The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

Three Mile Island Unit 2 data are of great interest to the scientific community, since the March 1979 accident represents the only occurrence of a transient resulting in severe fuel damage in a full-scale commercial production reactor. The data sources available for accident analyses, techniques to qualify and quantify time series measurement and sample data that have been collected and evaluated, and data base products that have been developed for use by analysts in investigating the many aspects of the accident are discussed. Applications processing features have been incorporated into the software designs to provide the end user with many useful capabilities in sorting, viewing, and analyzing the data; the data base discussions emphasize these features.
