The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is hosting a seminar, The Fuel Cycle Information Exchange 2006 (FCIX 2006), on August 30 and 31, 2006, to provide an opportunity for licensees, NRC staff, and other stakeholders to exchange information and discuss issues of interest pertaining to the regulation of NRC-regulated fuel cycle facilities.
The seminar will be held in Rockville, Maryland, at the Universities of Maryland at the Shady Grove Campus Auditorium and will be open to the public. Fuel Cycle licensees and other interested parties were previously notified of the possibility of this meeting in a letter from Robert Pierson, dated November 28, 2005, (ADAMS accession number ML053220226). In that letter, Mr. Pierson also solicited topics of discussion and volunteer speakers for the meeting. We are expecting that NRC staff, licensees and certificate holders, and other interested parties and stakeholders will be making presentations on varying subjects of interest, with opportunity for followup discussion on each subject.
The proposed items of discussion are listed below; however, the NRC is seeking additional speakers to discuss topics of a broad nature, relative to the nuclear fuel cycle. If you would like an opportunity to discuss an issue, or to offer an additional topic of discussion, please contact the staff member listed below.
