Detection in a State's Interior of Nuclear and Other Radioactive Material out of Regulatory ControlIAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 47-T This publication provides guidance on planning, implementing, and evaluating systems and measures in a State in order to detect nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control in the State’s interior by means of instrument alarms and information alerts. The guidance covers the planning of detection operations, equipment deployment and human resource development. This publication is intended for authorities responsible for designing, implementing, and sustaining nuclear security systems and measures within a State, such as personnel from the Ministry of Interior, Law Enforcement Agencies, Health Authorities, National Regulators, Emergency Response, and National Security Organizations. |

Milestones in the Development of a National Infrastructure for Nuclear PowerIAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-G-3.1 (Rev.2) The decision to develop a nuclear power programme is a significant undertaking by any country. In preparing the necessary nuclear power infrastructure, there are numerous activities that must be completed in a timely manner in line with the objectives of the nuclear power programme. This publication defines three milestones in the development of the infrastructure necessary for introducing nuclear power and provides guidance on the activities that need to be carried out before each milestone. This new revision incorporates the experiences and feedback from several countries which have already completed or progressed significantly in all three phases. It also includes an annex for outlining the specific infrastructure considerations for Small Modular Reactors, which are expected to be deployed in a number of countries in the coming years. This publication is principally for decision-makers, advisers and senior managers in government, utilities and regulatory bodies in Member States interested in introducing nuclear power. |

Assessment of Defence in Depth for Nuclear Power Plants (Rev.1)Safety Reports Series No. 46 (Rev.1) This publication describes the updated version of the method for the assessment of comprehensiveness of defence in depth and demonstrates the overall improvement in assessment results when using it. For assessment of comprehensiveness, five levels of defence in depth are considered. To ensure that safety objectives are met at each level of defence in depth, the integrity of relevant fission product barriers is maintained by the safety functions. A set of challenges to the performance of safety functions and the mechanisms leading to the challenges are specified by the method. Finally, a comprehensive list of safety provisions, which contribute to preventing these mechanisms from occurring, is specified. These provisions encompass the inherent safety features, equipment, procedures, personnel availability, personnel training and safety culture aspects. The challenges, mechanisms and provisions for all levels of defence in depth are presented in the assessment method in the form of objective trees. |
Advancing the State of the Practice in Uncertainty and Sensitivity Methodologies for Severe Accident Analysis in Water Cooled Reactors of CANDU TypesIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2058 The IAEA facilitated collaborative research among its Member States, in advancing the state of the practice in uncertainty and sensitivity methodologies for severe accident analysis in water cooled reactors. The primary aim was to evaluate the uncertainty and sensitivity associated with severe accident calculations, particularly concerning the progression and consequences of accidents in a generic CANDU type nuclear power plant under a postulated station blackout scenario. Key parameters considered in these analyses included hydrogen generation, event timings, and the release of fission products into the environment. The resulting publication showcases contributions from three institutions across three Member States, providing insights into their methodologies for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in severe accidents. |
Nuclear Cogeneration for Climate Change Mitigation and Sustainable Development GoalsIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2056 As countries plan their low carbon energy strategies for the future, nuclear cogeneration—using nuclear power plants not only for electricity generation but also to provide simultaneously electricity and heat for applications such as district heating, hydrogen production, water desalination or to support industrial processes—is emerging as an attractive option for decarbonizing of various energy consuming sectors, while also boosting the efficiency of nuclear power plants. The publication includes an overview on the use of nuclear energy for cogeneration applications to achieve a future with clean and sustainable energy. It aims to increase the understanding of the role of nuclear cogeneration in climate change mitigation and to showcase the experience available in several Member States in the field of nuclear cogeneration. The publication is intended for decision makers, managers and engineers involved in nuclear cogeneration projects. |
