Electric Grid Reliability and Interface with Nuclear Power PlantsIAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-T-3.8 This publication describes the characteristics of the electrical grid system that are required for the connection and successful operation of a nuclear power plant, as well as the characteristics of a nuclear power plant that are significant for the design and operation of the electrical grid system. It addresses the issues to be considered when a nuclear power plant is being planned and describes the information exchange necessary between the developer of a nuclear power plant and the organization responsible for the electrical grid. The particular issue of a large nuclear unit connected with a small system is also discussed. A new topic introduced in this publication is the need for cyber security of the grid system near the nuclear power plant. Several case studies of Member States’ experience in developing new nuclear units and about grid events during operation are included. |
Radiotherapy in Palliative Cancer Care: Development and ImplementationIAEA Human Health Reports No. 2 Palliative care is increasingly recognized as an important component of quality care for cancer patients. Improving access to, and availability and quality of, comprehensive palliative care in cancer treatment is an important and ongoing global challenge. This publication focuses on radiotherapy as a major tool and gives summaries of current approaches in palliative radiotherapy and care. It describes the steps needed to enhance access to and quality of care, and to incorporate palliative radiotherapy and palliative care within an integrated multidisciplinary approach. It is hoped that this publication will be a resource for administrators, specialists and teachers working to improve the management of palliative care and radiotherapy for patients. |

Project Management in Nuclear Power Plant Construction: Guidelines and ExperienceIAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NP-T-2.7 Project management is a leadership function primarily concerned with the organization, coordination and control of large undertakings, with the aim of achieving technical excellence, by working to quality standards, by optimizing the schedule, the supply chain and by minimizing costs. Competent project management can reduce costs through more efficient work sequences, higher productivity, shorter activity durations and the parallel reduction of accumulated interest during construction of nuclear power plants. Based on past proven practices in Member States, this publication provides advice and guidelines to project management from the preparatory phase to plant turnover to commissioning of nuclear power plants. The guidelines and experiences will enable project managers to obtain better performance in nuclear power plant construction. |

Application of Radiotracer Techniques for Interwell StudiesIAEA Radiation Technology Series No. 3 The main purpose of interwell tracer tests in oil and geothermal reservoirs is to monitor qualitatively and quantitatively the injected fluid connections between injection and production wells and to provide important data for better understanding the reservoir geology in order to optimize the production strategy and thereby maximize the oil recovery or thermal energy production. Most of the information given by the radiotracer tests cannot be obtained by other means. Based on the key findings of an IAEA coordinated research project in this area, this publication describes the principles and the state-of-the-art of radiotracer techniques for interwell investigations, provides practical guidance on the design and implementation of tracer experiments as well as interpretation of the results. |
