Provides a preliminary evaluation of the impacts on research reactor performance and fuel costs from using high density fuel. Several case studies are presented and compared to illustrate these impacts.

Provides guidance to Member States for the development, or improvement, of nuclear security systems and measures for the detection of criminal or unauthorized acts with nuclear security implications involving nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

A reference for Member States to develop a national capacity building strategy for nuclear security. It addresses all organisations involved in nuclear security and reflects the multidisciplinary and cross-institutional nature of this task, as well as the long term efforts that are required.

Provides guidance and recommendations on arrangements to be made at the preparedness stage, as part of overall emergency preparedness, for the termination of a nuclear or radiological emergency and the subsequent transition from the emergency exposure situation to either a planned exposure situation or an existing exposure situation.

Reviews the current state of technology regarding combustible gas related safety issues in water cooled nuclear reactors, with a specific focus on post-Fukushima Daiichi accident developments. The recent results obtained from experimental and analytical research on hydrogen/combustible gas behaviour are discussed.

Outlines the concepts and models supporting the requirements for understanding organizational competence within the nuclear context. The publication aims to help in the development of organisational competencies in countries with an existing nuclear power capability and those wishing to embark on a nuclear power programme.

Provides recommendations on how to meet the requirements of Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design in relation to fuel handling and storage systems. The publication addresses the design aspects of handling and storage systems for fuel that remain part of the operational activities of a nuclear reactor.

Defines the key concepts for computer security for instrumentation and control systems at nuclear facilities, explains the risk informed approach to computer security, and describes how computer security measures are applied throughout the l&C system life cycle.

Provides a common internationally agreed basis on what constitutes an acceptable ageing management programme, as well as a knowledge base on ageing management for the design of new plants and design and safety reviews, and aims to serve as a roadmap to available information on ageing management.

Provides a stepwise definition of auxiliary systems and supporting systems for nuclear power plants with water cooled reactors, describes the general design concepts and design recommendations that are common to these systems, and provides recommendations on specific design considerations for a selection of auxiliary and supporting systems.

Makes recommendations concerning the regulatory process for controlling the discharge of liquid and gaseous effluents to the environment from normal controlled operations of practices in which radioactive material is used.

The transport of radioactive material is an essential activity worldwide. This publication is the latest edition of the IAEA Safety Requirements for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. It is supported by six IAEA Safety Guides which provide explanation and guidance for the SSR-6 requirements to facilitate harmonized implementation.

States embarking on a nuclear power programme should understand the importance of establishing an adequate radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel management infrastructure. To assist in overcoming any challenges this might represent, this publication provides an overview of management practices in use in mature nuclear power programmes.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world's "Atom's for Peace" organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies.

Proceedings of an International Conference Held in Gyeongju, Republic of Korea, May 2018. These proceedings highlight the key findings and recommendations of the conference which provided a forum for information exchange on national and international policies and practices.

Reflects new training experiences, technological developments, current practices and techniques concerning the development of instructors for nuclear power plant personnel training. It provides practical guidance on various aspects of instructor selection, development and deployment, by quoting actual examples from Member States.

Provides guidelines and best practices for the quality control of medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. It was written by a group of experts with experience across a range of radiopharmaceuticals and is intended to support professionals in the preparation of good quality and safe products to be used in nuclear medicine procedures.

Provides new insights into the radiation treatment methodologies, particularly the evaluation of toxicity of waste water after radiation treatment, techno-economic aspects of such treatment and its integration with the existing conventional technologies.

The material provided in this publication is intended as an example of a logical process for the preparation, undertaking and evaluation of exercises, which needs to be adapted to suit national systems, local circumstances and the specific aim of each exercise.

Presents the proceedings of an international conference in the field of nuclear security. The conference was convened to foster the exchange of practices related to the security of radioactive material under regulatory control in use, transport and storage, and the detection of nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

Provides recommendations and guidance on a general framework for performing prospective radiological impact assessments for facilities and activities, to estimate and control the radiological effects on the public and on the environment.

Presents dosimetry methodologies for general radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography for both phantom and patient measurements. Details are given on dose audit strategies that take into account the size of children and on how the results of such audits can be used to indicate or be related to diagnostic reference levels.

Reviews experiences in IAEA Member States relevant to the cleanup and decommissioning of nuclear facilities in the aftermath of accidents, and provides an overview of lessons learned worldwide. It also updates information from earlier publications on this topic.

Provides guidance and recommendations on how to meet the relevant requirements for ensuring subcriticality when dealing with fissile material and for planning the response to criticality accidents.
