[en] The appendices to Chap. 5 consist of a large number of, in many instances, brief papers on related topics. These are grouped as follows:- (a) introduction and background, (b) acceptance of risk, (c) the situation in Norway, including results of consequence calculations under Norwegian conditions, possible reduction of hazards, siting, underground containment and emergency provisions, (d) the probability of core melting, release and consequences, including methods and uncertainties, failure mode analysis, internal events, external impacts, fission product inventory, release, atmospheric dispersion, health effects, countermeasures and operational experience, (e) nuclear insurance, and, (f) public control of the safety of nuclear installations.

[en] This report presents the findings from personal interviews with a nationwide sample of 1 928 Canadians 18 years of age and over. The report also incorporates the key findings from the exploratory phase report 'Focus Groups Findings on Attitudes Toward the AECB and Its Activities', CRC, October 1988

[en] A state-of-the-art review of decommissioning has been written recently for the International Atomic Energy Agency. The report concludes that decommissioning can be carried out without unacceptable impact on man or his environment. However, additional development is required to improve equipment and techniques, to lower costs and to reduce occupational exposures. (author)

[en] This study describes and assesses the regulatory and administrative processes and procedures of the Atomic Energy Control Board, the AECB. The Atomic Energy Control Act authorized the AECB to control atomic energy materials and equipment in the national interest and to participate in measures for the international control of atomic energy. The AECB is authorized to make regulations to control atomic energy materials and equipment and to make grants in support of atomic energy research. (author)

[en] A survey is given of the Czechoslovak regulations on nuclear safety. The tasks are set for the Czechoslovak Atomic Energy Commission in this field. The lack of uniformity in their interpretation is a serious problem. The best possible solution for the present stage appears to be the taking over of basic Soviet standards. Generally binding regulations on nuclear safety in designing, construction and operation of nuclear installations are issued by the Czechoslovak Atomic Energy Commission jointly with the Federal Ministry of Fuels and Power.

[en] The ASN (Nuclear Safety Authority) was created by the act of 13 June 2006 concerning the transparency and safety of nuclear activities. The ASN is an independent administrative body that is in charge of controlling nuclear activities in France. The ASN has a workforce of 471 people and a budget of about 76 millions euros. This article details its missions and how it is organized to cover all the French territory. (A.C.)

[en] The law aims to secure future energy resources, push forward progress of science and advancement of industry for welfare of the mankind and higher standard of national life by helping research, development and utilization of atomic power. Research, development and utilization of atomic power shall be limited to the peaceful purpose with emphasis laid on safety and carried on independently under democratic administration. Basic concepts and terms are defined, such as: atomic power; nuclear fuel material; nuclear raw material; reactor and radiation. The Atomic Energy Commission and the Atomic Energy Safety Commission shall be set up at the Prime Minister's Office deliberately to realize national policy of research, development and utilization of atomic power and manage democratic administration for atomic energy. The Atomic Energy Commission shall plan, consider and decide matters concerning research, development and utilization of atomic energy. The Atomic Energy Safety Commission shall plan, consider and decide issues particularly concerning safety securing among such matters. The Atomic Energy Research Institute shall be founded under the governmental supervision to perform research, experiment and other necessary affairs for development of atomic energy. The Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation shall be established likewise to develop fast breeding reactor, advanced thermal reactor and nuclear fuel materials. Development of radioactive minerals, control of nuclear fuel materials and reactors and measures for patent and invention concerning atomic energy, etc. are stipulated respectively. (Okada, K.)
