This text focuses on nuclear waste management, which can work in democratic countries only if viewed as legitimate by the population. The book posits the inability of democracies to establish such legitimacy as an explanation for the current absence of public policy decisions that can identify a solution.
The IAEA Nuclear Security Series provides international consensus guidance on all aspects of nuclear security to support States as they work to fulfil their responsibility for nuclear security. The IAEA establishes and maintains this guidance as part of its central role in providing nuclear security related international support and coordination.

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 …
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…
This report provides information and discussion on planning, methodologies and technologies for retrieval and reconditioning of radioactive wastes recovered from old, inadequate disposal or storage facilities. The objective is to improve waste safety and security in accordance with modern requirements. Selected international experiences in waste retrieval and recovery projects are included. The…
