RELATED IAEA PUBLICATIONS

Transport requirements are provided in IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material [S], and in related IAEA publications (e.g. the TECDOC entitled Interfaces between Transport and Geological Disposal Systems for High Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel [6]). The interface between storage and transport is discussed in this Safety Guide. 

Other safety related IAEA publications are issued as Radiological Assessment Reports, the International Nuclear Safety Group s INSAG Reports, Technical Reports and TECDOCs. The IAEA also issues reports on radiological accidents, training manuals and practical manuals, and other special safety related publications. Security related publications are issued in the IAEA Nuclear Security Series. 

Other IAEA series that include safety related sales publications are the Technical Reports Series, the Radiological Assessment Reports Series and the INSAG Series. The IAEA also issues reports on radiological accidents and other special sales publications. Unpriced safety related publications are issued in the TECDOC Series, the Provisional Safety Standards Series, the Training Course Series, the IAEA Services Series and the Computer Manual Series, and as Practical Radiation Safety Manuals and Practical Radiation Technical Manuals. 

Relevant material from other IAEA publications related to power reactor ageing [2], to research reactor design [3] and to research reactor operation [4].

For all innovative SMRs addressed in this report. Table 2 provides a summary of the user-related features, the targeted deployment dates, the achieved design and regulatory status and its progress since previous IAEA publications, identifies fuel cycle options and specifies the recommended sources of additional information. 

See Basic Safety Standards for Radiation Protection, 1982 Edition, IAEA Safety Series No. 9, and the 1990 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, Publication 60, Pergamon Press (1991), for the radiation protection principles. See also Basic Safety Principles for Nuclear Power Plants, IAEA Safety Series No. 75-INSAG-3, for the technical safety objective. (See the Selection of IAEA Publications Related to the Safety of Research Reactors at the end of this book.)... 

Guidance on security matters relating to the prevention and detection of, and response to, malicious acts is beyond the scope of this Safety Guide and is addressed in other IAEA publications (see, for example. Refs [19, 20] ). 

The contents of this chapter are limited to some general observations and conclusions on the organization and operation of an electronics laboratory that serves nuclear intrumentatIon and related equipment. The same recommendation applies as well for all donated Instruments. It should be noted that there are several IAEA publications dealing with the topic (IAEA TECDOC-309, Nuclear Electronics Laboratory Manual, and TECDOC-363, Selected Topics In Nuclear Electronics). 

Therefore, since 2004 the IAEA s programme related to the terrestrial environment has included activities aimed towards the development of a set of procedures for determination of radionuclides in environmental samples. It is intended that as these are developed, they will be made them available to users, for example by publication in IAEA series and/or by placing them on the IAEA website. The latter option would allow those who are interested in a reliable source of procedures to search for them according to their requirements e.g. by analyte and/or sample type. It is not intended that the analytical procedures included should be regarded as recommended or endorsed by the IAEA for any particular purpose, nevertheless it is expected that the information will be a useful resource and starting point for analysts. 

In case of any event that clearly deviates form normal behavior of a reactor (ranging from observations with safety implications to catastrophes), the event should be reported to IAEA and the appropriate organizations in other coimtries. For reports to the press and to the general public of safety related events in nuclear power plants IAEA and OECD/NEA recommend the INES scale, see Table 19.6. 

G. W. Dolphin and W. G. Marley, Risk Evaluation in Relation to the Prot ion of the Public in the Event of Accidents at Nuclear Installations, UKAEA Rep. AHSB(RP)-R 93 (1969) some of the material in this report was also published in paper No. SM-117/23 presented to an IAEA Seminar, Environmental Contamination Radioactive Materials. Fiewmj (1969). 

The regulatory related publications by means of which the IAEA establishes safety standards and measures are issued in the IAEA Safely Standards Series. This series covers nuclear safety, radiation safety, transport safety and waste safety, and also general safety (that is, of relevance in two or more of the four areas), and the categories within it are Safely Fundamentals, Safety Requirements and Safety Guides. 

The physical protection of fissile and radioactive materials and of nuclear power plants as a whole is mentioned where appropriate but is not treated in detail obligations of States in this respect should be addressed on the basis of the relevant instruments and publications developed under the auspices of the IAEA. Non-radiological aspects of industrial safety and environmental protection are also not explicitly considered it is recognized that States should fulfil their international undertakings and obligations in relation to these. 

This Safety Guide supplements Section 6 of the Safety Requirements publication on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants Operation [1], which relates to the maintenance, surveillance and in-service inspection of SSCs important to safety. It provides recommendations on the basis of international experience of measures for fulfilling the safety requirements for MS I. This publication supersedes the following three earlier IAEA Safety Guides In-service Inspection for Nuclear Power Plants, Safety Series No. 50-SG-O2 (1980), Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants, Safety Series No. 50-SG-O7 (1990), and Surveillance of Items Important to Safety in Nuclear Power Plants, Safety Series No. 50-SG-O8 (1990). 

Reports on safety and protection in nuclear activities are issued in other publications series, in particular the Safety Reports Series. Safety Reports provide practical examples and detailed methods that can be used in support of the safety standards. Other IAEA series of safety related publications are the Provision for the Application of Safety Standards Series, the Radiolo0cal Assessment Reports Series and the International Nuclear Safety Group s INSAG Series. The IAEA also issues reports on radiological accidents and other special publications. 

INES International Nuclear Event Scale INES is an information system operated by IAEA to inform the public about safety related events in nuclear power plants (IAEA 2001) http //www-news.iaea.org/news/...
