The IAEA International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) can be considered as the IAEA’s response to the challenges of growing energy demand. INPRO’s activities are intended to help to achieve one of the main objectives of the IAEA to promote the development and peaceful use of nuclear energy. INPRO applies a carefully developed Methodology to assess Innovative Nucl...

In terms of its statute the IAEA is mandated to develop safety standards for nuclear, radiation, radioactive waste and transport safety, and to provide for their use and application. At the 2000 Cordoba Conference on the safety of radioactive waste management it was concluded that in view of foreseen developments in the area that work should commence on the development of safety standards for g...

FOREWORD Safety analysis reports (SARs) represent the most comprehensive compilation of specific information relevant to the safety of a nuclear power plant (NPP). They serve as the basis for assessment of the overall NPP safety status, as well as for modifications and improvements of plant hardware, procedures and operation. For the regulatory body the SAR is the essential document for the lic...

The chronicle of McLaughlin et al. (2000) details how multiple process criticality accidents occurred in the 1950s and 1960s when criticality safety programmes were in their infancy and when operator training was often overlooked. A period of relative calm prevailed after 1970 as strict mass controls and administrative procedures were introduced together with criticality education programmes. H...

The main purpose of this study was to investigate patient dose in the chest (PA/AP/LAT) and skull (PA/AP/LAT) X-ray examinations, as frequent procedures. The study was performed in eight public hospitals of Khuzestan province, Iran. Patient dosimetry was conducted on 567 standard patient X-ray examinations (males: 61.2%, female: 38.2%). Dosimetry protocol in this study was indirect method, acco...
