In anticipation of problems such as are presented by the i n s.t an t cace the Southern Governors' Conference appoint-ed a tast forco for nuclear power policy to carry out a e.yntenaticanalysisoftherespcEt.ibilityandcopacityof our Staten to deal with the administrative and protective governmental interer.ts croated by the growth of nuclear i innta11ation- and activitien, with particular reference to s
