Dear Yeon-Ki,
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), it is my sincere pleasure to invite you to participate in the 36 th Regulatory Information Conference (RIC), being held March 12-14, 2024. This year, the RIC will be a hybrid event, with in-person attendees at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center and virtual attendees participating remotely by accessing the RIC conference platform.
As the NRC continues its transformation journey to be a modern, risk-informed regulator, we are excited to bring new innovations to the RIC! This years theme is Adapting to a Changing Landscape. We have a dynamic technical program, and to complement our session, Long-Term Operations: Meeting the Moment, we invite you to participate in person as a speaker to present your perspective on the topic. We believe your remarks will help stimulate in-depth discussions that are both informative and engaging. This session aims to highlight different types of aging degradation that may impact long-term operation and the regulatory approaches to addressing the issue.
We hope you are available and accept this invitation. To confirm your participation, we request that you complete and sign the enclosed NRC Forms 1105 and 1106, save the documents, and attach them to a confirmation email to Mark.Yoo@nrc.gov by December 29, 2023. Additional background on the NRC and RIC is provided below.
