Presents the most recent reactor data available to the IAEA. This report contains summarized information as of the end of 2010 on power reactors that are in operation, under construction and shut down, and performance data on reactors operating in IAEA Member States, as reported to the IAEA.

These proceedings are the result of a conference on advances in radiation oncology. The aim of the conference was to discuss and define the current role and future potential of medical physics and molecular/biological innovations in routine clinical practice in radiation oncology.

Focuses on the activities required to demonstrate the suitability of commercial off the shelf (COTS) digital instrumentation and control equipment for use in nuclear safety applications. The publication provides a detailed discussion of the typical challenges associated with the use of COTS devices, including issues associated with vulnerabilities.

Provides an update on the current status of nuclear power and prospects for its contribution, together with other low carbon energy sources, to ambitious mitigation strategies that will help the world limit global warming to 1.5 DegreesC in line with the 2016 Paris Agreement.

The production of radioisotopes using particle accelerators poses significant radiation hazards when accelerators are operated without adequate radiation safety measures. This Safety Guide provides guidance for implementing radiation protection and safety measures in such facilities involved in the production and use of radioisotopes.

Focuses on ways to improve crop productivity and sustainability through water and salinity management and defines approaches and technologies to assess and monitor soil water content and salinity. The test results of a new landscape soil moisture measuring tool (cosmic ray neutron sensor) for area-wide soil water measurements are also presented.

Provides recommendations on the use of radioactive sources and radiation generators in well logging, including in the manufacture, calibration and maintenance of well logging tools. The guide provides recommendations on radiation protection and safety for the storage, use and transport of such radiation sources.

Covers the seismic safety evaluation programmes to be performed on existing nuclear installations in order to ensure that the required fundamental safety functions are available, with particular application to the safe shutdown of reactors. It includes lessons learned based on the IAEA Action Plan for Strengthening Nuclear Safety.

Presents information on experience and lessons learned from implementation of decommissioning projects for particle accelerators. Based on this information, and highlighting typical issues and concerns, the publication provides practical guidance for all those having a role in this process.

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.

An updated version of IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 9, Security of Radioactive Material in Transport, intended to facilitate the establishment of an internationally consistent approach to security of radioactive material in transport. It builds on the relevant recommendations of various existing IAEA Nuclear Security Series publications.

Presents a systematic approach to establishing and operating a national nuclear security support centre (NSSC) as a means to strengthen the sustainability of nuclear security in a State. The publication provides specific practical guidance to States, detailing a straightforward decision making and project management process.

Presents a set of examples of different approaches for estimating potential exposures in different countries based on participants' experience and considering the IAEA Safety Standard on a generic framework for consideration of radiological environmental impact, including potential exposures.

Provides guidance and recommendations to nuclear organizations by offering a practical approach to assessing the behavioural competencies for safe, secure and effective performance across the nuclear workforce. The book outlines a variety of tools and approaches that can aid behavioural assessment processes.

Presents the outcome of an IAEA coordinated research project titled Pathways to Energy from Inertial Fusion

Evaluates the different coolant options considered for nuclear applications with a fast neutron spectrum, compiles the latest information in the field and identifies research needs. In this study, systems cooled by light and heavy liquid metals, molten salts, as well as gas and water choices are analysed and discussed.

This publication is the result of an IAEA technical meeting and reports on Member States' capabilities in modelling, predicting and improving their understanding of the behaviour of nuclear fuel under accident conditions. The main results and outcomes of a coordinated research project (CRP) on this topic are also presented.

Describes the general concept of using quantitative and qualitative information to be integrated in making safety related decisions. The publication also provides practical insights on the selection of the various factors that could be included in the integrated risk informed decision making process.

Provides a description of the Rossendorf coolant mixing test facility, used to provide benchmark experiments related to the phenomena of pressurized thermal shock and boron dilution, the calculation results using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods, and the conclusions drawn from comparison of CFD results with experimental measurements.

Draws on the work carried out during an IAEA coordinated research project to benchmark computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes used in fuel assembly design and model options and methods against 'CFD quality' experimental data under single phase flow conditions.

Explains the concepts of quality assurance and quality control. The publication provides examples, illustrated by good practices, of their implementation within the processes of the management systems of nuclear facilities and describes how they are managed through interfaces with suppliers and subcontractors.

This publication results from a technical meeting on phenomenology and technologies relevant to in-vessel melt retention (IVMR) and ex-vessel corium cooling (EVCC). The purpose is to capture the state of knowledge related to phenomenology and technologies as well as the challenges and issues relevant to IVMR and EVCC for water cooled reactors.
