Environmental monitoring: An informational tool

The results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are reported to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) annually in the annual environmental operating report. The technical requirements for this report are specified in technical specifications and NRC regulatory guides. From 1972 through 1985, annual reports consisted of only technical tables and discussions of the results. These reports were useless as public information tools. In 1986, Davis-Besse developed a claims avoidance philosophy and began to transform the annual report into an effective public information document by adding reports on topics such as the basics of radiation, reactor operation, and risk assessment. The reports are distributed to the NRC, other nuclear power plants, government officials, universities, high schools, libraries, and local interest groups. Environmental monitoring, like any other program, can be used as an informational tool to help promote better public understanding and acceptance of nuclear power.
