The IAEA facilitated International Nuclear Management Academy (INMA) supports universities to establish and deliver master’s degree programmes focusing on technology management for the nuclear sector including nuclear power programmes, nuclear applications and radiological technologies. The current publication provides guidance for these master’s programmes that have a specialized focus on …
To address the challenges posed by climate change, and to achieve the goals established in the 2015 Paris Agreement, nuclear power has been identified to have great potential to contribute to the 1.5°C climate change mitigation target. This topical conference on climate change and the role of nuclear power, the first of its kind, served as a unique forum for exchanging science-based informatio…
Safety requirements for the design of containment systems are presented in a generic form. The various functions of confinement, isolation, energy management, radionuclide management and combustible gas control as well as the structural and leak integrity are covered. Annexes provide examples for the most common design solutions and other aspects.
This book consist : Introduction; Design principles; Postulated initiating events; and Design features. (Jml)
This publication states the fundamental safety objective and ten associated safety principles, and briefly describes their intent and purpose. The fundamental safety objective — to protect people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation — applies to all circumstances that give rise to radiation risks. The safety principles are applicable, as relevant, throughout the en…
This Safety Guide addresses the subject of how to meet the requirements for the decommissioning of medical, industrial and research facilities where radioactive materials and sources are produced, received, used and stored. It provides guidance to national authorities and operating organizations, particularly to those in developing countries (as such facilities are predominant in these countrie…
The purpose of this series of annually published volumes of which the earlier issues were supplements to the Nuclear Fusion journal is to publish original contributions and review articles containing high quality data on the atomic and plasma-material interaction processes of interest to thermonuclear fusion research. The scientific scope of the series includes the topics of elementary ato…
This volume presents recent progress in the improvement of the nuclear database needed for the development of Generation IV nuclear energy systems. The Generation IV International Forum (GIF) identified six advanced concepts for sustainable nuclear energy production at competitive prices and with advanced safety, with special attention to nuclear non-proliferation and physical protection iss…
INSAG has prepared this report in accordance with its terms of reference “to formulate, where possible, commonly shared safety concepts”. The understanding and application of these safety principles should improve safety and benefit everyone, especially those in countries that use or intend to use nuclear power as an energy source
This Safety Guide provides guidance and recom m endations on surveillance activities to ensure that structures, systems and com ponents im portant to safety are available to perform their functions in accordance w ith design intent and assumptions. The Guide was prepared as part of the IAEA’s programme, referred to as the NUSS Programme, for establishing Codes of Practice and Safety Guides re…
