JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

ATOMIC LINKS



Helpful inks on classifications of nuclear events, materials released, emergency proceedures, risks, general info related to radioactive atomic power to include new atomic power reactor problems.

RISK ASSESMENT: This is important, some nuclear plants have many significant reportable events and present themselves as a constantly changing environment. As the plant ages and the number of EVENTS increase so does risk. The current models and assessments in the U.S. nuclear industry DO NOT take into consideration a fluid environment of change in a plant. U.S. models of accident risk assessment are inaccurate at atomic power plants, they do not consider physical, human and operational changes which occur daily. A scientific study on this subject: Development of Specific Risk Criteria: www.immsgroup.com/images/08%20IJMSR_paper_5.pdf
*
Quote from the above link: "The most important problem with definition of risk criteria lays in the following fact: the models of probabilistic safety assessment, which may represent a prerequisite for application of defined risk criteria, have very wide area of acceptability. It is difficult to define risk criteria, which would be applicable to all models without conditions and prerequisites. Several factors exist, which, if changed, may impact the results in a larger extent."
