Outlook for Nuclear Energy in AfricaAfrica faces rising energy demands and energy security and climate challenges. The IAEA’s new publication, developed for South Africa’s 2025 G20 Presidency, highlights nuclear energy as a transformative solution. With only one operational nuclear power plant on the continent and over 500 million people lacking electricity, nuclear power offers a clean, reliable and scalable path to energy security and sustainable development. The publication explores the growing interest in nuclear energy across more than 20 African countries, the role of small modular reactors, and the continent’s strategic uranium resources. It emphasizes the importance of nuclear infrastructure development, financing, regional cooperation and IAEA support to Member States. Case studies from Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria showcase progress and potential in the development of nuclear energy on the continent. With innovative financing and international collaboration, nuclear energy can help to power Africa’s future and ambitions.

Assessment of Radioactive Contamination, Exposures and Countermeasures in Urban EnvironmentsIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2096 This TECDOC presents the outcomes of international model validation exercises aimed at improving the performance of models used to assess radioactive contamination in urban environments. Building on the work of Working Group 2 under the MODARIA I programme, this intercomparison introduced models of greater complexity. The exercises addressed various scenarios, including dispersion and deposition events, short- and long-term redistribution of contaminants following deposition, and the evaluation of potential countermeasures or remediation strategies to reduce human exposure. |
Benchmarking Current Practices in Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis for Nuclear InstallationsIAEA TECDOC Series No. 2092 This publication explores the findings of an IAEA-designed exercise focused on understanding probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA) for nuclear installation sites. The IAEA benchmarking exercise examines fault displacement hazard curves from various earthquake scenarios, including the 2016 Kumamoto (magnitude 7.0), Norcia (magnitude 6.5), and the 2019 Le Teil (magnitude 4.9) earthquakes. These events represent different fault types: strike-slip, normal, and reverse faulting and have documented fault displacements. This publication aims to share key results and insights from the PFDHA exercise, comparing hazard outcomes and explaining the factors behind observed differences. This will help Member States assess the compatibility of current fault displacement models with the earthquake scenarios that will possibly be used in nuclear safety evaluations. |
Tritium in the EnvironmentTechnical Reports Series No. 495 This Technical Reports Series publication incorporates contemporary information and scientific knowledge on the behaviour of tritium in the environment. It directly addresses existing and future concerns relating to anthropogenic sources of tritium that arise from power generation using nuclear fission and fusion technologies, nuclear fuel cycle activities, industrial and medical applications, accidental and deliberate releases, as well as military activities. This publication is also intended to serve as a technical reference on the radioecology of tritium, addressing current societal needs and acting as a guide for specialists and members of the public in understanding future environmental impacts. The intended audience of this publication includes specialists in radioecology, as well as technical specialists and decision makers dealing with the assessment of the impact of radioactivity on humans and the environment. |
Design Considerations for Nuclear Power Plants Against TsunamisSafety Reports Series No. 128 This Safety Report illustrates the diversity of impacts caused by tsunamis and provides an overview of design considerations for nuclear power plants regarding tsunami specific elements. The publication aims to contribute to the enhancement of safety measures for nuclear installations in accordance with IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSG-68, Design of Nuclear Installations Against External Events Excluding Earthquakes. This Safety Report addresses the elements of design against the design basis tsunami, including design concept, preliminary design and final design, and verification of the design against the beyond design basis tsunami. The intended audience for this publication includes regulators, operators, technical and scientific support organizations, and manufacturers of nuclear installations. |
