NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


NRC Workshop on Environmentally Assisted Cracking

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES) conducts 
contract research in many technical areas to support NRC activities in 
nuclear reactor regulation. The Materials Engineering Branch of RES 
conducts a significant research effort on evaluation of environmentally 
assisted cracking (EAC) in light water reactor (LWR) systems and 
components. In FY2000, a significant extension of this program is being 
planned to provide NRC with confirmatory research which will be 
required to deal with a variety of issues for operating reactors. The 
purpose of this workshop is to inform interested stakeholders of NRC 
research plans and to receive comments and suggestions.

DATES: April 20, 2000, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

LOCATION: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Headquarters, Two White 
Flint North, Room T-10-A1, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 
20852-2738.

CONTACT: Mike McNeil, Phone: (301) 415-6794, E-mail:[email protected].

ATTENDANCE: This meeting is open to the general public.

PROGRAM: The purpose of the meeting is to solicit the views of 
stakeholders on the proposed NRC research activities in this field. The 
meeting will start with presentations by NRC staff on past NRC 
activities in this area, the regulatory pressures leading to the future 
activities, and the proposed research program. There will then be a 
period open for questions and discussion. Key NRC and contractor 
personnel will be in attendance so as to permit, insofar as possible, 
the on-the-spot resolution of questions.

    Dated in Rockville, Maryland this 2nd day of March 2000.
Michael E. Mayfield,
Acting Director, Division of Engineering Technology, Office of Nuclear 
Regulatory Research.
