This Safety Requirements publication was prepared under the IAEA programme on Safety Standards for Nuclear Installations. It establishes requirements and provides criteria for ensuring safety in site evaluation for nuclear installations. The Safety Guides on site evaluation listed in the references section provide recommendations on how to meet the requirements established in this Safety Requir…
This Safety Guide presents the safety principles and the approach underlying the design of nuclear pow er plants and identifies the relationship between the Code of Practice on Design for Safety of Nuclear Power Plants (IAEA Safety Series 50-C-D, hereafter referred to as the Code) and other Guides in the design. area of the NUSS Programme. It should be read as an elaboration of the safety princ…
The objective of this publication is to provide specific guidance for accident analysis for nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors, taking into account the specific design features of these reactors. This guidance covers all steps required to perform such analyses, including selection of initiating events, acceptance criteria, computer codes, modelling assumptions, preparation of …
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. …
An increasing number of nuclear facilities are coming to the end of their useful lives and are being, or are going to be, decommissioned with a view to removing the sites from regulatory control. In many cases, decommissioning activities include the decontamination of land, buildings and other structures such as underground pipes and tanks, or ponds, at the site that became contaminated as a re…
Radioactive waste is generated in a broad range of activities involving a wide variety of radioactive materials associated with, for example, the operation of nuclear facilities, the use of sealed radioactive sources in industry, the use of human made radionuclides in hospitals and laboratories, and the decommissioning of such facilities. The physical, chemical and radiological characteristics …
The objective of this Safety Guide is to provide guidance on the development and implementation of management systems for the pretreatment, treatment, conditioning and storage of radioactive waste. This publication also includes a description of how to apply the requirements detailed in IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GS-R-3, to the activities associated with producing a packaged waste form fo…
This publication provides guidance and gives detailed advice on methods and practical examples to develop quality assurance (QA) programmes for the safe transport of radioactive material. It further promotes a flexible approach to the development of a QA programme and may be used to prepare such a programme for a specific application by selection of appropriate features.
This Safety Practices publication, a part of the lAEA’s Radioactive Waste Safety Standards (RADWASS) programme, provides guidance on those application of internationally agreed principles for determining those levels of radionuclides in materials below which they can be exempted from regulatory control and can be recycled or reused without any further restriction. lt illustrates a methodology…
