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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

La Guia para el uso de sedimentos en la reconstruccion historica de la contaminacion en zonas costeras presenta los metodos, procedimientos operacionales y recomendaciones practicas para el muestreo, la preparacion y la fechacion de perfiles sedimentarios mediante los radionucleidos 210Pb y 137Cs.
