Technical Report · Fri Feb 01 04:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5900022

This is the eighth report by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) that has been prepared in response to the Congressional requirement for an annual report on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Reactor Safety Research Program. As previously requested by the Congress, the timing of this report has been adjusted to enable the ACRS to address the proposed budget for FY 1986 and 1987 that has been submitted to the Congress by the President. Detailed comments and recommendations are provided for the research programs and budget proposed for FY 1986. Because both the budget for FY 1987 and the research programs for that period are highly uncertain at this time, comments on these are not provided. Part I is a compilation of general comments and recommendations regarding the NRC Safety Research Program budget for FY 1986. It is intended to serve as the Executive Summary. Part II is divided into five chapters, each of which represents a Decision Unit of the NRC research program. In each chapter, we have included specific comments on the research involved in the Decision Unit, an assessment of priorities, and recommendations regarding new directions and levels of funding. 10 references.
