Handbook for Value-Impact Assessments of NRC Regulatory Actions

摘要

According to current Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) procedures, value-impact (cost-benefit) assessments are required for all rulemaking actions and other NRC requirements and guidance submitted for review by the Committee to Review Generic Requirements (CRGR) and for decision by the Executive Director for Operations (EDO) or the Commission. In December 1983, the NRC published A Handbook for Value-Impact Assessment. This Handbook has been incorporated into current NRC procedures as the recommended guideline for preparing value-impact analyses. This paper summarizes the background, objectives, scope, and contents of the Handbook. (ERA citation 10:006874)
