|
 | This memorandum explores the relationship between civil defense, national vulnerabilities and the deterrence of nuclear warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States. The author examines the problems and effectiveness of the major elements of Soviet civil defenses (leadership and population protection; industrial protection; and postattack recovery) to determine whether, and to what extent, the Soviet capabilities undermine crisis stability and deterrence. The proposals of the Carter (PD-41) and ... |

| Organizational relocation is an important part of the crisis relocation concept for civil defense. It involves evacuating from a threatened risk area the employees of the larger companies and institutions. Employees, together with their dependents, would move in controlled groups, be sheltered in pre-arranged host areas, and retain the particular organization's identity, chain of command, and--to the extent possible--its purpose.

| Since the Federal Government is still committed to fostering private industry involvement in nuclear energy, and since alternative methods for insuring the public against the potential hazards of a catastrophic nuclear accident do not provide as much financial protection as does the Price-Anderson Act, we believe that the financial protection provided DOE-contractor operations is still needed. Differences in the treatment of DOE-contractor operations under the Price-Anderson Act, however, serve to ... |
