Presents a compilation of the main results and findings of an IAEA coordinated research project (CRP). In particular, it discusses an innovative variation of neutron activation analysis (NAA) known as large sample NAA (LSNAA). There is no other way to measure the bulk mass fractions of the elements present in a large sample (up to kilograms in mass) non-destructively.

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.

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.

Provides information on the use of the Systematic Assessment of Regulatory Competence Needs methodology to support the implementation of the IAEA safety standards for ensuring regulatory competence in respect of radiation facilities and activities.

Provides information on the background, programme and methodology of the Nuclear Law Institute (NLI), and its impact on Member States. Reflection on current topics, trends and developments in international and national nuclear law to which the NLI has contributed through the past decade is also included.

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