Also included are reports from non-government entities such as the Nuclear Power Oversight Committee, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, and the Energy Research Group related to domestic nuclear power and nuclear waste programs.

The printed material consists of newspaper and magazine articles related to nuclear power reactors, radioactive waste dumping, and arms reductions.
