This Guidebook constitutes a complement to a series of technical guidebooks: Technical Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, Technical Reports Series No. 204 (1981); Guidebook on the Introduction of Nuclear Power, Technical Reports Series No. 217 (1982); and Economic Evaluation of Bids for Nuclear Power Plants, 1999 Edition, Technical Reports Series No. 369 (2000). These provide, in part…
The need for a consistent international approach to exclusion and exemption of radiation sources and practices from regulatory control has become increasingly evident, especially for sources which may be transported from one country to another, such as consumer products containing very small amounts of radioactive material. This safety guide represents a first international consensus on the sub…
The atmosphere is an important pathway for the transport of radioactive releases from a nuclear power plant to the environment and thereby to man. It is necessary therefore to have adequate information about this pathway in order to estimate the dispersion of radioactive releases to the population in the region and thus be able to assess the radiological impact on man. The present Guide describ…
This Safety Report compares the requirements of IAEA Safety Series No. 50-C/SG-Q, Quality Assurance for Safety in Nuclear Power Plants and other Nuclear Installations (1996), with the ISO 9001:2000 standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization. It identifies the main differences between the ISO quality standards and the additional requirements and guidance contained with…
This publication is intended to give a full and balanced description of the safeguards techniques and equipment used for nuclear material accountancy, containment and surveillance measures, environmental sampling and data security. Specific features are included in installed equipment systems in order to ensure authenticity and confidentiality of information. A completely new section on new and…
This book consist : Introduction; Brief description of accidents; Major causes of accidents and lessons learned; and Prevention and remedial actions. (Jml)
When facing the decision of closing nuclear power plants (NPPs) before expiration of their operating licences, it is important that the same safety measures are applied to management concerns for strategic planning as are applied to technical reviews. These management and organizational issues are fundamental to any future decommissioning process. Managers at sites that decide to close early ma…

Proceedings of a conference, Sydney, Australia, 18–22 April 1988. The purpose of the conference was to exchange views on the principles of radiation protection, to highlight issues of current importance, to examine the problems encountered in applying the principles of radiation protection and, where possible, to identify generic solutions. The important topics covered were the interface betw…
