Artificial sources of radiation are commonly used in the manufacturing and service industries, research institutions and universities, and the nuclear power industry.

Presents a modular approach to the design of waste processing and storage facilities to address the needs of such Member States with a cost effective and flexible solution that allows easy adjustment to changing needs in terms of capacity and variety of waste streams.

Describes the potential radionuclide production routes using cyclotrons in different energy ranges and provides methods for the development of targets and provides details of the chemistry for the separation of radionuclides from target materials.

Draws on data and results collated during an IAEA coordinated research project on optimizing soil, water and nutrient use efficiency in integrated cropping-livestock production systems. The main objective was to enhance food security, improve soil fertility, and mitigate greenhouse gases from agriculture using integrated cropping-livestock systems.

Presents the material properties of all unirradiated Uranium-Molybdenum (U-Mo) fuel constituents that are essential for fuel designers and reactor operators to evaluate the fuel's performance and safety for research reactors.

This publication is the outcome of two technical meetings and compiles the results and conclusions in terms of benefits to be obtained from the use of high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel, with due consideration of safety issues that arise from its use.

Provides current information on considerations about environmental impact assessments (EIAs) related to small modular reactors. Under many regulatory regimes, the EIA report is a prerequisite for licensing and an important tool to confirm that the potential site is suitable for the future construction and operation of a reactor.

New geochemical and mineralogical data from research conducted under an IAEA coordinated research project has resulted in a better understanding of the genesis of uranium and thorium mineralization. This publication presents a summary of the research and selected papers from the project's partners.

Describes several available techniques with sealed radioactive sources, by showing examples of their use in industrial applications and by demonstrating how they can be used to improve process efficiency and to save money. The focus is on two major techniques with sealed radioactive sources: gamma scanning and neutron backscattering.

Addresses the sustainability of all aspects of a national nuclear security regime, including those relating to nuclear material and nuclear facilities, other radioactive material and associated facilities, and nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control.

Describes a variety of nuclear techniques and applications, such as those in the fields of environment and health, industrial processes, non-destructive testing, forensic and archaeological investigations and cosmochemistry, and in method validation. The descriptive articles demonstrate the advantages of nuclear techniques.

Provides recommendations on specific safety measures to meet the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3 and other relevant Safety Requirements publications on the use of X ray generators and other types of radiation sources that are used for inspection purposes and for non-medical human imaging.

Presents the proceedings of a workshop on the remediation of radioactive contamination in agriculture. The workshop brought together specialists from different countries and technical backgrounds and sought to disseminate research findings and encourage future studies.

Provides technical and scientific information regarding the radiation monitoring, radio-ecological research and management of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant cooling pond. The report focuses on the environmental and radiological conditions after the pond drawdown, as a basis for justification of the remediation strategy for the pond.

Addresses costs arising during individual phases of an environmental remediation project, how they can be calculated, and how they can be structured and documented. Thuis guide provides the methodology of cost estimation and includes examples of cost estimate models, development plans, cost elements and work breakdown structures.

Provides recommendations on meeting the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No SSR-2/1 (Rev 1). The guide addresses the containment structure and the systems with the functions of isolation, control and management of mass and energy releases, control and limitation of radioactive releases, and control and management of combustible gases.

Describes differences in post-accident situations compared with normal decommissioning (i.e. decommissioning after a planned final shutdown) and identifies significant decision factors as applicable. This publication focuses on the on-site decommissioning aspects of a technical nature, which need to be addressed after a nuclear accident.

Focuses on the storage of spent nuclear fuel from power reactors - a topic of increasing importance to Member States. To support their needs, the IAEA has carried out successive coordinated research projects on spent fuel performance and the behaviour of spent fuel assemblies in storage since the 1980s. This publication consolidates their findings.

Details how the TC programme has contributed to the establishment of national nuclear infrastructure and capabilities. The publication also presents examples of successful partnerships and looks to the future regarding appropriate approaches and concrete measures that will help countries to maximize their use of nuclear science.

Provides information on detailed methodologies and examples in the application of volcanic hazard assessment to site evaluation for nuclear installations. It demonstrates the practicability of evaluating the recommendations through a systematic volcanic hazard assessment and examples from member states.

Quality assurance is a crucial part of all aspects of nuclear medicine practice. The objective of this publication is to provide professionals in nuclear medicine centres with detailed quality control test procedures for the scintillation camera and computer system.

This publication is a revision and combination of two Safety Guides, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. NS-G-1.1 and No. NS-G-1.3. The revision takes into account developments in instrumentation and control (I&C) systems since the publication of the earlier Safety Guides.

Describes an evaluation approach to determine a Member State's status in implementing the infrastructure areas necessary for a nuclear power plant project. It has been written to be used by any interested Member State for self-evaluation as well as for external reviews with the participation of the IAEA and of independent external experts.

Discusses the barriers that prevent the implementation of decommissioning and environmental remediation (D&ER) projects and provides potential solutions to overcome the identified barriers and thereby facilitate a better implementation of D&ER programmes.

Describes an algorithm developed to determine the recommended staffing levels for clinical medical physics services in medical imaging and radionuclide therapy, based on current best practice, as described in international guidelines.

Provides guidance on assessing of sustainability of a nuclear energy system (NES) in the area of environmental impact of stressors. The INPRO methodology is a comprehensive tool for the assessment of sustainability of an NES. Basic principles, user requirements and criteria are defined in different areas of the INPRO methodology.
