Artificial sources of radiation are commonly used in the manufacturing and service industries, research institutions and universities, and the nuclear power industry.

Presents a modular approach to the design of waste processing and storage facilities to address the needs of such Member States with a cost effective and flexible solution that allows easy adjustment to changing needs in terms of capacity and variety of waste streams.

Provides guidance on how to establish or improve, develop, implement, maintain, and sustain computer security within nuclear facilities. The publication addresses the use of risk informed approaches to establish and enhance computer security policies, and describes the integration of computer security into the management system of a facility.

Describes the potential radionuclide production routes using cyclotrons in different energy ranges and provides methods for the development of targets and provides details of the chemistry for the separation of radionuclides from target materials.

La Guia para el uso de sedimentos en la reconstruccion historica de la contaminacion en zonas costeras presenta los metodos, procedimientos operacionales y recomendaciones practicas para el muestreo, la preparacion y la fechacion de perfiles sedimentarios mediante los radionucleidos 210Pb y 137Cs.

This is the 33rd edition of Reference Data Series No.2, which presents the most recent reactor data available to the IAEA. It contains summarized information as of the end of 2012 on power reactors operating, under construction, and shut down; and performance data on reactors operating in the IAEA Member States, as reported to the IAEA.

Draws on data and results collated during an IAEA coordinated research project on optimizing soil, water and nutrient use efficiency in integrated cropping-livestock production systems. The main objective was to enhance food security, improve soil fertility, and mitigate greenhouse gases from agriculture using integrated cropping-livestock systems.

Presents the material properties of all unirradiated Uranium-Molybdenum (U-Mo) fuel constituents that are essential for fuel designers and reactor operators to evaluate the fuel's performance and safety for research reactors.

This publication is the outcome of two technical meetings and compiles the results and conclusions in terms of benefits to be obtained from the use of high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel, with due consideration of safety issues that arise from its use.

Provides current information on considerations about environmental impact assessments (EIAs) related to small modular reactors. Under many regulatory regimes, the EIA report is a prerequisite for licensing and an important tool to confirm that the potential site is suitable for the future construction and operation of a reactor.

New geochemical and mineralogical data from research conducted under an IAEA coordinated research project has resulted in a better understanding of the genesis of uranium and thorium mineralization. This publication presents a summary of the research and selected papers from the project's partners.

Describes several available techniques with sealed radioactive sources, by showing examples of their use in industrial applications and by demonstrating how they can be used to improve process efficiency and to save money. The focus is on two major techniques with sealed radioactive sources: gamma scanning and neutron backscattering.

Addresses the sustainability of all aspects of a national nuclear security regime, including those relating to nuclear material and nuclear facilities, other radioactive material and associated facilities, and nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

Describes a variety of nuclear techniques and applications, such as those in the fields of environment and health, industrial processes, non-destructive testing, forensic and archaeological investigations and cosmochemistry, and in method validation. The descriptive articles demonstrate the advantages of nuclear techniques.

Provides recommendations on specific safety measures to meet the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3 and other relevant Safety Requirements publications on the use of X ray generators and other types of radiation sources that are used for inspection purposes and for non-medical human imaging.

Presents the proceedings of a workshop on the remediation of radioactive contamination in agriculture. The workshop brought together specialists from different countries and technical backgrounds and sought to disseminate research findings and encourage future studies.

Provides technical and scientific information regarding the radiation monitoring, radio-ecological research and management of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant cooling pond. The report focuses on the environmental and radiological conditions after the pond drawdown, as a basis for justification of the remediation strategy for the pond.

Addresses costs arising during individual phases of an environmental remediation project, how they can be calculated, and how they can be structured and documented. Thuis guide provides the methodology of cost estimation and includes examples of cost estimate models, development plans, cost elements and work breakdown structures.

Provides recommendations on meeting the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No SSR-2/1 (Rev 1). The guide addresses the containment structure and the systems with the functions of isolation, control and management of mass and energy releases, control and limitation of radioactive releases, and control and management of combustible gases.

Describes differences in post-accident situations compared with normal decommissioning (i.e. decommissioning after a planned final shutdown) and identifies significant decision factors as applicable. This publication focuses on the on-site decommissioning aspects of a technical nature, which need to be addressed after a nuclear accident.

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.

Assists states in bridging the gap between existing government and industry standards on information security, the particular concepts and considerations that apply to nuclear security, and the special provisions and conditions that exist when dealing with nuclear material and other radioactive material.

Establishes a basis for safety and for safety assessment at all stages in the lifetime of nuclear fuel cycle facilities. A broad scope of requirements is established for site evaluation, design, construction, commissioning, operation and preparation for decommissioning that must be satisfied to ensure safety.

Provides information on the use of the Systematic Assessment of Regulatory Competence Needs methodology to support the implementation of the IAEA safety standards for ensuring regulatory competence in respect of radiation facilities and activities.

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.
