Icone19-43358 Compliance With Applicable National Environmental Policy Requirements for Licensing a New Nuclear Power Plant World-Wide

Abstract

Assuring the protection of humans and their environment is of great concern to nuclear electric power generators and regulators, as we move towards a full scale nuclear renaissance. The applicable national environmental policies of the host country usually require government agencies and the permit applicants to consider environmental impacts in making decisions and to disclose these environmental impacts to the public.
