientific and engineering expertise needed to address the safety issues of importance to the Commission. Members are sought who can provide an independent perspective on nuclear safety issues, outstanding scientific and technical ability, balanced and mature judgment, and a willingness to devote the time required to the demanding work involved. Members are appointed for 4-year terms and, absent unusual circumstances, do not serve more than three terms. Members are reappointed at the end of a 4-year term only if there is a compelling continuing need for their expertise. Vacancies in the ACRS membership are filled from the pool of applicants which exists after solicitations of interest are published in the Federal Register, trade and professional society publications, and in the press. Recommendations to the Commission as to the selection of qualified candidates from this pool are made by the ACRS Member Candidate Screening Panel and the Committee. During FY 2006, the membership was comprised of individuals with diverse employment backgrounds and included those with expertise in the areas of nuclear power plant operations; probabilistic risk assessment; analysis of severe reactor accident phenomena; design of nuclear power plant structures, systems, and components; chemical engineering; materials and metallurgy; and thermal-hydraulics and computational fluid.

dynamics. The diversity of viewpoints represented by current members is based on special fields of interest, employment experience, and technical expertise. These member attributes provide the Committee with the balance of highly qualified technical expertise and diverse safety perspectives necessary to carry out the Committee's statutory responsibilities effectively.

20c. How fr equ e nt a nd re leva nt are th e Committ ee mee tings?

The ACRS and its Subcommittees held 49 meetings during FY 2006, of which 10 were Full Committee meetings.

The number of meetings held in a reporting period is directly related to the number of nuclear safety matters to be reviewed as required by statute; the number of rules and regulatory guidance referred to the Committee for review and comment; the number of special reviews requested by the Commission, EDO, or other Federal Government organizations; and other safety issues of particular concern to the Committee and its stakeholders.

The Full Committee meets 10 times a year, normally for 3 days, to consider important safety-related nuclear issues, generic issues, significant regulatory matters, rules, and regulatory guidance. The ACRS Subcommittees, which are normally comprised of three to six members with the relevant expertise, meet as necessary with stakeholders to conduct in-depth reviews of particular matters for later consideration by the full membership during Full Committee meetings. Although not required by the revised FACA, Subcommittee meetings are conducted under the same FACA procedures as the Full Committee meetings to facilitate public participation and to provide a forum for stakeholders to express their views on regulatory matters being considered by the ACRS.

Reviews are conducted during each Full Committee meeting to assess the relevance of proposed review topics, resource needs, and the priority of each activity. These assessments have the benefit of input from the Commission, EDO, and other stakeholders. The self-assessment conducted by the ACRS for its CY 2005 activities involved collection of input from various stakeholders. This information was used to assess the relevance of ACRS activities.

All ACRS meetings for this reporting period addressed either matters for which ACRS review was required by statute or regulation, specific requests from either the Commission or the EDO, or other important regulatory and safety-related matters self-initiated in response to ACRS concerns.

20d. Wh y ca n't th e ad v ic e or inform ation th is co mmitt ee pro v id es be o bt a in ed el sew here?

The ACRS is an independent body of recognized experts in the field of nuclear reactor safety whose Congressional mandate is to provide the Commission with independent advice. Particular duties of the ACRS (e.g., review of operating reactor license renewal applications, extended core power uprates, advanced reactor designs, safeguards https://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/rptannualreport.asp 11/07/2006 Annual Report Page 5 of 5 and.securit, issues, and rules and regulations) are dictated by statute or regulation. In addition, functional arrangements exist wherein, upon request, the ACRS provides advice on Naval reactor designs, the Department of Energy, and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The Commission has its own expert staff on whom it relies in the day-to-day regulation of nuclear power facilities. The ACRS provides the Commission and the NRC staff with an independent, critical review of high-level regulatory issues under consideration by the NRC and independent technical insights as to important matters needing Commission attention. The A CRS members are part-time special government employees with other full-time interests and activities in related fields, and provide a breadth of experience, an independent perspective on issues, and technical knowledge that is not duplicated by the NRC's full -time government employees. A standing Committee such as the ACRS remains current with respect to nuclear safety issues of importance to the NRC, including those related to reactor operating experience, regulatory reform, and NRC's needs for safety research, and provides an independent, collegial judgment regarding these issues that other part-time consultants could not provide. The ACRS meetings provide an important forum to stakeholders to express freely their concerns on safety issues and regulatory process. A number of important safety initiatives have had their origins in ACRS deliberations. Through the ACRS, the public and the Congress are ensured of an independent technical review and evaluation of the safety of NRC-licensed reactor facilities, proposed reactor designs, significant regulatory and significant safety issues, and of providing an opportunity for stakeholder input.

20e. Wh y is it necessary to clo se and/or partially clo se committ ee meetings' During this period, the Committee held 10 full Committee meetings. Of these 10 meetings, 3 meetings were partially closed to discuss information classified as national security information (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(l) and (3).

20a. Ho w does th e Committ ee accompli s h it s purpo se?

The NRC staff believes that licensees, the general public, and medical professionals benefit when recognized experts provide advice to the staff. This advice enables staff to develop rules that will maintain public safety, while h ttps :/ /www.fido.gov/facadatabase/rptann ualreport.asp 11/08/2006 Annual Report Page 2 of 2

not inappropriatel y intruding upon the practice of medicine. The Staff provides a summary of issues to be addre ssed during meetings, and the ACMUI discusses the issues and gives advice and makes recommendations to the Staff. Furthermore, the A CMUI keeps staff abreast of new developments. This ongoing communication helps ensure that staff is aware of important issues during critical stages rule development. When issues that need special emphasis arise, working groups and subcommittees are formed.

20b. How d oes th e Commi tt ee ba lance it s m em b ership ?

Membership is balanced by placing individuals of diverse specialty on the committee. For instance, there are members who represent both diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medicine. There are members who have a regulatory.function within their specialties. There is a member who represents medicine from an administrative standpoint, and there is a patient advocate member, who represents patients' interests. ACMUI members also perform regular self-evaluations, in which they give feedback on the appropriateness of the committee's composition.

20c. How fr eq uen t an d re levan t are th e Co mmitt ee m eetin gs?

Committee meetings are generally held semi-annually. The committee will hold more frequent meetings when important issues emerge, or when issues need timely resolution.

20d. Why can' t th e adv ice or info rm atio n thi s comm itt ee pro v id es be obt ai ned e lsewhere?

NRC continues to strive to achieve its goal of creating risk-informed, performance-based regulations that provide for the health and safety of the public while imposing no unnecessary burden on licensees. Furthermore, the medical profession continues to see regular advances that create unique regulatory challenges. The advice and recommendations from medical professionals who are exposed to these advances is crucial to the NRC staff's ability to continue to regulate effectively.

20e. Wh y is it necessary to close and/or part ia ll y close commi tt ee m ee t in gs ?

Meetings are closed to conduct annual ethics briefings, conduct reviews of paperwork of a personal and confidential nature, and to discuss administrative matters that are purely internal to Committee business. It would be inappropriate to conduct these types of meetings openl y. They must be conducted privatel y to allow Committee members the freedom to ask and an s wer personal questions and to protect individuals' privacy.

20a. Ho w do es th e Co mmitt ee accompli sh it s purpos e?

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has relied on the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP) for advice and recommendations on the design and operation of the searchable electronic database (Licensing Support Network (LSN)) for documents that are relevant to the licensing of a geologic repository for the storage of high level nuclear waste as defined in 10 CFR 2.1003. The document collection contains electronic copies of all of the material that will be used by parties in the NRC's licensing proceeding for a high level radioactive waste repository. The LSN is in operation, it has been loaded with more than 3 million documents begining in FY-2004 and continuing through FY -2006. While documents were added to the LSN during FY-2006, no committee meetings have been held since December 2003. DOE had planned on submitting an application to build a high level waste disposal facility at Yucca Mountain, Nevada in December 2004, however delays occured and in the spring of 2006 DOE issued a revised schedule. DOE now expects to certify their LSN document collection by December 21, 2007 and submit a License application to the NRC by June 30, 2008. While the delay in DOE's program has negated any need for LSN meetings at this time, it is expected that the Comittee will be needed when the proceeding becomes active.

20b. How do e s th e Committee bal ance its membership?

The membership of the LSNARP is balanced by being drawn from among the full spectrum of potential parties to NRC's anticipated licensing proceeding for the burial of high level radioactive waste. Since the burial site under review is in Nevada, the membership includes the State of Nevada, local county governments of both Nevada and California, Indian tribes (represented by the National Congress of American Indians), and an environmental group (the Nevada Nuclear Waste Task Force). It also includes the nuclear industry, the potential licensee (DOE) and the licensing agency (NRC). Input by these representatives is essential to the success of the LSN project.

20c. How frequ e nt and rele va nt are the Committee meetings ?

The full LSNARP did not meet during FY-2005 and FY-2006. The LSN Administrator held several training https://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/rptannualreport.asp 11/07/2006 Annual Report Page 2 of 2

ses; ions for users of the LSN and met with individual representatives of the potential parties to the HL W proceeding to assist in their setting up local document repositorie s that could be accessed by the LSN. It is expected that meetings of the full LSNARP will be held closer to DOE's scheduled submission of an application for the HLW facility. Additional drivers for meetings will be the need to upgrade the LSN software in the FY-2008 - FY-2009time frame and the operation of the Electronic Hearing Docket (EHD) during the Licensing Proceeding.

20 d. W hy ca n 't th e advice or infom1a t ion this comm ittee prov ides be obtaine d elsewhe re' The advice provided by the state, county and tribal governmental units, together with other potential users of the LSN and EHD, is unique to this particular computer application. It is not available from other existing committees or within the NRC itself. NRC considers it essential that advice on the design of the software and hardware should come from representatives of the future hands-on users of the LSN.

20e. W hy is it necessary lo close and/or pa rti a ll y cl ose co mm i tt ee meet in gs?

The LSSARP did not hold any closed meetings in FY 2006.
