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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
