# Experts' Meeting on High-Burnup Fuel Behavior Under Postulated Accident Conditions
**AGENCY:**
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
**ACTION:**
Notice of meeting.
**SUMMARY:**
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a meeting to further develop a Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (PIRT) for loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs). PIRTs have been used at NRC since 1988, and they provide a structured way to obtain a technical understanding that is needed to address certain issues. About twenty of the world's best technical experts are participating in this activity, and the experts represent a balance between industry, universities, foreign researchers, and regulatory organizations. The current PIRT activity is addressing postulated LOCAs for a BWR and a PWR.
**DATES:**
July 25-27, 2000, 8:30 am-5:30 pm.
**ADDRESSES:**
Room T10A1 (TWFN) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The meeting agenda will be posted on the NRC Web site at www.nrc.gov/RES/meetings.htm by July 17, 2000. The meeting is open to the public. Attendees will need to obtain a visitor badge at the TWFN building lobby.
