n 17 June 1997 a physicist working as a senior technician at the Nuclear Centre, Sarov, in the Russian Federation, was severely exposed as a result of a criticality accident with an assembly of highly enriched uranium. The exposure, which caused a high neutron radiation dose, led to death within three days despite prompt medical attention. This is the first report that the IAEA has published on…
Nuclear energy has a much wider potential than being used solely for the generation of electricity. This publication concentrates on the market potential and economics of the nuclear option in district heating, the supply of process heat, water desalination, ship propulsion and outer space applications. In addition, there is an overview of innovative but promising areas for its use, such as fue…
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…
The NG-T-3.7 nuclear energy series collection is a collection that discusses Managing Siting Activities for Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). The subject matter in this standard is divided into 6 chapters covering introduction, nuclear power program framework, management of siting activities, criteria for selecting and assessing NPP sites, methodology, and stakeholder involvement. This collection was…
This collection is a special collection of safety report series number 69. Published by IAEA in 2012. This collection is about comparison between IAEA GS-R-3 And ISO 9001:2008. Some of the topics discussed include a review of the two standards to their differences and correlations. Also equipped with a comparison table of the two in accordance with the contents of the two standards (MM). Key…
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…
