The Summary Report provides a synopsis of the Study for the benefit of a wider audience, and includes its findings, conclusions and recommendation in full. It explains the background to the Study, giving data on the French nuclear weapon tests, and summarizes the Study's assessment of the environmental legacy of weapon testing at the two atolls. The Study's estimates of consequent radiation dos…
This report is based on information presented at two IAEA Technical Committee meetings held within the framework of the IAEA Project on Operational Safety Guidance in 1993 and 1994. The document was prepared to provide guidance to Member States in assessing the status of equipment qualification (EQ) in operational nuclear power plants and in preserving this status. It offers methods and practic…
This Safety Guide 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.
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on meeting the requirements, including those established in Safety Standards Series No. NS-R-1, Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design, for the development of programmes for radiation protection and for the management of radioactive waste at nuclear power plants.
This Safety Requirements publication establishes the requirements for the legal and governmental infrastructure in respect of a range of facilities and activities, including nuclear facilities, sources of ionizing radiation, management of radioactive waste and transport of radioactive material. It covers development of the legal framework for establishing a regulatory body and other actions to …
Accident analysis, i.e. deterministic safety analysis, is an important tool for confirming the adequacy and efficiency of provisions within the defence in depth concept for the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). An analysis that lacks consistency or quality, or is incomplete, represents a safety issue for a given NPP. The purpose of the report is therefore to provide the necessary practical…
This Guide describes the first stage of the siting process for nuclear power plants — the site survey, which involves the study and investigation of a large region to select one or more preferred candidate sites. Its purpose is to recommend procedures and provide information for use in implementing a part of the Code of Practice on Safety in Nuclear Power Plant Siting (IAEA Safety Series No. …

This report provides detailed information on the handling, processing and storage techniques most widely used and recommended for waste from non-fuel-cycle activities, i.e. radioactive waste generated during the application of nuclear techniques and radioisotopes in industry, medicine, research and education. The report was designed to meet mainly the needs of developing countries by focusing o…
Ion beam techniques contribute significantly to the research and development of new materials in important research areas such as information technology, energy management, environmental protection and human health. This publication contains information on how to facilitate applied, innovative research and development efforts using low energy accelerators to study material characteristics, deve…
