Development of a Method to Fully Assess the Environmental Costs of Electrical Energy by Nuclear Power Plants Abstract A major problem affecting the assessment of the environmental and social costs ofenergy in addition to the monetary cost is a lack of standardization of assessmenttechniques which makes comparisons difficult or invalid. The University of Florida hasadopted the EMERGY analysis process developed by Howard T. Odum1,2,3 to perform aself-consistent study of energy production to assess the full range of environmental,social and economic costs. The EMERGY analysis makes the ordering of energy valuesand the assignment of energy units (emjoules) to environmental and economic

This paper discusses the development of the TactileMental Cutting Test (TMCT) which was adapted from the existing MCT as a fully accessiblespatial ability assessment for BLV populations. Previous publications have reported on thevalidity and reliability of the TMCT where participants utilized one of two formats intended fortheir level of sightedness (fully blind or low vision). This publication builds on past work byanalyzing the reliability of scores specifically from participants who were fully blind or had theirremaining vision blocked while taking the test. These
