The final Research Coordination Meeting of a coordinated research project (CRP) on spectroscopic and collisional data for tungsten ions in fusion plasma was held at IAEA Headquarters with 17 external experts representing 14 research groups and staff from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Participants summarized their research during the CRP and made plans for a final report. The proceedin...

Eight senior government representatives outlined the views and policies of their countries in the field of radioactive waste management at a "scientific afternoon" during the 27th Regular Session of the General Conference of the IAEA in Vienna in October. The countries represented were Argentina, France, the Federal Republic of Germany. India, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA; sta...

At the International Atomic Energy Agency Symposium on "National and International Standardization of Radiation Dosimetry" held in Atlanta during 5 -9 December 1977, it became quile evident that the institutions in the IAEA/WHO network of Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs) have become recognized as having a necessary and well-defined objective. The link they have established wit...

Abstract. Providing safe, secure and environmentally acceptable radioactive waste disposal is a national responsibility that requires long-term commitment, adequate resources the involvement of multiple stakeholders. The choice particular concept its detailed design will depend on several factors, such as properties inventory to be disposed of, circumstances strategic preferences. A likely evol...

Perhaps the most important single problem arising from the increasing use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes is how to dispose of the growing amounts of radioactive waste. Many of its complex aspects were discussed at the scientific conference on the disposal of radioactive waste held by IAEA in Monaco from 16 to 21 November 1959. The conference was organized jointly with UNESCO, with the c...

It is internationally recognized that validation is necessary in analytical laboratories. The use of validated methods is important for an analytical laboratory to show its qualification and competency. This work describes the methods for validation of gamma spectrometric analytical procedure in the determination of some gamma emitters in environmental samples. The method was tested and validat...

Cytogenetic studies started during the early 1940’s with the studies of Karl Sax on the induction of chromosomal aberration in Tradescantia microspores by X-rays and later it has been applied in the study of human chromosomes. Generally the cytogenetic techniques are useful to estimate radiation doses received due to external radiation exposure it is difficult to estimate radiation doses except...
