Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power: Developments and Projections
IAEA, 2007This publication describes, for Member States, energy experts, the media and the general public, the global and regional history of nuclear power between 1980 and 2005 as reflected in the data collected by the IAEA of the power reactor information system (PRIS) and the reference data series 1 and 2 (RDS-1, RDS-2) on the construction and operation of nuclear power plants. In this publication history is compared with IAEA projections during the same period, and the latest IAEA projections are presented to cover both the past and the future quarter centuries.
Use of chlorofluorocarbons in hydrology : a guidebook
IAEA, 2006Development of the chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) technique as a tool for dating groundwater has occurred over the past 20 years, and a number of research publications have documented its use in specific aquifers. This publication is intended to facilitate a comparative analysis of CFC and isotope techniques and a wider use of the CFC technique under appropriate conditions, by providing a description of its scientific basis, sampling and measurement methods, interpretation and limitations of data, and a variety of case studies.
Material Degradation and Related Managerial Issues of Nuclear Power Plants : Proceedings of a Technical Meeting held in Vienna, 15-18 February 2005
IAEA, 2006This publication is set within the context of current trends whereby nuclear power plants (NPPs) are extending their operation beyond their original licence period. Complexities, including the fact that older NPPs may now be in a better technological condition than when they first went into operation, are considered. This publication addresses material degradation, in particular flow accelerated corrosion, with details of past incidents. The main results and lessons learned from incidents or accidents associated with material degradation are identified wherever weaknesses in the associated man ...
Environmental Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident and their Remediation: Twenty Years of Experience : report of the UN Chernobyl Forum Expert Group "Environment"
IAEA, 2006The explosion on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the consequent reactor fire resulted in an unprecedented release of radioactive material from a nuclear reactor and adverse consequences for the public and the environment. Although the accident occurred nearly two decades ago, controversy still surrounds the real impact of the disaster. Therefore the IAEA, in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Huma ...
Managing Nuclear Knowledge : Strategies and Human Resource Development Summary of an International Conference held in Saclay, 7-10 September 2004
IAEA, 2006This conference provided a forum for professionals and decision makers in the nuclear sector, comprising industry, governments and academia as well as professionals in the knowledge management and information technology sectors. The goals of the conference were: to exchange information and share experience on nuclear knowledge management, comprising strategies, information management and human resource development, and to identify lessons learned and to embark on the development of new initiatives and concepts for nuclear knowledge management in IAEA Member States. Keynote papers delivered by ...
Effective nuclear regulatory systems : facing Safety and Security Challenges International Conference on Effective Nuclear Regulatory Systems
IAEA, 2006The very successful Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS) resulted from this effort and now has 56 Contracting Parties. Currently, regulatory authorities and the nuclear industry are facing significant new challenges, which require new strategies and oversight. The key challenges are the result of the following factors:
- Renewed global interest in the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation and, consequently, its likely expansion;
- Increased threats to the security of nuclear installations and the need to link closely security and safety issues and response capabilities;
Neutron reflectometry : a probe for materials surfaces : proceedings of a technical meeting organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency and held in Vienna, 16-20 August 2004
IAEA, 2006This publication will be of use to scientists planning to develop a neutron reflectometer at research reactors. It will also help disseminate knowledge and information to material scientists, biologists and chemists working towards characterizing and developing new materials. The IAEA thanks all the experts for their active participation in the meeting, for the manuscripts of their presentations and for their contribution in preparing the summary. Thanks are also due to A.R.Wildes from the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France, for his paper on polarized neutron reflectometry.
Topical issues in nuclear installation safety : continuous improvement of nuclear safety in a changing world : proceedings of an International Conference on Topical Issues in Nuclear Installation Safety : Continuous Improvement of Nuclear Safety in a Changing World
IAEA, 2006Events at nuclear installations continue to be reported whose root causes call into question the effectiveness of safety at those facilities. These events all have common issues that contributed to non-conservative decisions being taken or omissions in the decision process. More importantly, these events have highlighted issues within both the regulatory authorities and the operating organizations. In addition, there are unique challenges that regulatory authorities face in dealing with the changing environment and related to the long term operation of nuclear facilities.
In the light ...
Safety and security of radioactive sources : towards a global system for the continuous control of sources throughout their life cycle : proceedings of an international conference held in Bordeaux, France, 27 June-1 July 2005 /
IAEA, 2006These proceedings contain the opening addresses, the invited papers presented during the background and technical sessions and the panel discussions, and summaries of the discussions. The findings of the President of the Conference and the closing remarks are also included. The Programme Committee accepted a number of contributed papers, which were issued shortly before the conference. These contributed papers are also available on the CD-ROM that is attached at the end of this volume.
Safety of radioactive waste disposal
IAEA, 2006The conference, of which this publication is the proceedings, is the latest in the series organized by the IAEA on the subject of radioactive waste safety. Demonstrating the safety of radioactive waste disposal remains a challenging issue, from both technical and sociopolitical perspectives, and is receiving increasing scrutiny throughout the world. The conference discussed the emerging global nuclear safety regime and its implications for radioactive waste management - in particular the impact of the "Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and the Safety of Radioactive Waste ...
Environmental contamination from uranium production facilities and their remediation : proceedings of an International Workshop on Environmental Contamination from Uranium Production Facilities and their Remediation : held in Lisbon, 11-13 February 2004
IAEA, 2005The larger uranium producers have expended considerable effort and resources in dealing with this legacy. However, it has to be noted that the search for uranium covered almost all countries in the world. The result in some countries is a legacy of numerous small scale mines and mills. For economic and
other reasons, including less stringent environmental standards and lack of awareness at the time, these operations may not have been properly closed out and made safe from both a radiological as well as a general safety point of view.
It was thought that countries with this type o ...
