An evaluation was made of the potential hazards associated with the operation of the PM-1 Nuclear Power Plant at Warren Peak, Wyoming. It is shown that the plant operating personnel are protected from radiation hazards through properly designed radiation shielding. The use of detailed operating and maintenance procedures provides a further means of significantly reducing any potential hazards. The analysis of the hazards to the general public following an extreme accident is shown to be within generally accepted tolerances. In particular, the population of Sundance, Wyoming is sufficiently distant so as not to be jeopardized. As a result of these evaluations, it is believed that the PM-- 1 can be operated at the Warren Peak site without undue to the general public or to the Sundance Air Force Station. personnel. (auth)
