Korea 305-600 *
Dear Dr. Eun:
We recently had an opportunity to discuss the important contribution-international cooperation in nuclear regulation can make to safety, especially in research, and the lack of a permanent forum solely devoted to the interests and challenges faced by nuclear regulators worldwide. I have proposed
.j establishing an independent multilateral mechanism, an International Nuclear Regulators Forum (INRF), in which nuclear regulatory officials can exchange views, coordinate approaches and harmonize arrangements, for the safe and secure use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. -
I have accepted an invitation to make a presentation on corrent and future needs of nuclear regulatory bodies at the NEA Senior Regulators September 12 -
13, 1996 meeting'in Paris. This meeting presents an opportunity to move forward with broader, more in depth discussions.
.The. enclosed discussion paper has been' prepared for meeting participants. To provide has alsoabeen moreincluded.
concrete basis for discussion, a draft Terms of-Reference (TOR)
The TOR was prepared to focus discussion on some concrete alternatives, but should not be taken to represent any fixed views about the role'or structure of an INRF.
Your early views on the discussion paper and the TOR would be appreciated prior to the September Senior Regulators meeting.
Sincerely, b
Enclosure:
As stated
