This publication is a resource for specialists in nuclear medicine and radiation oncology on the coupling of positron emission tomography and X ray computed tomography (PET/CT) to more accurately identify cancer cells within the body. Besides, although radiation therapy plays an important role in cancer treatment as an effective non-invasive therapy, damage to normal cells in the vicinity of tu…

This publication is intended to assist health managers, nuclear medicine physicians and referring physicians involved in the management of cancer patients through further application of positron emission tomography (PET) technology. PET is currently used in conjunction with computed tomography (PET/CT), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and other radiopharmaceuticals to detect and target cancer …

This Safety Guide provides recommendations and guidance on the fulfilment of the safety requirements on management of radioactive waste. It covers the roles and responsibilities of different bodies involved in the predisposal management of radioactive waste and in the handling and processing of radioactive material. It is intended for organizations generating and handling radioactive waste or h…

This manual has been produced as part of the IAEA’s Action Plan for the Safety of Radiation Sources and Security of Radioactive Material. It is intended to: assist in the recognition and identification of objects thought to be radioactive devices, sources and transport packages; provide instruction on what to do and how to obtain further help; enhance awareness of the existence of radioactive…

This publication offers guidance for implementing security measures on radioactive sources. It also provides advice on implementing security related provisions in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources



This book is based on a one-semester course on Nuclear and Particle Physics that we have taught to undergraduate juniors and seniors at the University of Rochester. Naturally, the previous experience and background of our students determined to a large extent the level at which we presented the material. This ranged from a very qualitative and hand-waving exposition to one class that consisted …

The NG-T-3.7 nuclear energy series collection is a collection that discusses Managing Siting Activities for Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). The subject matter in this standard is divided into 6 chapters covering introduction, nuclear power program framework, management of siting activities, criteria for selecting and assessing NPP sites, methodology, and stakeholder involvement. This collection was…

This collection is a special collection of safety report series number 69. Published by IAEA in 2012. This collection is about comparison between IAEA GS-R-3 And ISO 9001:2008. Some of the topics discussed include a review of the two standards to their differences and correlations. Also equipped with a comparison table of the two in accordance with the contents of the two standards (MM). Key…
