The issue might be regarded as long since resolved by Congressional legislation, which assigns this responsibility to the Atomic Energy Commission. However, the very existence of this conference testifies to the now incontestable fact of public life that the issue is not resolved. Many citizens have expressed their dissatisfaction with the procedures that have until now been employed by the AEC in licensing reactor operations. Despite the legislative authority given to the AEC, a number of governors have held that |
