Analysis of a proposed one thousand dollar per man-rem cost-effectiveness criterion
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6626896
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a one-thousand-dollar per man-rem averted ALARA criterion. This report examines the relationship between population dose and health effects, as well as onsite and offsite damage. Examination of the consequences of potential accidents at two sites shows that a site with lower population dose can have equal or greater consequences in terms of health effects and property damage. Using predicted consequences of potential accidents at 156 reactor-site combinations, the dependence of population dose and consequences is examined and its implications discussed.
