International Atomic Energy Agency publications

A critical assessment of the chemical thermodynamic properties of the actinides and their compounds is presently being prepared by an international team of scientists under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Vienna). As a result of this effort, four publications (1, 2, 3, 5) have already become available and a further ten 6-T4), including the halides (8) and aqueous complexes with Tnorganic ligands (12),... 

Since 1925, The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements at Bethesda, Maryland has been publishing reports updating the definitions and units for measurements of various radiation-related quantities. Of these ICRU Reports, special mention may be made of reports no. 19 (1971) [radiation quantities and units], 33 (1980) [radiation quantities and units], 36 (1983) [microdosimetry], 47 (1992) [thermoluminiscent dosimetry], and 51 (1993) [radiation protection dosimetry]. A succinct description of various devices used in dosimetry, such as ionization chambers, chemical and solid-state dosimeters, and personnel (pocket) dosimeters, will be found in Spinks and Woods (1990). In this section, we will only consider some chemical dosimeters in a little detail. For a survey of the field the reader is referred to Kase et at, (1985, 1987), McLaughlin (1982), and to the International Atomic Energy Agency (1977). Of the earlier publications, many useful information can still be gleaned from Hine and Brownell (1956), Holm and Berry (1970), and Shapiro (1972).

Direct measurements of 180/160 in rain and snow have been made and are available in publications of the International Atomic Energy Agency [17] figure 7 shows the 180 and D correlations with temperature for Austrian stations for the past 15 years. The isotope concentration of precipitation varies similarly with temperature in many other places as shown by plots of the IAEA isotope measurements against air temperature.

Note An excellent collection of basic isotope data and discussion of case studies is provided by publications of the International Atomic Energy Agency, included at the end of the reference list. Especially useful is the collection of papers in Stable Isotope Hydrology Deuterium and Oxygen-18 in the Water Cycle, IAEA, Vienna, 1981. Fritz and Fontes (1980 and 1986) are the editors of the Handbook of Environmental Isotope Geochemistry, which contains valuable information on the stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes.
