International Nuclear Information System

The IAEA does not normally maintain stocks of reports in this senes They are however collected by the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) as non-conventional literature Should a document be out of print, a copy on microfiche or in electronic format can be purchased from the INIS Document Delivery Services... 

Reports are available to DOE employees, DOE contractors. Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) representatives, and International Nuclear Information System (INIS) representatives from the following source ... 

Well-trained, safety-conscious workers are essential for safe operation of a nuclear power plant. Under the Soviet system, reactor personnel often worked in isolation from their counterparts at other plants and from the international nuclear community, hindering the exchange of information, skills, and lessons learned.

The main industrial processes that involve uranium are the excavation of uranium-containing ores and its application in the nuclear fuel cycle (NFC). A summary table of the types of facilities involved in the NFC was constructed by the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information System (NFCIS) published as a technical document by the International Atomic Energy Agency (lAEA-TECDOC-1613 2009) and reproduced as Table 2.1.

This publication provides data on civilian nuclear fuel cycle facilities with an international perspective. The information for this directory was obtained by questionnaires to IAEA manber states and from additional published sources. Information includes name and location of facility, start-up and shutdown dates, and so on.

The use of computer simulations to study internal motions and thermodynamic properties is receiving increased attention. One important use of the method is to provide a more fundamental understanding of the molecular information contained in various kinds of experiments on these complex systems. In the first part of this paper we review recent work in our laboratory concerned with the use of computer simulations for the interpretation of experimental probes of molecular structure and dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids. The interplay between computer simulations and three experimental techniques is emphasized (1) nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation spectroscopy, (2) refinement of macro-molecular x-ray structures, and (3) vibrational spectroscopy. The treatment of solvent effects in biopolymer simulations is a difficult problem. It is not possible to study systematically the effect of solvent conditions, e.g. added salt concentration, on biopolymer properties by means of simulations alone. In the last part of the paper we review a more analytical approach we have developed to study polyelectrolyte properties of solvated biopolymers. The results are compared with computer simulations.
