The function of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to regulate the nation's nuclear
power industry and the civilian use of special nuclear materials. Its mission is to ensure …

For a binomial sampling model using pass/fail data and a beta prior distribution, parametric
empirical Bayes (PEB) point and credibility interval estimates are provided for the time-and-…

The 1980 human performance based validation procedure for automated particulate
inspection systems described by Knapp and Kushner is extended to cover the major imported …

The international drive to achieve higher quality and improved cost effectiveness in parenteral
products has achieved an apparent concensus concerning the utility and desirability of …

This study examines the past and future impact of nuclear reactors on anthropogenic carbon
emissions to the atmosphere. If nuclear power had never been commercially developed, …

The development of a rugged, field serviceable ampul inspection system that could assure
both improved quality and reduced inspection cost was initiated. The system was intended for …

The prerequisites for estimating the effect of signal coincidence on both particle undercounting
and the injection of false counts in the implementation of USP 788 contaminating particle …

Given two independent random variables with densities f 1 and f 2 , we test H 1 : f 1 = f 11 , f
2 = f 12 versus H 2 : f 1 = f 21 , f 2 = f 22 , where the f ij are known densities (i,j = 1,2). We …

… Although p0 and pro both become small for r near 1, this merely reflects the fact that
when r is near 1 the first strike is negligible in magnitude and the massive counterforce …

USP objective tests for particle contamination in injectable fluids are based on counts of single
particles in a specified test volume. Accuracy standards for these tests must therefore be …
