Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems at Nuclear FacilitiesIAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 49-T The physical protection system (PPS) at a nuclear facility consists of a range of nuclear security measures involving personnel, procedures and equipment. Ensuring that the PPS is operating as designed is crucial for the security of the nuclear material and of the facility itself. An evaluation of the individual elements of a facility’s PPS, as well as the system as a whole, provides a measure of the system’s effectiveness. This publication provides technical guidance for Member States, competent authorities and operators on evaluating the effectiveness of such systems to protect nuclear material in use and in storage against unauthorized removal, and to protect nuclear material and facilities against sabotage. |
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.

Global Status of Front End Nuclear Fuel Cycle Inventories in 2023This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of data in the public domain on frontend uranic inventories and considers the approach of end users towards the reliability of their once-through supply chains. The analysis includes country and regional insights for Africa and the Middle East, Eurasia, Europe, North America, South America, and South and East Asia. By considering regional perspectives rather than offering a purely global overview, the evaluation more accurately reflects the realities of local supply and demand conditions in recent years. It aims to support the development of strategies that ensure the reliable, safe, and secure supply of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plant operations. This publication is intended for all IAEA Member States with nuclear power, as well as those considering the introduction of nuclear power and seeking to strengthen the security and assurance of their nuclear fuel supply.

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. |
