Frequently Asked Questions on License Renewal of Nuclear Power Reactors by U.s. Nuclear Regulation Comion Pdf
With the increase in the number of power reactors submitting applications for renewed licenses, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff realized that members of the public near different power reactor sites had similar questions related to the license renewal process and the risks associated with renewing the licenses. This report, through a question-and-answer format, provides staff responses to frequently asked questions on the license renewal process for commercial, nuclear power reactors. The questions were taken from a variety of sources over the past several years, including written inquiries to the NRC and questions asked at public meetings and during informal discussions with the NRC staff. In responding to the questions, the NRC staff attempted to provide the answers in a clear and non-technical form.

Question-&-answer format. Provides information to the public on the process of decommissioning of nuclear power plants and the risks associated with decommissioning. With the increase in the number of power reactors beginning the decommissioning process and the significant changes that occurred in the regulations in 1996, this report provides NRC staff responses to frequently asked questions on decommissioning nuclear power reactors. The questions were taken form a variety of sources over the past several years. The NRC staff provides the answers in a clear and non-technical form that an individual with no or little technical training could understand.

In the U.S., 104 commercial nuclear power reactors are licensed to operate at 65 sites in 31 States. For each site, there are onsite and offsite emergency plans to assure that adequate protective measures can be taken to protect the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Federal oversight of emergency preparedness for licensed nuclear power plants is shared by the NRC and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This sharing is facilitated through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU is responsive to the President's decision of December 7, 1979, that FEMA take the lead in overseeing offsite planning and response, and that NRC assist FEMA in carrying out this role. The NRC has statutory responsibility for the radiological health and safety of the public by overseeing onsite preparedness and has overall authority for both onsite and offsite emergency preparedness. For planning purposes, the NRC defines two emergency planning zones (EPZs) around each nuclear power plant. The exact size and configuration of the zones vary from plant to plant due to local emergency response needs and capabilities, population, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries. The two types of EPZs are: The plume exposure pathway EPZ extends about 10 miles in radius around a plant. Its primary concern is the exposure of the public to, and the inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination.

Global Climate Change Policy and Carbon Markets by Richard H. Rosenzweig Pdf
In this book, Richard Rosenzweig, describes the policies proposed and adopted in the first generation of climate change policy-making including the Kyoto Protocol and the carbon markets and assesses their failure to halt the increases of rising emissions of greenhouse gases. Carefully structured throughout, each chapter demonstrate how the first generation of policies failed because they were top down, overly ambitious and complex. The author uses the lessons drawn from this analysis to recommend more modest, targeted policies, arguing that they will be more successful in fighting climate change in the new era of policy-making. An invaluable reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in taking relevant courses in Environmental Policy, Law and Business. This book will also be a useful overview for researchers working in the field as well as those working in government and policy.
