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.
