Energy is a key input for most human activities. It represents an engine for socioeconomic development and is vital for the provision of basic public services such as health care, education, clean water and sanitation. A lack of access to a reliable, affordable and modern energy supply is a major challenge to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals1 (SDGs) [1].
An example of a limited scope INPRO sustainability assessment of an innovative nuclear energy system used the BN-1200 fast reactor as a case study. The INPRO assessment was performed at the full-depth criteria level and helped to identify actions for sustainable long term deployment of sodium cooled fast reactors. The publication describes the application of the INPRO sustainability assessment …
INPRO is an international project to help ensure that nuclear energy is available to contribute in a sustainable manner to meeting the energy needs of the 21st century. This publication is part of Phase 2 of INPRO and provides a summary of seven nuclear energy assessment (NESA) studies that document the application of the INPRO methodology in national nuclear power programmes, in specific desig…
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…
Proceedings of a conference, Sydney, Australia, 18–22 April 1988. The purpose of the conference was to exchange views on the principles of radiation protection, to highlight issues of current importance, to examine the problems encountered in applying the principles of radiation protection and, where possible, to identify generic solutions. The important topics covered were the interface betw…
The IAEA Safeguards Glossary 2001 Edition reflects recent advances in the strengthening of the IAEA safeguards system. It aims at facilitating the understanding of the specialized safeguards terminology within the international community. The glossary comprises 13 sections, each addressing a specific subject related to IAEA safeguards. The terms used have been translated into the official langu…
This book focuses on the latest reactor concepts, single pass core and experimental findings in thermal hydraulics, materials, corrosion, and water chemistry. It highlights research on supercritical-pressure light water cooled reactors (SCWRs), one of the Generation IV reactors that are studied around the world. This book includes cladding material development and experimental findings on heat …
