This Safety Requirements publication was prepared under the IAEA programme on Safety Standards for Nuclear Installations. It establishes requirements and provides criteria for ensuring safety in site evaluation for nuclear installations. The Safety Guides on site evaluation listed in the references section provide recommendations on how to meet the requirements established in this Safety Requir…
This publication presents the outcomes of an IAEA coordinated research project on assessing the national economic effects of nuclear programmes in participating Member States. It provides a short description of the extended input–output model for sustainable power generation (EMPOWER), developed by the IAEA, and presents concise summaries of its applications. It further includes the results p…
Training is an important tool to achieve and maintain the required competence of personnel working in nuclear facilities. Effective training and qualification of personnel are necessary for the achievement of high safety and efficiency standards in nuclear facility performance. Training and qualification combined is a key feature of the integrated management systems of nuclear facilities. It is…
Decommissioning of fast reactors and other sodium bearing facilities is a domain in which considerable experience has been accumulated. This publication arises from an IAEA technical meeting convened to address decommissioning experience with fast reactors, in particular with regard to the decommissioning of components after sodium draining. Experience gained from the decommissioning of both ac…
An increasing number of nuclear facilities are coming to the end of their useful lives and are being, or are going to be, decommissioned with a view to removing the sites from regulatory control. In many cases, decommissioning activities include the decontamination of land, buildings and other structures such as underground pipes and tanks, or ponds, at the site that became contaminated as a re…
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…
This Safety Report compares the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GS-R-3, The Management System for Facilities and Activities, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications (ASME NQA-1-2008, NQA-1a-2009). It identifies the similarities and differences between them and provides information and guidance to a…
This book consist : Introduction; Brief description of accidents; Major causes of accidents and lessons learned; and Prevention and remedial actions. (Jml)
This Standard provides requirements and guidelines for the establishment and execution of quality assurance programs during siting, design, construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. This Standard reflects industry experience and current understanding of the quality assurance requirements necessary to achieve safe, reliable, and efficient utilization of nuclear energy, a…
This document is a summary of the outline of the safety regulation administration of nuclear facilities as well as various data on the commercial nuclear power reactor facilities, research and development nuclear power reactor facilities, facrication facilities, reprocessing facilities, and disposal facilities, in fiscal year 2009 (from April 2009 to March 2010). we sincerely hope this document…
