New NRC committee members



     The following information has recently been made available:
     
     The administration has drafted a list of candidates for the 
     five-member Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which will have only two 
     confirmed members as of July 1. The list includes Cas Robinson, head 
     of a national coalition on high-level nuclear waste for the Nuclear 
     Energy Institute; Ray Durante, US program director for Atomic Energy 
     of Canada Ltd.'s CANDUS-3 nuclear reactor program; Mark Shaffer, aide 
     to Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Vicky Bailey; Greta Dicus, 
     member of the Arkansas Department of Health; and Dan Berkovitz, 
     democratic staffer with the Senate Environment and Public Works 
     Committee.
     
     ----------
     
     It seems to me that the HPS and/or any other group with a vested 
     interest in NRC philosophy should take an active interest in these 
     procedings, since a majority of the committee will be changed.
