How to Build a Digital Library is the only book that offers all the knowledge and tools needed to construct and maintain a digital library, regardless of the size or purpose. It is the perfectly self-contained resource for individuals, agencies, and institutions wishing to put this powerful tool to work in their burgeoning information treasuries. (Jml)
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…
This publication reviews the current status, developments and trends in electronics and digital signal processing methods for nuclear spectrometry. It details improvements in resolution, background reduction and throughput in radiation detector systems achieved by replacing the traditional analog signal processing systems with digital systems. Furthermore it summarizes digital signal processing…
This report provides practical guidance on the methods available for verification of the software and validation of computer based systems in nuclear power plants, and on how and when these methods can be effectively applied. It will be of particular interest to all those involved in the development, implementation, maintenance and use of software and computer based instrumentation and control …
Deterministic safety analysis (henceforth referred to as accident 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). Due to the close interrelation between accident analysis and safety, an analysis that lacks consistency, is incomplete or of poor quality is considered a safety…
This Safety Report updates IAEA Safety Series No. 39, Safe Handling of Plutonium (1974), and provides an overview of modern practices for handling and storing separated plutonium. It provides descriptions of plutonium and its properties, and of the biological effects on humans of plutonium. The principles underlying the safe design and operation of plutonium handling/storage facilities and the …
Zircon has economic importance as a raw material in its own right and also as a feedstock for the manufacture of zirconia (zirconium dioxide), zirconium chemicals and zirconium metal. The geological processes that formed zircon led to the incorporation of radionuclides of natural origin into the crystal structure. The presence of these radionuclides is not significant enough to be of any commer…
The International Atomic Energy Agency, in response to many requests, has produced this guidebook as a general summary of the work that has to be undertaken in the preparation for and introduction of nuclear power in a country. In particular, the book gives guidance on the decisions that have to be taken and the requirements for studies, organization and trained manpower that have to be met on …
