SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Nuclear Energy

1998 by the U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE) to provide advice on complex 

scientific, technical, and policy issues 

that arise in the planning, managing, 

and implementation of DOE’s civilian 

nuclear energy research programs. The 

committee is composed of 16 

individuals of diverse backgrounds 

selected for their technical expertise and 

experience, established records of 

distinguished professional service, and 

their knowledge of issues that pertain to 

nuclear energy. 

Purpose of the Meeting: Introduction 

of new members to the committee; 

briefing the committee on recent 

developments and current status of 

research programs and projects pursued 

by the Department of Energy’s Office of 

Nuclear Energy; and receiving advice 

and comments in return from the 

committee. 

Tentative Agenda: The meeting is 

expected to include the introduction of 

seven new members to the Committee, 

presentations that cover such topics as 

the Office of Nuclear Energy’s 2012 

Budget and the status of Nuclear 

Energy’s Small Modular Reactor 

Program. In addition, there will be 

presentation by five Nuclear Energy 

Advisory Committee subcommittees and 

a presentation on the Nexus of Nuclear 

Power with Renewable Technology. 

Finally, Nuclear Regulatory 

Commissioner, William Magwood will 

be giving a presentation on the early
