The distribution and estimation of heavy rains in tropical cyclones and their effects on flooding are, however, not discussed, since these aspects are considered in the IAEA Safety Guides 50-SG-S10A, 50-SG-S10B and 50-SG-S 11 A.
This report is a guide for designers, operators and regulatory bodies responsible for evaluating the potential consequences of a large primary to secondary leakage accident in WWER-440 reactors. Specific attention is paid to the modelling of such an accident and to resulting safety issues.
This Safety Guide addresses the subject of how to meet the requirements for decommissioning of nuclear power plants and research reactors. It provides guidance to national authorities and operating organizations on the planning and safe management of the decommissioning of such installations.
This report discusses the means and principal issues for the development of a nuclear economic performance international system, with the purpose of enhancing nuclear power plant competitiveness. It addresses the major transformations occurring in the electricity generation industry to achieve operation and maintenance (O&M) cost reductions and is therefore primarily intended for nuclear power …
This publication provides information about the master curve approach for assessing the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) under current and future operation and accident conditions in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This direct measurement of fracture toughness approach is technically superior to the correlative and indirect methods used in the past to assess irradiated RPV i…
This report replaces Technical Reports Series No. 239, Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control: A Guidebook (1984), in particular by changing the emphasis from guidance to summarizing operating experience and discussing new technologies. It provides an up to date overview of nuclear power plant instrumentation and control technology and the background against which such systems are impl…
The need for detailed guidance in the performance and review of accident analysis for WWER nuclear power plants has been identified as a priority within the IAEA Extrabudgetary Programme on Safety of WWER and RBMK NPPs. The present guidelines were developed through the organization of three consultants meetings in 1994 and 1995. The guidelines deal with the transient and accident analysis re…
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…
