It is that time of year again when I ask for people who are interested in being on the Citizen Advisory Council of the Utility Radiological Safety Board.  If you or someone you know would be interested please contact me at the address below.  I would like to have applications in hand by June 25.  





The Utility Radiological Safety Board Citizens Advisory Council is soliciting applications for membership for two year terms* starting July 1, 2001.  The members of the Citizens Advisory Council are an organized voice that ensures the URSB member agencies are aware and responsive to the needs of the citizens of Ohio.  The mission of the Citizens Advisory Council is "To advise the Utility Radiological Safety Board of Ohio on measures and factors affecting the safety of existing nuclear power facilities, including, but not limited to plant design, operations, management, emergency planning, public health and environmental impacts, and regulatory standards and policies."



The Citizens Advisory Council meets four times a year, more often as needed, and members include citizens, students, local government officials, academics, environmental organizations, scientists, and nuclear and health professionals.  The members of the Citizens Advisory Council serve two year terms, except for the student members, who serve one year terms.  



If you are interested in applying for membership please send a letter expressing your interest for a position, and a brief description of your qualifications such as a resume or curriculum vitae.
