During processing, radioactive waste is converted into waste packages and sent for storage and ultimately for disposal. A principal condition for acceptance of a waste package for storage or disposal is its full compliance with waste acceptance criteria for disposal or storage. To declare compliance of a waste package with waste acceptance criteria, a system for generating and maintaining recor…
This publication provides an overview of the practical aspects related to the implementation of programmes for protection of people and the environment from radiological effects of authorized radioactive discharges. It includes a description of the main processes involved in setting discharge authorizations and presents examples of current practice drawn from national experiences in activities …
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 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 is a collection of references about nuclear power reactors in the world 2019. Published by the IAEA in 2019. This document contains a lot of statistical data in the form of tables such as from construction to operation from various IAEA member countries. Final data is taken until 2018 (MM). Keyword: nuclear power reactor, IAEA, nuclear reactor
This report considers a variety of circumstances that may require corrective actions to be assessed or implemented at near surface disposal facilities. The circumstances leading to the corrective actions, or the corrective actions themselves, may be of either a technical or a non-technical nature. Methodologies that can be employed to implement effective solutions to problems are discussed, inc…
This publication was produced under an IAEA technical cooperation project and includes information on: livestock feeding and breeding strategies in Asia; enteric methane emission mitigation strategies; a systems approach to sustainable livestock production and manure management; processing and handling of manure to reduce pollution and improve nutrient utilization; and field application and uti…
Cyclotrons are used for preparation of a wide variety of radionuclides that find application in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as well as in positron emission tomography (PET). This publication gives comprehensive guidelines for the planning and decision making processes and design and implementation of a cyclotron based radionuclide production facility. It will enable Membe…
