  • Letter to the Honorable Tom Ridge
    August 29, 2003 The Honorable Tom Ridge Secretary of Homeland Security Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Secretary: As the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 2001 approaches, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the commercial nuclear industry continue to take steps to enhance security at licensed nuclear facilities and of radioactive material. I am writing on behalf of the Commission to inform you of some of the more significant actions that have been taken and those that are planned. In former Chairman Meserve’s letters dated September 5, 2002, and March 31, 2003, we outlined the steps the Commission had taken to evaluate and enhance security at NRC-licensed facilities since September 11, 20011. Since March 2003, the Commission has continued to enhance security requirements for nuclear power plants and for the handling of high-risk radioactive sources in the post-9/11 environment through organizational changes, Orders to our licensees, and many other actions. Upon taking office as Chairman, I announced that I would continue the agency’s focus on security issues, and I reorganized both the Office of the Chairman and the Office of the Executive Director of Operations to help complete our remaining security initiatives and ensure their timely implementation. For example, in June 2003, I established the position of Deputy Executive Director for Homeland Protection and Preparedness to increase the agency’s attention on cross-cutting issues that affect security, incident response, emergency preparedness, vulnerability assessments and mitigation strategies, and external integration of comprehensive strategies for these areas. There is no doubt that terrorism has introduced challenges to nuclear power plants and the Nation.

Komuniecki, Dean College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo May 2012 Copyright 2012, David J. Kubacki This document is copyrighted material. Under copyright law, no parts of this document may be reproduced without the expressed permission of the author. An Abstract of News Reporting During the Healthcare Reform Debate by David J. Kubacki Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Liberal Studies Degree The University of Toledo May 2012 The study seeks to answer whether or not there was imbalance in news reporting in the three newspapers with the largest circulation in the country during the healthcare reform debate: USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. The results of this study show that a majority of the 986 articles reviewed were found to be neutral in terms of news reporting. In the remaining articles, however, articles in the USA Today and The New York Times were found to lean slightly toward the pro-reform/liberal perspective, while articles in The Wall Street Journal leaned slightly toward the anti-reform/conservative perspective. For my wife, Jillian, and parents, Ralph and Cathy. Who would have thought I would be going to school for a graduate degree? Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support of my wife, Jillian.
