is 9,000 surveys completed by 

comparison group respondents, for a 

total of 3,000 burden hours. Together, 

the total estimated survey burden for the

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Seeks 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 Ms. Makeeka Compton and 

Ms. Jamila Perry, ACRS, Mail Stop: 

T2B50, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, or email Makeeka.Compton@

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. The 

ACRS provides independent expert 

advice on matters related to the safety 

of existing and proposed nuclear reactor 

facilities and on the adequacy of 

proposed reactor safety standards. Of 

primary importance are the safety issues 

associated with the operation of 

commercial nuclear power plants in the 

United States and regulatory initiatives, 

including risk-informed 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. See the NRC 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/advisory/acrs.html for 

additional information about the ACRS. 

Criteria used to evaluate candidates 

include education and experience, 

demonstrated skills in nuclear reactor 

safety matters, the ability to solve 

complex technical problems, and the 

ability to work collegially on a board, 

panel, or committee. The Commission, 

in selecting its Committee members, 

also considers the need for specific 

expertise to accomplish the work 

expected to be before the ACRS. ACRS 

Committee members are appointed for 

four-year terms with no term limits. The 

Commission looks to fill one vacancy as 

a result of this request. Candidates for 

this position must have extensive 

experience in nuclear fuel cycle 

chemistry, structural integrity, and/or 

metallurgy applicable to nuclear 

facilities and/or nuclear power plant 

systems or components. It would be 

useful if candidates also have 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 8, 2021 / Notices 50381 

experience in seismic analysis. The 

candidates must also have at least 20 

years of education and experience and 

a distinguished record of achievement 

in one or more areas of nuclear science 

and technology or related engineering 

disciplines. Candidates with pertinent 

graduate level experience will be given 

additional consideration. 

Consistent with the requirements of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

the Commission seeks candidates with 

diverse backgrounds, so that the 

membership on the Committee is fairly 

balanced in terms of the points of view 

represented and functions to be 

performed by the Committee. 

Candidates will undergo a thorough 

security background check to obtain the 

security clearance that is mandatory for 

all ACRS members. The security 

background check will involve the 

completion and submission of 

paperwork to the NRC. 

Candidates for ACRS appointment 

may be involved in or have financial 

interests related to NRC-regulated 

aspects of the nuclear industry. 

However, because conflict-of-interest 

considerations may restrict the 

participation of a candidate in ACRS 

activities, the degree and nature of any 

such restriction on an individual’s 

activities as a member will be 

considered in the selection process. 

Each qualified candidate’s financial 

interests must be reconciled with 

applicable Federal and NRC rules and 

regulations prior to final appointment. 

This might require divestiture of 

securities or discontinuance of certain 

contracts or grants. Information 

regarding these restrictions will be 

provided upon request. As a part of the 

Stop Trading on Congressional 

Knowledge Act of 2012, which bans 

insider trading by members of Congress, 

their staff, and other high-level federal 

employees, candidates for appointments 

will be required to disclose additional 

financial transactions. 

A resume describing the educational 

and professional background of each 

candidate, including any special 

accomplishments, publications, and 

professional references should be 

provided. Candidates should provide 

their current address, telephone 

number, and email address. All 

candidates will receive careful 

consideration. Appointment will be 

made without regard to factors such as 

race, color, religion, national origin, sex, 

age, or disabilities. Candidates must be 

citizens of the United States and be able 

to devote approximately 100 days per 

year to Committee business, but may not 

be compensated for more than 130 

calendar days. As a part of ACRS’ 

transformative practice, appointees may 

be able to virtually devote some of the 

130 days to Committee business. 

Resumes will be accepted until 

December 7, 2021.
