This second edition contains eight additional pages, summarizing recommended changes resulting from a review of data and procedures presented in the first edition. Otherwise, the report remains unchanged. The report itself represents a step towards a universal code advising users in Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs) and radiation therapy centres throughout the world on how to ob…
The main purpose of this report is to assist physicians involved in the early medical handling of radiation victims to apply prompt diagnostic measures and emergency treatment. Special emphasis is given to localized radiation injuries, which are the most frequently occurring direct health effects observed from ionizing radiation. The lessons learned from the accidents at Chernobyl (Ukraine, 198…
This technical report, one of a series on the management of ageing nuclear power plants, presents methodologies for selecting plant components important to safety whose ageing should be assessed and for performing ageing management studies. Although the report has been developed for the management of ageing of plant components important to safety, the methodology studies are applicable to compo…

It is primarily intended to be used by trainers and training providers, and covers among other topics the various methods of training provision and gives advice on the development and organizational aspects associated with the management of training activities. It …
This report provides detailed guidance on how to review probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs) for nuclear power plants with the purpose of providing a basis for taking risk informed decisions within a regulatory decision making process. It gives a detailed account of the field and also addresses the relevant technical issues.
This guidebook is a revision and update of the IAEA Guidebook on Training to Establish and Maintain the Qualification and Competence of Nuclear Power Plant Operations Personnel, IAEA-TECDOC-525, published in 1989. It incorporates the experience gained since the introduction of the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) for nuclear power plant personnel and emphasizes a broader concept of compete…
