REPORT OF THE SITING POLICY TASK FORCE 1. INTRODUCTION The essential elements of nuclear power plant siting policy are derived from the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and are contained in 10 CFR Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," and in 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria." These regulations were promulgated by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1962 and have remained essentially unchanged since that time. The authors of Part 100 recognized that experience with siting nuclear power plants was at that time limited and, in anticipation of subsequent changes as experience was gained, included in Paragraph 100.1 the statement that: (b) Insufficient experience has been accumulated to permit the writing of detailed standards that would provide a quantitative correlation of all factors significant to the question of acceptability of reactor sites. This part is intended as an interim guide to identify a number of factors considered by the Commission in the evaluation of reactor sites and the general criteria used at this time as guides in approving or disapproving proposed sites.
