UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORYCX>MMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTOH. Q. C. 20555 The Honorable Nunzio J. Palladino Chairman June 7, 1982 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Canmission Washington. DC 20555
Dear Dr. Palladino:
Subject:
PROCEDURES FOR JiCRS REVIEW Of THE NRC LONG-RANGE RESEARCH PLAN During the ACRS meeting with the Commissioners on June 4, 1982, you asked that we summarize our vie\lG on the prepzration of an annual ACRS report on the Long-Range Research Plan {LRRP).
r.,e memorandum from S. Chil k, SECY, to W. J. Dircks, ED0, (CO~JA 80-13) date:I April 22, 1980 indicated that we should review and comment on an update:I LRRP in February of each year.
Accordingly, the first ACRS report, issu:d April 14, 1981, was on the draft LRRP for FY 1983-FY 1987 {NUREG-0740).
Your letter of December 10, 1981 confirmed your interest in receiving J::RS convnents on the LRRP, and we issued our second report on April 5, 1982, on the draft LRRP for FY 1984-FY 1988 (NUREG-0784).
We have found the LRRP to be useful ; hcwever, the review of the LRRP has
- involved considerable effcrt for both !IS and the NRC Staff. This effort is in addition to that ir.*,olved in our annual reports on the NRC safety research program and budge! to the Co1T111ission and the Congress.
We propose that we discontinue our forn,!l report to the Convni ssion on the LRRP.
However, we expect to continue to receive the LRRP, both in draft and final form, and we exp:ct to utilize it in our review of and report on the NRC Safety Research Program and Eudget for the Commission and the Congress.
We would be pleased to have your comnents on this proposed change in procedures.
Sincerely.
P. She-.non Chainnan 3506
