Guidelines on Meteorological and Hydrological Aspects of Siting and Operation of Nuclear Power Plants (WMO-No. 550)
Meteorology and hydrology play an important role in the understanding of the basic criteria for the siting of nuclear power plant and in applying protective measures for their operations. In order to provide advice on this matter, the WMO Secretariat, at the request of the Executive Council, arranged for the preparation of a Technical Note aimed at practising meteorologists and hydrologists of countries faced with the task of installing nuclear power plants.
Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050

Joint Radiation Emergency Management Plan of the International Organizations EPR-JPLAN (2010) : emergency Preparedness and Response
IAEA, 2010Pursuant to the obligations placed on it by the Conventions, the IAEA regularly convenes the Inter-Agency Committee on Response to Nuclear Accidents (IACRNA)2, whose purpose is to co-ordinate the arrangements of the relevant international intergovernmental organizations (‘international organizations’) for preparing for and responding to nuclear or radiological emergencies. Although the Conventions assign specific response functions and responsibilities to the IAEA and the Parties, various international organizations have — by virtue of their statutory functions or of related legal instruments ...

Advances in Isotope Hydrology and its Role in Sustainable Water Resources Management (IHS-2007) : Proceedings of a Symposium held in Vienna, 21-25 May 2007. Vol.2
IAEA, 2008Historically, the IAEA has played a key role in advancing isotope techniques and in promoting the use of isotopes to address water resource sustainability issues worldwide. The quadrennial IAEA symposia continue to be an important component of the IAEA's mission in water resources management. The 12th symposium in the series was convened with the objectives of: reviewing the state of the art in isotope hydrology; outlining recent developments in the application of isotope techniques to water resources management; and identifying future trends and developments for research and applications. The ...

Considerations for Waste Minimization at the Design Stage of Nuclear Facilities
IAEA, 2008 (Technical Reports Series-No. 460)This report identifies and outlines issues for consideration during the design and operation of nuclear facilities to minimize waste generation, facilitate future decommissioning and optimize management of decommissioning waste and material. It is aimed at the broad range of experts involved in the planning, design, construction and operation of new nuclear facilities or the modification of existing facilities. The principles discussed are applicable to all types and classes of nuclear facility dealing with radioactive material. While plant designs will continue to mature and evolve, the waste ...
Chernobyl: Looking Back to Go Forward Proceedings of an International Conference held in Vienna, 6-7 September 2005
IAEA, 2008Although the Chernobyl accident occurred two decades ago, much controversy remains concerning its real impact. These proceedings present the findings and recommendations of the Chernobyl Forum and the discussions held during the international conference "Chernobyl: Looking Back to Go Forwards" held in Vienna in September 2005. The Chernobyl Forum was a project initiated in 2003 by the IAEA, in cooperation with FAO, UNDP, UNEP, UN-OCHA, UNSCEAR, WHO and the World Bank as well as the competent authorities of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, to find consensus on the environmental cons ...
Naturally occurring radioactive material : (NORM V) : proceedings of the fifth International symposium on naturally occuring radioactive material, organized by the University of Seville ... [et al.] and held in Seville, 19-22 March 2007
IAEA, 2008The NORM V symposium, which was attended by 200 participants from 40 countries, was held exactly one decade after the first symposium in the series and provided an important opportunity to review the many developments that had taken place over this period. It also coincided with various current initiatives to review and revise international recommendations and standards
on radiation protection and safety. The proceedings contain all 37 oral presentations and four rapporteur reports, as well as a summary that concludes with the main findings of the symposium. Text versions of 46 poster p ...
International Evaluation of Neutron Cross-Section Standards
IAEA, 2007Cross-section standards are required to be of high quality and accuracy to form the foundation of a wide range of important nuclear measurements and evaluations for both energy and non-energy applications. They constitute the yardstick for all other nuclear physics measurements. These standards have been re-assessed and evaluated to make significant improvements in the data, and to take into account important new experimental data and improved evaluation techniques. The methods employed were the most sophisticated ever used in cross-section evaluations. These present standards are more accurat ...
Database of Prompt Gamma Rays from Slow Neutron Capture for Elemental Analysis
IAEA, 2007Neutron-capture prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) is particularly valuable as a non-destructive nuclear method in the measurement of elements that do not form neutron capture products with delayed gamma ray emissions. Inaccurate and incomplete data have been a significant hindrance in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of complicated capture gamma spectra by means of PGAA. This database was produced to improve the quality and quantity of required data in order to make possible the reliable application of PGAA in fields such as materials science, geology, mining, archaeology, envir ...
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.
