ACRS review of the 1983 NRC Safety Research Program
This article provides a review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Safety Research Program for FY 1983. The NRC Safety Research Program support funding is $196.6 million in FY 1982, and the proposed budget for FY 1983 is $195.2 million. The requested level of funding for FY 1982, recommended by the ACRS and partially accepted by the NRC, was reduced significantly by the Congress in response to the administration's budget-reduction program. At the same time, the Congress directed a delay in the timing of the LOFT phaseout. This review of the FY 1983 program again focuses on priorities in research and recommends certain reallocations of funds. If the funding for LOFT is increased from that in the proposed budget, based on the current schedule for phaseout, many of the actions recommended in this review should be reexamined.
