ABSTRACT

Nuclear facilities accumulate radiological controls program data and documents generated and retained pursuant to company/agency policy, regulatory, license, and technical specification requirements for commercial nuclear power facilities. During an accident many documents will be generated that would not be produced during the normal course of business. Shortly after an accident, the regulatory authority may issue an order requiring the retention of all data, including documentary material, and physical samples relating to the accident as was done in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) order published in 44 Federal Register 30788, 29 May 1979.
