Regulatory Enforcement Policy Development and ImplementationIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2089 Regulatory enforcement is a core regulatory function and an important aspect of the regulatory oversight of nuclear facilities and activities. IAEA Safety Standards Series Nos. GSR Part I (Rev. 1) and GSG-13 provide requirements and recommendations for establishing and implementing enforcement policy. However, the lessons identified from various IAEA expert missions, peer reviews and regulatory conferences have revealed inconsistencies in the understanding, development and implementation of effective enforcement policies by regulatory bodies, highlighting the need for specific guidance on regulatory enforcement. The objective of this TECDOC is to assist regulatory bodies in developing and implementing an enforcement policy and process, in line with the IAEA safety standards. It includes practical guidance from regulatory bodies with relevant experience and provides recommendations for enhancing enforcement actions in line with effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency. Additionally, it provides methods for evaluating the significance of non-compliances using a graded approach and applying the appropriate enforcement actions. This publication is intended for regulatory bodies, technical support organizations and competent authorities responsible for the oversight of nuclear facilities and activities. |

IAEA Support to Cameroon for Nuclear Security Measures at the Africa Cup of Nations 2021This publication describes the nuclear security measures that were established and implemented to address nuclear security threats at the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 (Cameroon, 9 January to 6 February 2022). It details how the various competent authorities and agencies responsible for nuclear security implemented these measures with the support of the IAEA. It also highlights the technical and administrative requirements for developing the necessary organizational structure, nuclear security plans, strategies and concepts of operation. This publication is intended to be used by State authorities such as law enforcement, customs officials, security services and competent technical organizations, in their efforts to establish and implement nuclear security measures during a major public event.

Studies of Temporal Trends of Pollution in Selected Coastal Areas by the Application of Isotopic and Nuclear TechniquesIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2070 Lead-210 (Pb-210) dating can be used to understand depositional trends of contaminants in the coastal marine environment. Decades of research have been committed to optimizing the use of Pb-210 as an isotopic tool to date sediment layers, yet challenges in its application limit its full potential. This TECDOC uses real case studies from around the world to examine the challenges and assumptions in using the method, the scope of its use, discussion on model usage, and validation. The geographic diversity of the presented studies provides a snapshot of the effect of anthropogenic activities and the resulting organic, inorganic, and radioactive contaminants on our coastal oceans. This publication is intended for environmental scientists and marine managers. |
Life Cycle Asset Management of Uranium Mining and Processing FacilitiesIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2084 Safe and sustainable uranium production requires comprehensive asset management guidelines, strategies, procedures and planning for uranium mines and processing facilities. This TECDOC offers guidance on management strategies and maintenance techniques for ageing uranium production cycle facilities. Based on industry best practices and international standards, it draws from the expertise and insights of industry professionals to consolidate knowledge on the life cycle asset management of uranium mines and processing facilities. This guidance is applicable to existing, new and ageing uranium production facilities and is intended for use by governmental organizations in Member States, regulatory bodies, and owners and operators of uranium mines and mills. |
Tsunami and Seiche Hazards in Site Evaluation for Nuclear InstallationsSafety Reports Series No. 116 In 2004, the Indian Ocean Tsunami damaged several nuclear installations in India. In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. These events have focussed international attention on the importance of protecting nuclear facilities against such natural hazards. This IAEA Safety Report presents detailed methodologies and recent case studies for the design and safety assessment of coastal nuclear installations, especially with a view to providing defence in depth. It complements IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSG-18, Meteorological and Hydrological Hazards in Site Evaluation for Nuclear Installations, published in 2011, by introducing the latest knowledge of tsunami and seiche hazards based on real major events and related data, and their effects on nuclear sites. This publication is designed to be of use for all IAEA Member States that have nuclear installations near their shorelines. |
Quality Assurance and Optimization for Fluoroscopically Guided Interventional ProceduresIAEA Human Health Series No. 48 This IAEA Human Health Series publication provides comprehensive guidance on quality assurance and optimization in fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures (FGIPs). Designed for a diverse range of clinical specialists, it emphasizes the critical role of radiology medical physicists in establishing robust quality assurance programmes. By outlining best practices, standardizing protocols and emphasizing the integration of cutting edge technology with evidence based medicine, this publication aims to support healthcare providers in offering FGIPs that are patient-centred and in line with global standards. |
Performance Indicators to Monitor, Assess and Improve Knowledge Management Programmes in Nuclear OrganizationsIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2080 This publication provides specific methods and tools for the identification, development, selection, establishment and use of performance indicators (PIs) to measure and report on the implementation and effectiveness of knowledge management programmes to improve the overall performance of a nuclear organization. It captures examples that are applicable to the entire lifecycle of a nuclear organization. While the guidance is intended primarily for senior and middle level utilities management, the concepts and approaches are useful for all other nuclear organizations, as well as technical and scientific support organizations, regulators and educational providers. |
