This book describes essential and effective management for reliably ensuring public safety from radioactive wastes in Japan. This is the first book to cover many aspects of wastes from the nuclear fuel cycle to research and medical use, allowing readers to understand the characterization, treatment and final disposal of generated wastes, performance assessment, institutional systems, and social…
This IAEA publication provides guidance on the inclusion of safeguards considerations in nuclear facility design and construction. This first volume introduces the basic principles of safeguards by design and discusses the goals, costs and rewards, and places the information into the context of nuclear facility design and construction. Benefits and opportunities for all stakeholders are emphasi…
Higher education plays an essential role in nuclear security capacity building. It ensures the availability of experts able to provide the necessary competencies for effective national nuclear security oversight of nuclear and other radioactive material and to establish and maintain an appropriate nuclear regime in a State. This publication presents both the theoretical knowledge and the practi…
Reliable methods for estimating the cost of a radioactive waste disposal programme are crucial to ensure that the necessary funding for completing the disposal programme is available. Estimating the cost for disposal is however a challenging and complex task. Disposal programmes themselves are complex and long-term undertakings and conditions can be expected to change significantly over the tim…
In 1991, the International Atomic Energy Agency published Training Course Series No. 1 (TCS-1), a training manual that provides in 20 chapters a detailed discussion of the background, philosophy, technical bases and requirements and implementation aspects of the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. The Transport Regulations are widely implemented by the IAEA's Member Stat…
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…
