public authorities and others who are responsible for preparing emergency plans for the handling of radiation accidents with the aim of minimizing the resulting exposure of workers and of m embers of the public, and of reducing as far as , practicable any damage to property. This guidance m ust necessarily be of a general nature as it is not possible to predict with any precision the form which…
Gamma and electron irradiation facilities have to be constructed so that during normal use any radiation exposure of workers will be very low and there is no significant exposure to individual members of the public. However, significant radiation exposure may result from loss of control over or damage to the radiation source. In extreme cases the exposures may be sufficient to cause serious inj…
This Safety Report compares the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GS-R-3, The Management System for Facilities and Activities, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications (ASME NQA-1-2008, NQA-1a-2009). It identifies the similarities and differences between them and provides information and guidance to a…
This Safety Report provides guidance on the establishment and operation of calibration facilities for radiation monitoring instruments. It reflects the current internationally accepted principles and recommended practices in calibration procedures, taking account of the major changes and developments that have occurred over the past decade.

This Safety Report specifies features of work under radiation conditions, the general rules of radiological protection for occupational exposure and the organization of the medical surveillance of workers occupationally exposed to radiation. It supersedes IAEA Safety Series No. 83, Radiation Protection in Occupational Health: Manual for Occupational Physicians (1987).
n 17 November 1992 a radiological accident occurred at an electron accelerator facility in Hanoi, Viet Nam. An individual entered the irradiation room without the operators' knowledge and unwittingly exposed his hands to the X ray beam. His hands were seriously injured and one hand had to be amputated. The report details the circumstances of the accident, its medical consequences and the govern…
This Safety Guide provides principles and practical details on the provisions to be made in the design of nuclear power plants to protect site personnel and the general public from ionizing radiation during operational states and accident conditions. The dose limitation systems, including the ALARA principle, are described as the basis for appropriately addressing the radiation protection featu…
The need for a consistent international approach to exclusion and exemption of radiation sources and practices from regulatory control has become increasingly evident, especially for sources which may be transported from one country to another, such as consumer products containing very small amounts of radioactive material. This safety guide represents a first international consensus on the sub…
