The study is not intended, by itself, to support any specific rulemaking action or other regulatory activity.
Among the topics discussed in the WDA are:
(1) sabotage of spent fuel (thousands casks, discussed in Chapter 6, resulting in severe consequences of deaths, billions of dollars in damages) and (2) consequences of severe accidents in urban areas resulting in costs exceeding S560 million.
