Ageing Management and Maintenance of Packages for the Transport of Radioactive Material
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
697 kr
Kommande
Each package used for the transport of radioactive material must demonstrate compliance with the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-6, particularly for international shipments. This new safety guide provides recommendations to support compliance with the requirement related to the ageing of transport packages, specifically addressing ageing management and maintenance. The guide applies to all package types containing radioactive material–including excepted packages, Type IP-1, IP-2, and IP-3, Type A, Type B(U), Type B(M), and Type C packages, as well as those containing fissile material or uranium hexafluoride (UF6). It covers all activities throughout the service life of transport packages where ageing management and maintenance should be considered. A graded approach is used, tailored to the type of package and its intended use e.g. single transport, repeated use, or shipment after storage. Effective ageing management helps prevent degradation that could compromise package integrity, while regular maintenance ensures ongoing compliance with safety standards. These practices not only reduce the risk of incidents during transport but also support the long-term sustainability of transport activities, protect workers and the public, and reinforce confidence in regulatory compliance and operational excellence. This safety guide offers practical recommendations to support consistent and effective implementation, helping stakeholders strengthen the safety and reliability of transport operations involving radioactive material throughout the service life of packages.

Guidelines for the Determination of Standardized Semiconductor Radiation Hardness Parameters
Häftad, Engelska, 2023
553 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The operational useful lifetime of semiconductor electronic devices working in harsh radiation environments is limited by the structural defects induced by the exposure to ionizing radiation. This has immediate consequences for their use in high radiation environments, for example in nuclear facilities, satellites, radiotherapy, medical diagnostics, security and other industries. This publication establishes a standardized procedure to quantify the radiation hardness of semiconductor diode materials in a way that is independent of the irradiation parameters and biasing conditions of the device. The established parameter reflects the additional free charge carrier trapping cross section induced by the damaging radiation, normalized to the predicted concentration of generated vacancies by the same radiation. The effectiveness of the approach is validated through different types of ion beam irradiations, characterizations and materials used. The work leads towards approaches to predict the radiation induced effects on device performance for more complex electronic structures.

Integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has evolved since its introduction into the commercial market more than a decade ago. It is now a key procedure, particularly in oncological imaging. Over the last years in routine clinical service, PET/CT has had a significant impact on diagnosis, treatment planning, staging, therapy, and monitoring of treatment response and has therefore played an important role in the care of cancer patients. The high sensitivity from the PET component and the specificity of the CT component give this hybrid imaging modality the unique characteristics that make PET/CT, even after over 10 years of clinical use, one of the fastest growing imaging modalities worldwide. This publication combines over 90 comprehensive cases covering all major indications of fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-PET/CT as well as some cases of clinically relevant special tracers. The cases provide an overview of what the specific disease can look like in PET/CT, the typical pattern of the disease’s spread as well as likely pitfalls and teaching points. This PET/CT Atlas will allow professionals interested in PET/CT imaging to embrace the variety of oncological imaging by providing clinically relevant teaching files on the effectiveness and diagnostic quality of FDG-PET/CT imaging in routine applications.

With the increased level of investigation into uranium deposits in recent years, a wealth of new information has become available, which has made it possible to investigate some of the least understood aspects of uranium metallogeny. This publication defines a new classification scheme, which is simple and descriptive, but flexible enough to encompass the recent advances in our understanding of uranium geology and deposit genesis. It contains improved definition of the deposit types, supported by type examples of those deposits for which good data are available, but not well described in previous literature. Along with the descriptive information, new data on uranium resources available for each deposit type are also provided.

Approaches to Operating Nuclear Power Plants to Mitigate Production Losses Caused by Climate Change and Environmental Hazards
Häftad, Engelska, 2026

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Climate change is reshaping the environmental context in which nuclear power plants operate. Nuclear power plants are built with robust safety and design margins informed by historical meteorological and hydrological data, as well as by lessons learned from past events. Weather related and environmental events may trigger protective actions, reducing output and in some cases necessitating shutdowns, though the resulting global production losses have generally remained modest. With increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, along with rising average temperatures, shifting water availability and other environmental hazards, the need for adaptation becomes clearer to operating organizations. This publication offers a practical, forward-looking framework for the climate adaptation of production related assets at nuclear power plants, grounded in real world experience and informed by international references. Potential adaptation measures include engineering upgrades, operational improvements and organizational strategies to reduce vulnerability, enhance response capabilities and build resilience. The publication is intended for operating organizations and teams responsible for asset performance, design changes, plant operation, and climate adaptation.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This publication presents the outcomes of The International Project on Demonstration of Safety for Geological Disposal (GEOSAF Project), implemented by the IAEA from 2013 to 2021. It outlines an approach for addressing the relationship between the operational phase and the post-closure safety of a geological disposal facility and demonstrates how safety considerations can support decision making. The structured approach developed aims to provide assurance that developing and operating a geological disposal facility over several decades will not compromise its expected post-closure safety functions and the overall safety of that facility. To this end, this TECDOC defines and further develops the key concepts of the safety envelope, the design target, and the as-built state.

Nuclear material accounting and control (NMAC) works in a complementary fashion with the international safeguards programme and physical protection systems to help prevent, deter or detect the unauthorized acquisition and use of nuclear materials. These three methodologies are employed by Member States to defend against external threats, internal threats and both State actors and non-State actors. This publication offers guidance for implementing NMAC measures for nuclear security at the nuclear facility level. It focuses on measures to mitigate the risk posed by insider threats and describes elements of a programme that can be implemented at a nuclear facility in coordination with the physical protection system for the purpose of deterring and detecting unauthorized removal of nuclear material.
