LU@I,                   STATEMENT OF
                  J. DEXTER PEACH, DIRECTOR
                  ENERGY AND MINERALS DIVISION
                         BEFORE THE
             SUBCOMMITTEE ON NUCLEAR REGULATION        o
                           OF THE
           COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS
                    UNITED STATES SENATE
                           ON THE
              LNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION'S
              SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING AND USING
              OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERTISEJ

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate your invitation to appear before the

Subcommittee to discuss with you the findings of our review

of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) system for ac-

quiring and using outside assistance and expertise. As you

know, our work was performed at the request of both the Sub-

committee Chairman and the then Ranking Minority Member.

     Our March 7 report concentrates on NRC's use of contrac-

tors, consultants, and the Department of Energy's (DOE's)

laboratories and focuses on those aspects which appeared to

be weak. Our report is brief, and with your approval,

Mr. Chairman, I would like to submit a copy of it for inclu-

sion in the record.

     I would first like to discuss the portion of our report

on NRC's use of the DOE laboratories, which I understand is

of primary concern to the Subcommittee at this time.
