Trefethen, Jr. Interviews Conducted by Gabrielle Morris in 1990 Copyright fc\ 1991 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert B.

Piotter, NRC Project Manager NRC Job Code J5710 Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards ABSTRACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has established requirements for packaging and transportation of spent nuclear fuel assemblies under normal conditions of transport and for hypothetical accident conditions. Real-world accidents of greater severity are possible, but are of much lower probability, and the probability of such an accident involving a spent nuclear fuel (SNF) package is even lower. However, because of the potential consequences, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has undertaken the examination of specific accidents to determine the potential consequences to an SNF package. The MacArthur Maze accident of April 2007, which did not involve SNF, was selected for evaluation because of the severity of the fire and the unusual structural consequences, in which the heat from the fire caused the overhead roadway segments to collapse onto the roadway where the fire was burning.

  • The East Bay Hills Fire, Oakland-Berkeley, California
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California USFA-TR-060/October 1991 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

    ALAMEDA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' HEALTH COMMITTEE Monday, September 14, 2015 9:30 a.m. Supervisor Wilma Chan, Chair Location: Board of Supervisors Chambers – Room 512 5th floor Supervisor Keith Carson County Administration Building 1221 Oak Street, Oakland, CA 94612 Summary/Action Minutes I. “Shoo the Flu” Update Attachment Dr. Erica Pan, Director, Division of Communicable Disease Control & Prevention, Alameda County Public Health Department, presented a PowerPoint presentation on “Shoo the Flu”, a program to prevent flu and the spread of flu among children in Alameda County. In Alameda County, there are over 100,000 flu-related illnesses per year, and between 200 to 500 hospitalizations due to the flu. Expenses for flu-related illness in Alameda County are approximately $120 million annually. The flu is preventable thru vaccination. “Shoo the Flu” is a program provided by the Public Health Department in partnership with several other agencies to provide flu vaccination to school children from Pre-K to 5th grade, in select schools across Oakland. The program is free and it requires parental consent. The benefits to vaccinating children at school include: •Increased vaccine coverage in school-aged kids •Decreased community-wide transmission •Reduced absenteeism •Cost savings: direct health care costs and indirect: work days lost •Safe and convenient for parents This program is made possible through grant funding from the Page Foundation and this is the second year of a three-year grant. The State Department of Public Health provides the flu vaccines. Other partners include the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, the California Emerging Infections Program and the Oakland Unified School District.
