Abstract |
The Environmental Protection Agency has reviewed environmental impact statements for light-water reactors (LWR) since 1971. During the course of the reviews, EPA has emphasized the need for a thorough evaluation of the environmental risks, including risks from accidents, associated with LWR technology. The Reactor Safety Study is a comprehensive study of reactor safety and is the first such study to use a systems analysis approach in order to quantify the risks of reactor accidents in terms of probabilities and consequences, where historical and empirical data are inadequate. Since there are presently 53 LWRs licensed to operate and 188 more under construction, proposed or planned, it is imperative that the Reactor Safety Study be reviewed in depth and as impartially as possible so that the validity of the study's methodology and results can be determined. This EPA report includes the two sets of formal Agency comments and the complete ITI report. |
