Agenda for the
September 12-14, 2000 Meeting of the National Materials Program Working
Group. |
| 08/03/00 |
During the NRC/OAS/CRCPD teleconference on July 20,
2000, the topic, "Review of the NRC Research Program" was discussed.
The NRC is assembling experts in government, industry and academia
to assist the NRC in its review. The group of experts will be
chaired by former NRC Commissioner Kenneth Rogers. The NRC would
also like to have State input into the role and future direction
of research efforts at NRC. The NRC plans to address this issue
in two phases. The first phase will consist of two meetings. The
first meeting is scheduled for August 16 -17, 2000 at the Marriott
Residence Inn, 7335 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD. A second meeting
is scheduled for the middle of September. During the first phase,
the group will review the following issues: 1) Vision/Mission
statement for the NRC Office of Research; 2) Emerging issues in
the area of research; and 3) Adequacy of facilities to do research.
Following the first phase, there will be an interim report and
the second phase which will review the issues. We welcome the
participation of one State representative to serve as a resource
to the group committee. The NRC will fund travel and per diem
for the State participant. The draft agenda for the
August 16-17, 2000 meeting of experts is attached. Interested
volunteers should contact Ed Bailey in California. |

The NMP working group has developed a communications
plan to provide information to stakeholders in a timely manner,
as the product is developed, to create positive stakeholder perception,
and to engage negative perceptions, dispel rumors, and reduce uncertainty.
The communications plan is intended to actively engage stakeholders
at all levels by soliciting feedback, maintaining a positive relationship
and to identify cultural transition issues for NRC, the States and
other stakeholders. The communications plan is also designed to facilitate
consideration of stakeholder comments during the development of Working
Group products. |
