This report deals with radon and thoron and their decay products in workplaces other than mines. It is intended for use in the application of radiation protection principles in those workplaces where employers may not have an extensive background in radiation protection. It provides practical information on action levels for workplaces, on monitoring techniques and on actions aimed at reducing …
This safety practice report provides guidance on conducting a Level 1 PSA for internal events in nuclear power plants. The main emphasis is on the procedural steps of the PSA rather than the details of the corresponding methods. The report is intended to assist technical persons managing or performing PSAs. A particular aim is to promote a standardized framework, terminology and form of documen…
This Safety Guide recommends actions, conditions and procedures in relation to external human induced events and provides guidance for fulfilling the requirements of Safety Standards Series No. NS-R-3, Site Evaluation for Nuclear Installations, when conducting a site evaluation for a nuclear power plant.
This book consist : Introduction; Basic principles for structuring, staffing and documenting the organization for quality assurance; Organizational structure of the responsible organization; Organization of the plant disgners; Organization of manufacturers and constructors; and Record. (Jml)
This Safety Report updates IAEA Safety Series No. 39, Safe Handling of Plutonium (1974), and provides an overview of modern practices for handling and storing separated plutonium. It provides descriptions of plutonium and its properties, and of the biological effects on humans of plutonium. The principles underlying the safe design and operation of plutonium handling/storage facilities and the …
Zircon has economic importance as a raw material in its own right and also as a feedstock for the manufacture of zirconia (zirconium dioxide), zirconium chemicals and zirconium metal. The geological processes that formed zircon led to the incorporation of radionuclides of natural origin into the crystal structure. The presence of these radionuclides is not significant enough to be of any commer…
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 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…
