The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is supplementing a notice published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2012 (77 FR 16270), that requested public comments on draft license renewal interim staff guidance (LR-ISG), LR-ISG-2011-04, ``Updated Aging Management Criteria for PWR Reactor Vessel Internal Components.'' The original notice provided the ADAMS Accession Number for the main body of LR-ISG-2011-04 but did not include accession numbers for Appendices A and B of the LR-ISG. This supplement provides the appropriate ADAMS Accession Numbers for the LR-ISG in its entirety, and does not change any other information in the original notice for public comment.
At the present time, there are no clear outcomes in Turkey's European Union (EU) accession process. By the end of the two years following the rise of the pro-Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) to the government in 2002, Turkey's accession process entered into a stalemate. Potent political opposition to the Turkish candidacy in Europe has escalated, despite a staunch Turkish political commitment since 1999 to meet the Copenhagen Criteria for admission. In this article, we argue that Turkey's EU accession process has contributed to opening political spaces for Islamism and ethno-nationalism in the country, ironically producing societal and political forces undermining Turkish membership. We inquire first into the practical reasons obstructing Turkey's membership to the Union and...
Next Monday, Turkey will most likely start talks to enter the European Union. Yet the question remains whether Turkey's Sisyphean past will change going forward. In December, EU leaders agreed that Turkey had met all the criteria to start accession talks. But today, they disagree over whether it was a good idea at all. Those who oppose Turkey's membership still cite problems ranging from geography to culture, from religion to population. However, the most recent problems have arisen because of Cyprus. The Cyprus problem is almost four decades old, but for the first time a U.N.backed peace plan was put on referendum in April. Turkish Cypriots, who were promised full EU membership, accepted the plan; the majority of Greek Cypriots opposed it. The EU did not see the referendum as an obstac...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing the completion and availability of the new criteria for identifying nuclear material licensees for discussion at the Agency Action Review Meeting (AARM). The criteria may be found in SECY-11-0132 (NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number: ML112280111) or in the supplementary information below. The AARM is an agency meeting that allows senior NRC managers (1) to review the appropriateness of agency actions that have been taken for those nuclear power plants with significant performance problems as determined by the reactor oversight process (ROP) action matrix, (2) to review the appropriateness of agency actions for those nuclear material licensees, including fuel cycle facilities, with sig...
In "Unfair to Turkey," (Op-Ed, Dec. 19), Tulin Daloglu ignores the facts and blames Cyprus for Turkey's bumpy road toward European Union accession. In reality, the current impasse arises because Turkey refuses to adhere to the same membership criteria and rules and regulations that apply to all other EU accession candidates. At the recent European Council meeting, the EU leaders said that "further significant efforts are required [by Turkey] to strengthen freedom of expression, freedom of religion, women's rights, minority rights, trade union rights and civilian control of the military." They also called on Turkey to fulfill its contractual obligations, including its commitment to extend its customs union to all EU member states, including Cyprus something that Turkey had agreed to in J...

In his recent column "A knock on the door" (Commentary, Oct. 14), Philip Terzian cites so-called "obstacles" to Turkey's accession to the European Union that bear little relationship to reality. Despite Mr. Terzian's claims to the contrary, Turkey is a full- fledged secular democracy where power resides with representatives elected by the people. The European Commission's recent declaration that Turkey meets the Copenhagen political criteria for accession to the EU is testament to this. Indeed, over the past few years, the Turkish parliament has enacted more than 200 laws aimed at modernizing the country's penal code, protecting political dissent and religious pluralism, and ensuring the rule of law and protection of human rights. Our progress has been praised by almost all human- right...
The break-up of the Soviet Union, in the beginning of the 1990s influenced developments in the Balkan Peninsula, which acquired the form of an intense secessionist wave in the federal republics that made up the Yugoslav federation. The EC, despite its low degree of political integration, tried to intervene in the developing crisis, using the recognition of the newly independent states as a political leverage, and although the EC intervention did not avert the dynamics of the upcoming dramatic developments, the use of recognition as a diplomatic leverage, along with the known and already tested in the past principle of "uti possidetis juris," did function in this case as a brake to the escalation of the Yugoslav tragedy. Of particular interest is the case of the former Socialist Republic...

Former communist countries in Europe faced difficult choices over the past 15 years as they moved from centrally planned economies to market economies. The Hungarian transformation provides an interesting case for analysis because of its relative success. This analysis focuses on the Hungarian insurance sector as one part of Hungary's successful economic transition and integration from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The transition of the Hungarian insurance market presents a thought-provoking case of revolutionary change from a bureaucratic monopoly with inefficient performance to a competitive, albeit oligopolistic, insurance market.
