A propos de cet article

530 pages. Illus., glossary, chronology, notes, select bibliographic essay, index. Inscribed and signed by both co-authors. (The name of the person to whom the book was inscribed has been blacked out. ) The authors focus on the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the agency that exercised primary responsibility for safeguarding public health and safety from the hazards of the peaceful application of nuclear energy. A persistent theme of the book is the AEC's effort to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety without imposing restrictive or inflexible regulations that would impede the growth of the nuclear industry. The basic purpose of this book is to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which inherited responsibility for nuclear safety after Congress disbanded the AEC, and the general public with information on the historical antecedents and background of regulatory issues. This book traces the early history of nuclear power regulation in the US. It focuses on the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), the federal agency that until 1975 was primarily responsible for planning and carrying out programs to protect public health and safety from the hazards of the civilian use of nuclear energy. It also describes the role of other groups that figured significantly in the development of regulatory policies, including the congressional Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, federal agencies other than the AEC, state governments, the nuclear industry, and scientific organizations. And it considers changes in public perceptions of and attitudes toward atomic energy and the dangers of radiation exposure. The context in which regulatory programs evolved is a rich and complex mixture of political, legislative, legal, technological, scientific, and administrative history.…
