Page 217 - less than optimistic' projections and facts that we have been discussing on the solar, coal, and conversation options, the importance of light water reactors to the nation becomes evident. The current projection of 380 GWe of nuclear power by the year 2000 becomes more important if the projections for conservation and coal are not realized.
Page 308 - (1) byproduct materials; "(2) source materials; "(3) special nuclear materials in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.
Page 62 - At this time, then, the linear hypothesis, which allows the- mean tissue dose to be used as the appropriate measure of radiation exposure, provides the only workable approach to numerical estimation of the risk in a population. Further, since there is no means at present of determining the value of the dose-effect slope in the low-dose region of interest, use of the linear extrapolation from data obtained at high doses and dose rates may be justified on pragmatic grounds as a basis for risk estimation.
