- Commissioner McGaffigan FROM: Shirley Ann Jackson
, SUBJECT COMSECY-96-066, RESEARCH (DSI 22) i Based on the public comments and the stakeholder meetings, I
, recommend only a slight departure from the Commission's J preliminary decision on DSI 22 that selected a combination of 1 Options 4 (Conduct Both Confirmatory and Exploratory Research),
5 (Establishing and Maintaining Core Research Capabilities),
6 (Having University-Based Resources as a Component of the Overall NRC Research Program), and 7.(Continue to Actively )
- Participate in International Safety Programs).
I I concur with Commissioner Rogers that the research program should focus on programs with the highest safety and regulatory j significance, coupled with the maintenance of the necessary technical capability.
In addition to the international cooperative research initiatives i
and programs, the staff should explore options and opportunities
- to perform more cooperative research with other U.S. entities.. l 7
A's such I agree that legal requirements, independence and public j
- perception must be considered when exploring any cooperative j research program.
