الصفحة iii - Currently, 107 operating nuclear power plants supply over 20 percent of the Nation's electricity. As these plants age, issues related to the plant lives and decommissioning are likely to become much more visible and draw more public attention. This report examines the following: the outlook for safety management and economic life decisions for the Nation's existing nuclear power plants as they age; the prospects for decommissioning; and current and potential Federal efforts that could contribute...
