It should provide an institutional record, albeit modest, and therefore be useful in considering future actions that may affect Agreement State programs. We hope that this document will benefit those Agreement State program directors and staff members and the NRC staff who will succeed the current generation. from the 1959 through 1972 a portion of the site, designated the nuclear rocket development station (nrds), was used to test 21 above-ground prototypes of space nuclear propulsion reactors. The committee recognizes that there may be gaps in its report due to the lack of records and documentation or due to our failing memories. Associate of Applied Science degree in Nuclear Power Technology, with specialisations in.

This was because there is no formal documentation readily available to the OAS that would support the latter approach, nor are the resources available to OAS to prepare a more complete document. Nonetheless, the Court held that the AEA did not preempt a California law that imposed a moratorium on construction of nuclear power plants in California until the federal government approved technology for the disposal of high level nuclear waste. The committee decided to adopt a topical approach rather than a strict historical or chronological approach. Therefore, the Executive Committee of the OAS appointed an ad hoc committee to document the important aspects of the development of the program. Nuclear Regulatory Commission were losing the historical perspective of this unique program and that some effort might be made to assure the retention of this perspective. At the 1993 meeting of the Organization of Agreement States (OAS), a suggestion was made that the collective body of Agreement States and the U.S.

It has been, and continues to be, unique in the arena of federalstate programs. The evolvement of the NRC/Agreement State Program covers a span of some 35 years. BACKGROUND The NRC has previously evaluated the method for interpreting the safety goal policy statement DISCLAIMER The information and conclusion presented here in are those of the authors and do not represent the view or positions of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
NLO NUCLEAR PLANT UPDATE
This study will examine a potential approach to update the safety goals that includes the establishment of new qualitative goals associated with the comparative risk of generating electricity by viable competing technologies, and the development of preliminary tests in support of a new qualitative goal. Risk metrics such as core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF) have also been used as surrogates for the QHOs. The NRC, in its safety goals policy statement, has provided general qualitative safety goals and basic quantitative health objectives (QHOs) for nuclear reactors in the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), as to the adequacy of the safety goals for use with the next generation of nuclear power reactors to be built in the United States. ABSTRACT There have been significant discussions over the past few years by the U.S.
