This Safety Guide makes recommendations concerning the regulatory process for controlling the discharge of liquid and gaseous effluents to the environment from normal controlled operations of practices in which radioactive material is used.
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on meeting the requirements, including those established in Safety Standards Series No. NS-R-1, Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design, for the development of programmes for radiation protection and for the management of radioactive waste at nuclear power plants.
This Safety Requirements publication establishes the requirements for the legal and governmental infrastructure in respect of a range of facilities and activities, including nuclear facilities, sources of ionizing radiation, management of radioactive waste and transport of radioactive material. It covers development of the legal framework for establishing a regulatory body and other actions to …
This publication, Safety Standards Series No. TS-R-1, is an updated version of Safety Standards Series No. ST-1, which was a revised version of Safety Series No. 6 superseding all previous edition. It also includes the revision of Safety Series No. 80, Schedules of Requirements for the Transport of Specified Types of Radioactive Material Consignments (As Amended in 1990). These Regulations, fir…
This report provides detailed information on the handling, processing and storage techniques most widely used and recommended for waste from non-fuel-cycle activities, i.e. radioactive waste generated during the application of nuclear techniques and radioisotopes in industry, medicine, research and education. The report was designed to meet mainly the needs of developing countries by focusing o…
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…
The IAEA has the specific statutory function within the United Nations system of establishing standards of safety for the protection of health against exposure to ionizing radiation. As part of this mandate, the IAEA has issued Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, and has also established the Transport Safety Appraisal Service (TranSAS) to carry out, at the request of Sta…
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 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…
