Specifies a method designed to check the long-term stability of a solid to alpha disintegration by detection of all modifications in the properties of an irradiated sample. The solid is borosilicate glass or, as an alternative, ceramics or glass-ceramics and a two-phase mixture of glass beads dispersed in a metal matrix, made from adequate (stable) fission product elements spiked with appropria…
The development of stabilization and solidification techniques in the field of waste treatment reflects the efforts to better protect human health and the environment with modern advances in materials and technology. Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive information including case studies, selection criteria, and regulatory considera…

The purpose of this Report is to review the current status of the application of radionuclide transport models from the point of discharge to the environment to the point of intake by man. This process, called radiological assessment, begins by defining the quantity of radionuclides that are released and enter the environment. Uncertainties in the measurements or estimates of the source term ar…
During meetings on the development and approval of the non-legally binding Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources (hereinafter referred to as the Code), some Member States requested guidance on implementing the Code, particularly in relation to the import and export of radioactive sources. Therefore, this non-legally binding Guidance was developed in 2004 by Member St…
Man’s environment is pervaded by ionizing radiation of predominantly natural origin but now with an important contribution from anthropogenic activities. Exposure to ionizing radiation can have serious health implications, which is why it is of concern to us. This book brings together under one cover, the fundamentals of radiological protection, the techniques used for measuring radioactivity…
