الصفحة 154 - ... provide adequate protection to the health and safety of the public.
الصفحة 172 - Individual members of the public should be provided a level of protection from the consequences of nuclear power plant operation such that individuals bear no significant additional risk to life and health.
الصفحة 8 - Administrator to the House Committee on Science and Technology and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources upon the request of either such committee.
الصفحة 91 - PWR steam generators have shown evidence of corrosion-induced wastage, cracking, reduction in tube diameter, and vibration-induced fatigue cracks. The primary concern is the capability of degraded tubes to maintain their integrity during normal operation and under accident conditions with adequate safety margins.

الصفحة 173 - The risk to an average individual in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant of prompt fatalities that might result from reactor accidents should not exceed one-tenth of one percent (0.1 percent) of the sum of prompt fatality risks resulting from other accidents to which members of the US population are generally exposed.
الصفحة 78 - 8th Annual Review of Overall Reliability and Adequacy of the North American Bulk Power Systems
الصفحة 172 - Societal risks to life and health from nuclear power plant operation should be comparable to or less than the risks of generating electricity by viable competing technologies and should not be a significant addition to other societal risks.
الصفحة 285 - Load factor. Load factor is the ratio of the average load over a designated period of time to the connected load.
