SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing 

are tools that engage, educate and 

empower the public to apply their 

curiosity and contribute their talents to 

a wide range of scientific and societal 

issues. NASA’s mission is to reach for 

new heights and reveal the unknown so 

that what we do and learn will benefit 

all humankind. NASA uses the vantage 

point of space to achieve with the 

science community and our partners a 

deep scientific understanding of our 

planet, other planets and solar system 

bodies, the interplanetary environment, 

the Sun and its effects on the solar 

system, and the universe beyond. 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing can 

support NASA’s mission and purpose 

by providing new opportunities to 

explore our solar system and our own 

home planet like never before, 

producing critical data that expands our 

knowledge of the universe, and 

advancing our ability to provide societal 

benefit through the synergy of satellite 

and ground based observations. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Citizen science and crowdsourcing 

collections submitted under this generic 

clearance can be stand-alone projects or 

the methods may be incorporated into 

an existing or new project, including, 

but not limited to, projects in the 

following typology: 

• Data gathering projects. These 

projects may include (1) observation, 

characterization and documentation of 

natural phenomena or general 

environmental health observations, 

opinions, or preferences or (2) surveying 

participants or screening environmental 

conditions, including using specialized 

equipment provided by project leaders 

to record and submit data, or submitting 

samples plus descriptors (e.g. of air or 

water) for testing. Data may be collected 

using technologies mentioned above, 

through structured data forms, surveys, 

focus groups or interviews, submitting 

photographs or other media, surveys or 

questionnaires, or providing written 

observations. 

• Classification/problem solving 

projects. Participants’ tasks may 

include: (1) Observation of recorded 

materials provided by project organizers 

(images, video, etc.) through structured 

data submission forms, surveys or 

questionnaires in an online or computer 

program, clicking boxes, highlighting 

parts of text or image, and providing 

comments and/or annotations; (2) 

Classification of images or sounds using 

structured data submission forms or 

clicking boxes in an online or computer 

program; (3) Transcribing information, 

by typing handwritten logs or notes; (4) 

Performing a function meant to generate 

human behavior data; or (5) Problemsolving or manipulation of data. Tasks 

1–5 may be conducted via structured 

actions or instructions or through the 

use of ‘‘human-based computational 

game’’ or ‘‘game with a purpose’’, a 

human-based computational technique 

in which a computational process 

performs its function by presenting 

certain steps to humans in an 

entertaining way.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Request for Applications; Qualified 

Candidates for the Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Request for resumes. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) seeks qualified 

candidates for the Advisory Committee 

on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Submit 

resumes to Kendra Freeland and Jamila 

Perry, ACRS, Mail Stop T2E26, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, or email 

Kendra.Freeland@nrc.gov and 

Jamila.Perry@nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS 

is a part-time advisory group, which is 

statutorily mandated by the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended. ACRS 

provides independent expert advice on 

matters related to the safety of existing 

and proposed nuclear power plants and 

on the adequacy of proposed reactor 

safety standards. Of primary importance 

are the safety issues associated with the 

operation of 99 commercial nuclear 

power plants in the United States and 

regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based 

regulation, license renewal, power 

uprates, and the use of mixed oxide and 

high burnup fuels. An increased 

emphasis is being given to safety issues 

associated with new reactor designs and 

technologies, including passive system 

reliability and thermal hydraulic 

phenomena, use of digital 

instrumentation and control, 

international codes and standards used 

in multinational design certifications, 

materials, and structural engineering, 

nuclear analysis and reactor core 

performance, and nuclear materials and 

radiation protection. In addition, the 

ACRS may be requested to provide 

advice on radiation protection, 

radioactive waste management, and 

earth sciences in the agency’s licensing 

reviews for fuel fabrication and 

enrichment facilities, and for waste 

disposal facilities. The ACRS also has 

some involvement in security matters 

related to the integration of safety and 

security of commercial reactors.
