SUBJECT:
2024 New Mexico Periodic Meeting Scheduling Letter and Agenda
Dear Ms. Miano:
In order to help the Agreement States and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) remain knowledgeable of each others program and to initiate planning for the next Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP) review, the NRC conducts one-day periodic meetings with Agreement States between IMPEP reviews.
In accordance with the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Procedure SA-116, Periodic Meetings between IMPEP Reviews, and after previous coordination with Santiago Rodriguez, we have scheduled the periodic meeting for Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 9:00 AM (MT). The meeting will be held at the Radiation Control Program office in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Based on our previous discussions, the likely topics for discussion at the meeting are listed on the enclosed agenda. If there are any additional specific topics you would like to cover, or if you would like to focus on a specific area, please let me know. If you have any questions, please call me at 817-200-1143, or via email at Randy.Erickson@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, Randy Erickson, Regional State Agreements Officer Division of Radiological Safety and Security
