OSTI ID:5421571

This report examines the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) current approach to peer review of its environmental research and provides advice on how these practices, as well as other means to enhance the quality of environmental research, could be improved. The committee recommends that a policy outlining a procedure for peer review be established, that a board be established to oversee the agency's research program, that a group of scientists be designated to coordinate the review process, and that scientists be encouraged to publish in the open literature.
