ACCOMPLISHMENTS 5

A.

LEGISLATION, REGULATIONS, GUIDELINES OR AGENCY RULES PROPOSED, ELIMINATED OR CHANGED AS A RESULT OF COMMITTEE DELIBERATIONS OR ADVICE The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), established in 1957 by statute, accomplishes its purposes by reviewing and reporting on safe-ty studies and facility license applications referred to it; advising the NRC and the Congress on any potential hazards of proposed or existing nuclear power plants, and spent fuel reprocessing and storage facilities and the adequacy of proposed safety standards; and performing such other duties as the Commission or the Congress may request.

The Committee conducts an annual review of the NRC Reactor Safety Research Program and reports to the Congress on the status of this program.

The ACRS also reviews DOE nuclear facilities when requested by the Department of Energy.

The full Committee normally meets once a month for a three-day session to consider projects, generic and special reviews, and criteria and regula-tory guides that are ready for full Committee consideration.

ACRS subcom-mittees meet as necessary with the license applicant, NRC Staff, and others to develop information for the Committee on the particular matter under review and to identify those matters warranting particular attention by the full Committee. There were 94 subcommittee meetings in FY 1983.

The Committee's report on applications for facility licenses, and on other matters, become a part of the record and are made available to the public, except for privileged or security material.

B.

SIGNIFICANT SERVICE DELIVERY OR COST REDUCTIONS RESULTING FROM COMMITTEE ADVICE There is a significant need for the ACRS because it provides for an in-dependent review of the potential hazards of proposed and existing U.S.

nuclear facilities and of proposed and existing nuclear safety standards and, therefore, provides protection for the public in the uses of nuclear technology and materials.

The frequent meetings of the ACRS provide an opportunity for the public to observe and participate in the regulatory process, and the Committee's reports provide a mechanism to inform the public and the Congress of the findings of an independent group of experts knowledgeable in reactor safety matters.

The compelling need for the Committee is supported by the findings of the Presidential Commission on the TMI-2 Incident (Kemeny Commission) which concluded that the Corrmittee should be retained, and strengthened, to continue providing an independent technical check on safety matters.

C.

OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE AGENCY FROM COMMITTEE DELIBERATIONS OR ADVICE The ACRS reports and recommendations to the Commission have been used extensively in NRC policy formulation and decision making since

U. s. Nuclear Regulatory Conmission 1983 Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards SECTION E - COMMITTEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND JUSTIFICATION

24. ACCOMPLISI-NENTS C.

Continued 6

establishment of the agency on January 19, 1975.

In those cases where a license application is submitted under Section 103 or designated facili-ties under Section 104 of the Atomic Energy Act, an ACRS report is re-quired by statute.

In each such case, the NRC Staff, following the receipt of an ACRS report, prepares a supplemental safety evaluation report which outlines in detail the actions the NRC Staff has or is taking to carry out the ACRS recommendations.

These reports are entered into the public docket file for each facility case so they are available for use by parties to NRC licensing proceedings.

On several occasions, substantive restrictions and/or requirements have been imposed by the NRC on nuclear facility operations, including power level limitations, augmented test programs, and added engineered safety features, based on the recommendations of the Committee.

Specific atten-tion is given to ACRS recommendations with respect to other generic or selected safety issues and appropriate action is implemented by the NRC Staff. Additionally, ACRS recommendations are implemented in regulations, guides and regulatory policies and practices promulgated by the Commis-sion.

For example, proposed NRC regulatory guides developed for power reactors are not published for public comment until the comments of a designated ACRS subcom~ittee are taken in account.

The final guide is not promulgated for use until the ACRS has concurred. Other types of regulatory guides are referred to the Co11111ittee on a selective basis by NRC.

The action taken to implement specific ACRS recommendations regarding an individual licensing application is published in an NRC Staff Supple-mentary Safety Evaluation Report for consideration at the related public licensing hearing.

In addition, the status of ACRS reconmendations, comments, and questions is monitored on a periodic basis using a detailed report to the ACRS from the NRC Staff relating point by point what Staff action has been taken or is planned on each ACRS recommendation.

In addition, frequent status and final reports regarding resolution of ACRS comments and recommendations are given during monthly ACRS meetings and recorded in the minutes of these meetings.

In the event the ACRS con-siders NRC Staff action inadequate with respect to its recommendations, a mechanism is available to bring these matters directly to the attention of the Commissioners.

With regard to the development of proposed regulatory guides and criteria, the ACRS subconmittee and full Conmittee meetings provide a public forum where the opinion of interested technical groups or individuals and members of the public may be presented.

In the area of reactor safety research, the ACRS annually examines the thrust and funding of the overall NRC safety research program and conducts

24. ACCOMPLISHMENTS C.

Continued 7

in-depth discussions of the effectiveness of the eight major NRC research decision units and subelements.

The conclusions of these reviews are reported to the Congress as mandated by Public Law 95-209.

These con-clusions are considered by Congress in the authorization of the NRC safety research budget.

In addition, the Commissioners have requested and the Committee provides a separate report on the NRC's proposed re-search budget prior to action on the budget by the Commission.

The ACRS recently provided testimony to the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment regarding the NRC authorization for its FY 1984 and 1985 Reactor Safety Research Budget and on other budget matters.

In the area of policy formulation, the ACRS often suggests initiation of staff studies and participates in the formulation of technical policy on important safety issues. The Committee's overall knowledge and advice with respect to the resolution of specific safety issues and generic issues is useful to the Commission both in decision making for individual cases and in program planning for the NRC Staff's resources. Addition-ally, the Committee's continuing review of both industrial and governmen-tal research programs provides the valuable perspective of an independent body of technical experts with respect to the scope and content of the program and the assignment of priorities to individual research efforts.

25. JUSTIFICATION A.

DESCRIBE THE BALANCE OF MEMBERSHIP IN TERMS OF POINTS OF VIEW REPRESENTED AND FUNCTIONS PERFORMED The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, on the basis of the technical review functions outlined in the statutory mission of the Committee, appoints ACRS members from the scientific and engineering disciplines with three prerequisites in mind:

outstanding scientific and technical ability, balanced and mature judgment, and willingness to devote the time required (approximately 130 days each year) to the demanding work involved.

The pool of persons so qualified is limited.

At the end of September 1983, the Committee included eight members from academic institutions, one employee of a national laboratory and five members who have retired from active employment with nuclear and non-nuclear backgrounds.

There has been a conscious effort to obtain members trained in both nuclear and the non-nuclear disciplines who have had considerable experience in various fields needed to evaluate proposed construction and operation of nuclear power plants and related facilities. This permits and fosters a concentration within the Committee of scientific and engineering profi-ciency, together with a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives, which provides assurance that adequate, independent open discussion and analysis of the potential hazards of nuclear reactors and the adequacy of safety standards can take place.

25. JUSTIFICATION A.

Continued 8

During FY 1983, the membership included those experienced in radioactive waste management, chemical processing of spent reactor fuel, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, materials engineer-ing, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, reactor operations, heat transfer and fluid flow, reactor physics and probabilistic analysis.

Anticipated membership needs include individuals knowledgeable in the areas noted above with increased emphasis on quantitative risk assessment experience.

To provide for public involvement in the nominating process for ACRS me~-

bers, the NRC issues public announcements soliciting nominees when va-cancies arise. In the past, a large number of nominations have been re-ceived from the public, including organizations such as public interest groups and technical societies, and we expect this interest to continue when future vacancies are announced.

Further, the diversity of viewpoints presently represented by current ACRS members is broadly based from the standpoint of special fields of interest, employment experience and sci-entific or technical specialty. These membership characteristics provide the Committee with a balance of highly qualified technical experts in the nuclear and non-nuclear fields necessary to carry out the Conrnittee's statutory requirements.

B.

DESCRIBE THE FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS AND THE RELEVANCE TO CONTINUING THE COMMITTEE The ACRS, its subcommittees and working groups held 108 meetings during FY 1983.

The number of meetings held is directly related to the number of reactor projects referred by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to the Committee for review; the number of generic issues which arose during the year; the number of criteria and guides referred to the Committee for re-view and comment; the number of DOE and DOD reactor projects referred; and the number of special reviews requested by the NRC and Congress.

The full Committee normally meets once a month for a three-day session to consider projects, generic and special reviews, and criteria and regula-tory guides that are ready for full Committee consideration.

ACRS sub-committees meet as necessary with license applicants, NRC Staff, and others to develop information for the Conrnittee on the particular matters under review and to identify those matters warranting particular atten-tion by the full Conmittee. If the Committee is to continue to meet the requirements of the statute which established it, and the later additions and amendments, it will need to continue to meet at a similar frequency in the future.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1983 Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards SECTION E - COMMITTEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND JUSTIFICATION

25. JUSTIFICATION 9

C.

EXPLAIN WHY THE ADVICE OR INFORMATION CANNOT BE OBTAINED FROM OTHER SOURCES As established by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards is an independent organization which is mandated to perform certain specific functions and provide advice to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with regard to the potential hazards of proposed or existing nuclear facilities and the adequacy of proposed reactor standards.

The Committee is unique in that there exists no comparable body composed of acknowledged experts in the field of nuclear reactor safety whose Congressional mandatT]is to provide the Commission with independent advice in this area.

The Commission necessarily has its own expert staff on whom it relies in the day-to-day regulation of nuclear power facilities.

However, there is no other advisory commit-tee, either within the Commission or in other agencies with the current, broadly based knowledge of the ACRS which could be called upon for independent assessmeAts of reactor safety issues.

In addition, since ACRS members are primarly part-time advisors with other full-time interests and activities in related fields, they bring to bear in an organized manner a breadth of experience and current technical knowledge which would be difficult to duplicate with full-time government employees.

A continuing committee such as the ACRS also remains current with respect to nuclear safety issues, including related reactor operating experience and safety research, and provides a collegial judgment regarding these issues that would be impossible to duplicate by use of individual, part-time consultants on a case-by-case basis.

Through the ACRS, the public and the Congress are provided assurance that an independent technical review and evaluation of nuclear reactor projects and safety issues is accomplished and an opportunity for public input during ACRS meetings is assured.

D.

EXPLAIN ANY DUPLICATION OF EFFORT WITH OTHER COMMITTEES WITHIN THE AGENCY, OR WITH OTHER AGENCIES As noted above, ACRS efforts are not duplicated by other committees or

[1] The Kemeny Commission recommended that the Committee members continue as part-time appointees and stated their belief that the independence and high quality of the members might be compromised by making them full-time Federal employees.

u. s. Nuclear Regulatory Conmission 1983 Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards SECTION E - COMMITTEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND JUSTIFICATION
25. JUSTIFICATION D.

Continued 10 agencies within the government.

However, due to the independent nature of the Conmittee's statutory responsibilities, the ACRS review and that of its consultants does duplicate, to some degre~, as intended by law, some aspects of the NRC Staff's review of applications for nuclear power facility licenses and of the monitoring of operating reactors.

In this regard, the ACRS effort provides an independent check of NRC regulatory activities which is largely directed at new and improved reactor safety features, an exploration of the basis for NRC Staff decisions as they relate to reactor safety, and assurance that all factors that could en-danger the public health and safety have been adequately considered in making licensing decisions.

No formal reports were submitted.

The Committee provided advice and consultation on 16 applications relating to personnel qualifications and to the human use of radioactive materials The individual members' comments are included in the license file for each case.

The Committee also provided advice on two proposed rule changes; see 24A.

20.E. A maximum of eight members could be compensated.

The staff is determining whether all of the current non-federal members are willing to serve without compensation.

22.A. {l) The estimate for FY 1984 was prepared on a worst case basis (see 20.E.) assuming that all eight non-federal members will be compensated.

The entry for the current fiscal year is based on vouchers submitted up to 10-12-83; additional vouchers may be received for work done in FY 1983 but the staff does not expect that these will exceed $250.
