Book Description
All U.S. nuclear power plant (NPP) sites have had some groundwater contamination from radioactive leaks, and some of these leaks came from underground piping systems (UPS). The NRC regulates NPP to protect public health and the environ. from radiation hazards. This report: (1) determines experts' opinions on the impacts, if any, of UPS leaks on public health and the environ.; (2) assesses NRC requirements of licensees for inspecting these systems and monitoring and reporting on leaks; (3) identifies actions the nuclear power industry, licensees, and NRC have taken in response to leaks; and (4) identifies additional NRC requirements that stakeholders think could help prevent, detect, and disclose leaks. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309255716
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
In the late 1980s, the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities (including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant) in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However, this study is now over 20 years old. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1 focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility, judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power, ability to assess potential confounding factors, possible biases, and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment, which will be carried out in Phase 2. This report is beneficial for the general public, communities near nuclear facilities, stakeholders, healthcare providers, policy makers, state and local officials, community leaders, and the media.
