Nrc Quotes

the National Research Council (NRC) hired a team of anthropologists, led by the venerable Margaret Mead, to study American food habits. How do people decide what’s good to eat, and how do you go about changing their minds? Studies were undertaken, recommendations drafted, reports published—including Mead’s 1943 opus “The Problem of Changing Food Habits: Report of the Committee on Food Habits,” and if ever a case were to be made for word-rationing, there it was. The

When approximately 80% of the environmental impact is predetermined at the concept and design stage there is clearly action to take. As Kate Krebbs, executive director of the National Recycling Coalition (NRC) in the USA says, “Waste is a design flaw.

On May 11, 2001, with less than two weeks to go before the close of the public comment period on the petition, the White House turned to the National Research Council (NRC), seeking assistance in identifying the “greatest certainties and uncertainties” in climate change science. The NRC returned a summary report three weeks later, on June 6, 2001. Its first two lines concluded, “Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth’s atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising.

This is not a survey of the science, but a legal argument.” CEQ edits further instructed, “revise all science text in collaboration with [the Department of Justice].” By the final draft, the discussion of the NRC report had been substantially changed to conform to a deregulation stance.

Fear of "anything nuclear" could stop LFTRs from being built, even though deaths and cancers and disease from all nuclear accidents combined since 1945, major and minor, is less than the deaths produced each year by coal plants. And LFTRs would have better safety and less waste than current nuclear reactors. "The utilities do not have an inherent motive, beyond an unproven profit profile, to make the leap... the large manufacturers, such as Westinghouse, have already made deep financial commitments to a different technology, massive light-water reactors, a technology of proven soundness that has already been certified by the NRC for construction and licensing. Among experts in the policy and technology of nuclear power, one hears that large nuclearplant technology has already arrived

chance the plant will survive.       Dr. Alton Mackey, Commissioner of the NRC gave the President a five-minute slide show with the pictures from 2011. Given the massive overtopping of the Garrison and Oahe dams, there was no way the two nuclear plants would survive the onslaught.     “How long does it take to shut down the reactors?”     Dr. Mackey hemmed and hawed. “When you turn your BBQ grill off, your steaks are still cooking even though the fuel is turned off.” The analogy was appropriate. “The control rods have already been disconnected which means the fission process has been stopped, but the fuel rods are still producing heat in the form of protons, helium nuclei, electrons, gamma rays, neutrons and positrons and a bunch of other radioactive crap. It takes years for the spent fuel rods to break down into less radioactive substances.

Consider the safety of nuclear reactors. General Electric marketed the Mark 1 boiling-water reactors that were used in Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant as cheaper to build than other reactors because they used a smaller and less expensive containment structure. The same design is used in twenty-three American nuclear reactors at sixteen plants. In the mid-1980s, Harold Denton, then an official with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), said Mark 1 reactors had a 90 percent probability of bursting should the fuel rods overheat and melt in an accident. But so far, the NRC has done nothing.

मन की बात" मेरे कमरे के बाएं तरफ़ के किनारे का वो कोना जहाँ अक्सर बैठता हूँ, खुला आसमान आसपास खड़ी दो बड़ी सी ईमारतों के बीच से साफ़ दिखता है अकेली सी अँधेरे रात अपने यौवन पर होती है और मेरी आँखें टकटकी लगाये खिड़की से झांकती रहती हैं उस वक़्त जब मैं बिलकुल अकेला होता हूँ एक दम शून्य सा ख़ामोश बैठा अपनी ख़ामोशी से घिरे बैठे मेरे ज़हन में लाखों सवाल उठते हैं। इन सवालों की उधेड़ बुन मुझे अक्सर सोने नहीं देती। TV और समाचार पत्रों की माने तो इस वक़्त हिंदुस्तान का हर दूसरा आदमी हिन्दू, मुस्लिम CAA और NRC के विरोध में उलझा है। और तब मैं दिल और दिमाग़ के बीच उलझा अपने जीवन को सही दिशा निर्देश देने में सम्पूर्ण लीन हूँ। मेरे पड़ोस में रहने वाली सब्बन मियां की माँ जिन्हें मैं खाला(मौसी) कहता हूँ उनका प्यार अब भी मेरे प्रति कम नहीं हुआ उनके हाथ की बनी सेबईयों के स्वाद की मिठास अब भी कम न हुयी और घर के पड़ोस में खेलते बच्चों के झुण्ड को देखकर अब भी कोई नहीं बता सकता है कि इसमें राजू और राकेश का लौंडा कौन सा है या सक़ील सब्बन का कौन सा है। पर हमारे देश के समाचार पत्रों में पढ़कर लगता है कि हर तरफ़ हिंसा की आग लगी फ़ैल रही है न जाने कौन सा वो पल होगा जो हमें तुम्हेँ जलाकर राख़ कर देगा। ख़ैर.... मेरे दिल और दिमाग़ में जो कोहराम इस वक़्त मचा है वो इन सब बातों ने नहीं मचाया। दरअसल मैं बदलते दौर के बदलते रिश्तों और इंसानी जज़्बातों के बीच ठहरी गहरी ख़ामोश को समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ। वो गहरी ख़ामोशी जो न चाहते हुए भी हर शख़्स के जीवन का हिस्सा है। जब चल रही है दुनिया झूठे अफसानों पर। जब मिट रहे हैं रिश्ते उँगलियों के इशारे पर। ये नादाँ था दिल लगा बैठा, और मिट गया। उनकी हर दिन कि दिमाग़ी चालों पर।।

If you're preventing the govt from identifying illegal immigrants, you're supporting an illegal activity. And if you don't even respect the law of the country, stop spouting bullshit about wanting to save its constitution.

It's quite interesting how people who are opposing a bill that gives refuge to humans suffering persecution in countries known to persecute religious minorities love to call themselves humanitarian.

The problem with the millenials is that they are deriving 95% of their knowledge from social media posts and content being shown on tv. Kindly refer to the traditional sources ie books by doing the following: 1. Go to the bookstore and buy a copy of Citizenship Act 1955 or download a copy from credible sources such as Westlaw or LexisNexis. 2. Download a copy of the proposed amendment from the same platform and go through every word. Don't read the 1000s of opinion posts on the internet. 3. Educate yourself and relax, no one is coming after your citizenship. This exercise will take 25 minutes of your life. Not only it will stop you from sharing hate posts on social media but also it will make you appear as a literate individual and not a semi literate.

The National Research Council (NRC) spent more than three years reviewing more than 500 scientific studies that had been conducted over a 20-year period and found “no conclusive and consistent evidence” that electromagnetic fields harm humans.
