미국 의회 보고서(Congressional Research Service Report for Congress) 3건에 대한 분석을 의뢰합니다. 자료의 제목과 Abstract는 다음과 같습니다. 이 자료를 모두 합해서 10~15쪽으로 정리해주시면 되겠습니다. 원문은 Multi TIF 파일로 작성되어 있습니다.

1. DOE Security: Protecting Nuclear Material and Information(6쪽, 7658.tif)

Summary :
Congress is focusing on problems with security at the Department of Energy's(DOE) national security facilities, especially the nuclear weapon laboratories. Problems include espionage from within the labs and protection of nuclear material and facilities from outside attack. This report describes the main components of DOE's security system and reviews current efforts to address shortcomings. This report will be updated as events warrant.

2. Transportation of Spent Nuclear Fuel(26쪽, 7651.tif)

Abstract :
The risk of transporting highly radioactive spent fuel from nuclear power plants to a central storage or disposal site is a major facotr in the current nuclear waste dabate. THe House and Senate have passed similar bills that would establish a central lnuclear waste storage site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which could begin receiving waste shipments within the next few years. This report discusses the adequacy of Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) standard for shipping casks, the potential consequences of transporation accidents, and possible routes for nuclear waste shipments

3. Civilian Nuclear Spent Fuel Temporary Storage Options(39쪽, 7650.tif)

Abstract :
The Department of Energy(DOE) is studying a site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for a permanent underground repository for highly radioactive spent fuel from nuclear reactors, but delays have pushed back the facility's opening date to 2010 at the earliest. In the meantime, spent fuel is accumulating at U.S. nuclear plant sites at the rate of about 2,000 metric tons per year. Major options for managing those growing quantities of nuclear spent fuel include continued storage at reactors, construction of a DOE interim storage site near Yucca Mountain, and licensing of private storage facilities. Arguments for development of a federal interim storage facility include DOE legal obligations, long-term costs, and public controversy over new on-site storage facilities. Opposition to centralized storage centers on the potential risks of a large-scale nuclear waste transportation campaign.
