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…
The IAEA has the specific statutory function within the United Nations system of establishing standards of safety for the protection of health against exposure to ionizing radiation. As part of this mandate, the IAEA has issued Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, and has also established the Transport Safety Appraisal Service (TranSAS) to carry out, at the request of Sta…
During processing, radioactive waste is converted into waste packages and sent for storage and ultimately for disposal. A principal condition for acceptance of a waste package for storage or disposal is its full compliance with waste acceptance criteria for disposal or storage. To declare compliance of a waste package with waste acceptance criteria, a system for generating and maintaining recor…
This publication provides an overview of the practical aspects related to the implementation of programmes for protection of people and the environment from radiological effects of authorized radioactive discharges. It includes a description of the main processes involved in setting discharge authorizations and presents examples of current practice drawn from national experiences in activities …
This Safety Guide provides recommendations and guidance on the fulfilment of the safety requirements on management of radioactive waste. It covers the roles and responsibilities of different bodies involved in the predisposal management of radioactive waste and in the handling and processing of radioactive material. It is intended for organizations generating and handling radioactive waste or h…
This manual has been produced as part of the IAEA’s Action Plan for the Safety of Radiation Sources and Security of Radioactive Material. It is intended to: assist in the recognition and identification of objects thought to be radioactive devices, sources and transport packages; provide instruction on what to do and how to obtain further help; enhance awareness of the existence of radioactive…
This report considers a variety of circumstances that may require corrective actions to be assessed or implemented at near surface disposal facilities. The circumstances leading to the corrective actions, or the corrective actions themselves, may be of either a technical or a non-technical nature. Methodologies that can be employed to implement effective solutions to problems are discussed, inc…
This is the third National Report by the Republic of Indonesia. As reported in previous National Report and Review Meeting, the decision of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to ratify “the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management”, as ratified by the President Regulation No. 84/2010 on 28 December 2010, clearly demon…
A D value is the quantity of radioactive material which is considered a dangerous source. A dangerous source is one that, if uncontrolled, could result in death or a permanent injury which decreases that person’s quality of life. Various IAEA documents concerning emergency preparedness and safety and security of radioactive sources list D values for a limited set of radionuclides. This docume…
This highly successful manual has served for nearly three decades as the definitive guide to the safe use of radioactive materials. Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition presents a new dimension by adding coverage of nonionizing radiation, and is thus concerned with the entire field of radiation protection. The author takes the novel approach of introducing the whole range of en…
