Experiences for Consideration in Fusion Power Plant Design Safety and Safety AssessmentIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2076 This TECDOC provides an insight into the safety considerations for prototype, demonstration and prospective commercial fusion power plants (FPPs). It gathers the experiences and perspectives of Member States and captures the safety approaches of a range of currently operating and planned experimental FFPs, as well those approaches under development for proposed FPPs. It will be used to inform the IAEA’s decision-making on the need for fusion-specific Safety Standards and design safety assessments. This TECDOC is aimed at public and private sector organisations with an interest in FFPs (including research, design, manufacture, construction, operation, regulation or technical support) and individual stakeholders involved in addressing the safety of fusion technologies. |
Identification and Categorization of Sabotage Targets, and Identification of Vital Areas at Nuclear FacilitiesIAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 48-T This publication provides detailed guidance (i) on the identification of potential sabotage targets in a nuclear facility and possible vulnerabilities that could lead to unacceptable or high radiological consequences if an initiating event of malicious origin were to take place and (ii) on the identification of vital areas in nuclear facilities. It also includes guidance to assist States in accounting for the potential risks to a facility associated with stand-off sabotage attacks. This publication is intended to be used by States, competent authorities involved in protection against the sabotage of nuclear and other radioactive material, relevant technical and scientific support organizations, as well as the operators of associated facilities and activities. |
Crop Improvement with Induced Genetic Variation to Cope with Drought in Rice and SorghumDrought is the most devastating abiotic stress factor worldwide affecting crop production: an issue that is projected to worsen with climate change. Improving drought tolerance in crops and enhancing agricultural water productivity under rain-fed conditions is therefore a critical issue for most countries. With this aim, the IAEA successfully completed a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) (D23031) in 2021 on "Improving Drought Resilience in Rice and Sorghum through Mutation Breeding". These two crops are essential staples in the diets of millions of impoverished and vulnerable populations and therefore any attempt to improve their yields under drought stress could have a major and positive impact in terms of food security and improved health and income generation. This publication contains the results of the five-year CRP and has been contributed to by 58 scientists from 7 different countries. Its intended readership is researchers, scientists, plant breeders, plant biotechnologists and other highly specialized audiences with an interest in improving drought tolerance in rice and sorghum crops using mutant lines.

World Distribution of Uranium Deposits, Third EditionIn 1995 the International Atomic Energy Agency published a hard copy map of World Distribution of Uranium Deposits, in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Canada. The map was based upon an early version of the IAEA’s uranium database UDEPO and displayed 582 deposits using a deposit classification scheme which has since been superseded. In 2018, the IAEA published a second edition of the map based on approximately 2,900 deposits from the 2016 version of the UDEPO database. The second edition of the World Distribution of Uranium Deposits map (2018, IAEA STI/PUB/1800) was intended to be a snapshot of the IAEA UDEPO database as of 2016, showing the broad global distribution of uranium deposits and genetic types. Since its publication, updates and refinements to UDEPO since 2020 have resulted in a vastly different database than the one that existed in 2016, having almost doubled in size with nearly 5300 deposits. This third edition of the World Distribution of Uranium Deposits presents new information, such as additional deposits, a broader range of deposit sizes, a revised deposit classification system and improved geological visualization information (see the map explanation, key, and legend for detailed information). The online PDF version also includes enhanced functionality with layers and query capability: In appropriate versions of Adobe Acrobat, the electronic file includes bookmarks that can be viewed at the left of the map, and are arranged into three groups: Map Views, Deposit Types and Map Peripherals that allow the user to rapidly view customised views of specific map features. The publication also includes subdivided layers that can be toggled on and off according to deposit types separately within the main map and the map insets in order to produce and print a customised map. Query functionality can be found using the View Object Data Tool, which can be accessed through Tools ? Measure in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Tools / Share & Review / Measure in Adobe Acrobat Pro. This allows the user, through three mouse clicks on a specific deposit, to show individual deposit attributes, such as the deposit name and type.

Managing Irradiated Graphite WasteIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2072 Graphite has been used as a moderator and reflector of neutrons in more than 100 nuclear power plants and in many research and plutonium-production reactors, in quantities ranging from a few kilograms to more than 3,000 tonnes, depending on the design. Many of the older reactors have now been shut down, with more approaching the end of their operating lives, and radioactive irradiated graphite have now accumulated worldwide. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of managing irradiated graphite waste provided by the members of The International Project on Irradiated Graphite Processing Approaches (GRAPA) network. This publication is intended for representatives of Member States with a programme involving the management of irradiated graphite, as well as non-governmental or international organizations that represent such programmes regionally or worldwide. |
Prospects and Achievements of the IAEA Technical Cooperation Programme in the 21st CenturyThis three volume publication provides an overview of the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s technical cooperation (TC) programme over the past two decades. It examines the programme’s achievements, presenting country overviews and case studies, programme facts and figures, and the findings of a survey conducted to measure the impact of the TC programme in the 21st century. The publication covers the wide scope of TC programme activities, from regional, thematic and Member State perspectives, to build capacity in the safe, secure and peaceful application of nuclear science and technology, and outlines how this contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. , 1 pp.; 1 figures; 2024, English. 0.00 Euro.
