This publication provides guidelines for evaluating the engineering safety aspects of the protection of nuclear power plants against sabotage. The guidance, which is the result of extensive dialogue among safety and security specialists, takes into account the existing robustness of structures, systems and components and emphasizes those aspects of sabotage protection that work synergistically …
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…
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…
The global nuclear safety and security framework (GNSSF) provides a conceptual structure and guidelines for achieving and maintaining a high level of safety and security at nuclear facilities and in nuclear related activities around the world. Technical and scientific support organizations (TSOs) play an essential role in sustaining the GNSSF by providing assistance to regulatory bodies in esta…
As societies evolve and citizens have increasingly easy access to more information, stakeholder engagement has become recognized as a growing area of strategic value for the development of nuclear programmes. Nuclear science and technology often face unique challenges with regard to public understanding and acceptance. It is generally recognized that nuclear technologies contribute significantl…

A serious radiological accident occurred in Istambul, Turkey, in December 1998 and January 1999 when two packages used to transport 60Co teletherapy sources were sold as scrap metal. The persons who purchased the two packages opened them and broke open the shielded containers, thereby unknowingly exposing themselves and several others to radiation from at least one unshielded 60Co source. the…
