# AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

# ACTION:

Notice of public workshop. 

# SUMMARY:

The Executive Director for Operations (EDO) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has instructed the NRC staff to resolve several issues resulting from the Independent Safety Assessment of the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station. Of the eleven items identified by the EDO, four were concerned with analytical code validation, review, documentation and compliance with generic safety evaluations. All of these issues were generic in nature and resulted in the issuance of the two draft documents for public comment that are the subject of this workshop. The public comment period for these draft documents ended on February 15, 2001. It is the purpose of the workshop to exchange information among interested parties on the two documents and the comments received. After considering all comments and information, the NRC would issue the documents in their final form as acceptable guidance to licensees and vendors and to the NRC staff for review of analytical models.
