It is recommended that standards for methods of chemical analysis are drawn up in accordance with Part 3 of the ISO/IEC Directives for the technical work of ISO, which gives general guidance, and using the layout of which details are given on the following pages. It should always be remembered, in making use of this layout, that it is for guidance only. It should be adapted to suit any special…
Radiation is a fact of life. We live in a world in which radiation is naturally present everywhere. Light and heat from nuclear reactions in the Sun are essential to our existence. Radioactive materials occur naturally throughout the environment, and our bodies contain radioactive materials such as carbon-14, potassium-40 and polonium-210 quite naturally. All life on Earth has evolved in the pr…
At a Special Session of the IAEA General Conference in September 1986, it was suggested that the IAEA could play a role in assisting Member States in the enhancement of their regulatory practices with the objective of increasing the confidence of the international community in the safety of nuclear power programmes. As the first stage of this assistance, the Agency initiated an IAEA Questionnai…
This book consist : Introduction; Selection of required measurements and sampling; Survey; Monitoring; and Analytical procedures for radionuclides of interest. (Jml)
The purpose of this Safety Guide is to provide international guidance, coherent with contemporary radiation protection principles and IAEA safety requirements, on the strategy of monitoring in relation to: (a) control of radionuclide discharges under practice conditions, and (b) intervention, such as in cases of nuclear or radiological emergencies or past contamination of areas with long lived …
This guide advises on the protection of nuclear power plants against the effects of external man-induced events which originate outside the site and which have been identified and selected as design basis external man-induced events (DBEMIEs) according to Safety Guide No. 50-SG-S5, to which this guide is complementary.
This book consist : Introduction and scope; Pedriatic nuclear medicine; and Pediatric diagnostic ultrasound; (Jml)
The purpose of this Report is to review the current status of the application of radionuclide transport models from the point of discharge to the environment to the point of intake by man. This process, called radiological assessment, begins by defining the quantity of radionuclides that are released and enter the environment. Uncertainties in the measurements or estimates of the source term ar…
Report No. 77 considers and evaluates potential exposures from the radionuclides of the uranium series with emphasis on radon and its daughters. The Report examines, on the basis of available information, the sources of radon, the levels of exposure and their probable distribution, and estimates the risks attributable to these exposures. The Report concludes that while information on levels and…
