REGISTRATION & LOGIN INFORMATION FOR JACZKO WEBINAR

Please circulate to colleagues . . .

From the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission  09/27/11

Nuclear bloggers: Please mark your calendar for Oct. 4 from 11 a.m.-Noon EDT for an opportunity to submit questions to NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko and hear his responses.

The conference call webinar will be listen-only. We are soliciting questions both through a dedicated email account at the NRC in advance and taking emailed questions online via the webinar while the discussion is in progress. The session will be archived for later listening as a podcast available for download or listening on the NRC website. For those who would like to prime the pump, the email address to submit a question in advance is: BlogMtg1.Resource@NRC.gov

We are pleased that Dan Yurman of the American Nuclear Society has agreed to facilitate the discussion from NRC headquarters.


For those unable to hook up by computer, the toll-free line to listen is: 888-469-3064 (passcode: 33572 )

Audio will be available through the web link for those persons using speakers or headphones.

The Chairman asked me to arrange these sessions as a way for him to reach out to communities on all points on the nuclear compass. Because there is some possibility that the Chairman not be able to get to all questions in the time available, we will endeavor to provide written responses via the NRC blog at http://public-blog.nrc.gateway.gov  to questions not covered in the allotted time.

Because the focus will be on policy issues and the broad regulatory and safety objectives of the NRC, questions most likely to be selected for the live session will be those that have broad public interest in terms of the NRC’s mission.

Thanks, and we look forward to your participation in this first-ever event for the Chairman.

Eliot Brenner
Director, NRC Office of Public Affairs
