This database is currently being developed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research to track annual aqueous and atmospheric effluent release data and offsite doses calculated for each nuclear power plant in the United States. Effluent release data and calculated doses to individuals offsite are submitted annually to the NRC in accordance with requirements outlined in 10 CFR 50.36(a)(2). Further discussion of these reports can be found in Regulatory Guide 1.21, which can be accessed through the NRC's website. Effluent and dose data are entered directly from the annual reports submitted by each licensee. Questions related to a specific plant should be directed to the NRC Project Manager for that particular plant. General questions about the database should be directed to the Office of Public Affairs.

An author who crisscrossed the planet tracing the history of uranium says Utah plays a central role in the story. Utahns shared in the early benefits and paid a huge price in the end: it's a reversal of fortune documented in a new book called "Uranium." Recreationists in southeastern Utah generally don't realize many of their roads and trails were laid down by uranium prospectors in the 1950s. "Probably no state in the country has had more of an experience with uranium than Utah," author Tom Zoellner said. Zoellner has traced the uranium story all around the world. His book "Uranium" gives Utah a key role, for good or ill. "This was home of the last true mineral rush in the American West, and it was infused with kind of these Utopian ideas, and kind of a strong sense of patriotism, and also a strong profit motive," he said.

Dick Thornburgh had a full plate that Wednesday. Two months into his term as governor, there had been an early morning accident at Three Mile Island. Thornburgh, who earned a degree in engineering before going to law school, knew immediately that this was a crisis. But with no actionable information in hand, he returned to a meeting with lawmakers while top aides worked to get a handle on the problem. "Till I had some sense of what this involved, I didn't want to alarm anybody or comfort them," Thornburgh said in an interview recently.
