The major concerns of the testimony of these hearings was protection against hazards of nuclear accidents and nuclear theft and sabotage. Additionally, questions were considered concerning the ability to provide protection over the long run when it is possible that there will be greater quantities of nuclear materials in the commercial sector than is the case today. A joint statement was presented by Mike Gravel, U.S. Senator from Alaska and Hamilton Fish, Jr., U.S. Representative from New York. Testimony was presented by three people who have considered the question of the types of groups or persons who might attempt to steal nuclear materials or sabotage facilities. A panel discussion of reactor sabotage and measures to increase the difficulty of such sabotage is included. Representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) presented NRC safeguards. A broad range of safeguards issued by the anti-nuclear groups was discussed by Dr. Arthur Tamplin and others. Representatives of the Energy Research and Development Administration and industry addressed the transportation security of nuclear materials and gave some indication of the extent of the need for Federal involvement in this transportation.
