the hazards of proposed or existing 

reactor facilities, to review each 

application for a construction permit or 

operating license for certain facilities 

specified in the AEA, and such other 

duties as the Commission may request. 

The AEA as amended by Public Law

Nuclear Safety Board may obtain the 

advice and recommendations of the 

ACRS. 

Membership on the Committee

reactor operations, management; 

probabilistic risk assessment; analysis of 

reactor accident phenomena; design of 

nuclear power plant structures, systems
