The International Atomic Energy Agency, in response to many requests, has produced this guidebook as a general summary of the work that has to be undertaken in the preparation for and introduction of nuclear power in a country. In particular, the book gives guidance on the decisions that have to be taken and the requirements for studies, organization and trained manpower that have to be met on …
This report provides a set of suggested methods and practices for determining the source term and analysing the radiological consequences of research reactor accidents. It provides safety analysts, regulators, and reactor facility management and operations staff, with the calculation methods and techniques necessary for deriving the source term. This includes all factors relevant to the formati…
This book examines the importance of global nuclear order, emphasising the importance of perspective in our understanding of it, and its significance in international politics. Addressing a gap in existing literature, this book provides an introduction to nuclear weapon states and their relationship with the global nuclear order/disorder paradigm. It explores four main themes and aims to: …
This book is about nuclear forensics. The development of nuclear technology is so advanced for the world of health, agriculture, mining industry, and others. However, on the other hand, nuclear is often misused, for example in terrorism, smuggling of nuclear materials, radioactive substances. Therefore, it is necessary to control and forensic studies to analyze what has happened. This book disc…
This publication provides practical guidance for performing safety analyses of research reactors. The guidance is based on present good practice worldwide. It covers all the steps required to perform safety analyses, i.e. selection of initiating events and acceptance criteria, rules and conventions, selection of computational tools, and presentation and evaluation of the analysis results. The s…
This publication is a companion to the IAEA Safety Report, Accident Analysis for Nuclear Power Plants. It is specifically devoted to the analysis of severe accidents. Although the publication does not explicitly differentiate between various reactor types, it has been written on the basis of the available knowledge and databases developed for light water reactors (LWRs). Its application is ther…

This publication provides a description of the elements which should be addressed by the team responsible for the preparation, development and implementation of a plant specific accident management programme at a nuclear power plant. The issues addressed include formation of the team, selection of accident management strategies, safety analyses required, evaluation of the performance of plant s…
This report provides guidance for conducting seismic safety evaluation programmes for existing nuclear power plants in a manner consistent with internationally recognized practice. It will be useful for regulatory organizations and other organizations responsible for the implementation of seismic safety evaluation programmes.
This book was born from an ideal thought about security in the world, especially regarding the security of alternative life without nuclear deterrence. The question of nuclear, will always be faced with humans, technology and its use. There are writings with different perspectives. Starting from the military, economics, political psychology, law and even religion (MM). Keyword: nuclear deter…
