Abstract

This report provides the input received from a 17-member Panel of Experts on the role and future direction of nuclear regulatory research. Membership on the panel was comprised of representatives from Congress, government, industry, universities, private consultants, international, and the public. Major focus areas of discussions included research funding, cooperative research, infrastructure, and communication. The work of the panel was divided into two phases. Phase 1 focused on the vision, mission, and general direction of regulatory research. Phase II provided guidance and perspectives on the future direction of regulatory research.
