The publications by means of which the IAEA establishes standards are issued in the IAEA Safety Standards Series. This series covers nuclear safety, radiation safety, transport safety and waste safety. The publication categories in the series are Safety Fundamentals, Safety Requirements and Safety Guides. Information on the IAEA’s safety standards programme is available on the IAEA Internet site http://www-ns.iaea.org/standards/ The site provides the texts in English of published and draft safety standards. The texts of safety standards issued in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, the IAEA Safety Glossary and a status report for safety standards under development are also available. For further information, please contact the IAEA at: Vienna International Centre, PO Box 100, 1400 Vienna, Austria. All users of IAEA safety standards are invited to inform the IAEA of experience in their use (e.g. as a basis for national regulations, for safety reviews and for training courses) for the purpose of ensuring that they continue to meet users’ needs. Information may be provided via the IAEA Internet site or by post, as above, or by email to Offi [email protected]. RELATED PUBLICATIONS The IAEA provides for the application of the standards and, under the terms of Articles III and VIII.C of its Statute, makes available and fosters the exchange of information relating to peaceful nuclear activities and serves as an intermediary among its Member States for this purpose. Reports on safety in nuclear activities are issued as Safety Reports, which provide practical examples and detailed methods that can be used in support of the safety standards. Other safety related IAEA publications are issued as Emergency Preparedness and Response publications, 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. The IAEA Nuclear Energy Series comprises informational publications to encourage and assist research on, and the development and practical application of, nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. It includes reports and guides on the status of and advances in technology, and on experience, good practices and practical examples in the areas of nuclear power, the nuclear fuel cycle, radioactive waste management and decommissioning.

Description: Vienna : International Atomic Energy Agency, 2020. | Series: IAEA TECDOC series, ISSN 1011–4289 ; no. 1914 | Includes bibliographical references. Identifiers: IAEAL 20-01318 | ISBN 978–92–0–108220–6 (paperback : alk. paper) | ISBN 978–92–0–108320–3 (pdf) Subjects: LCSH: Nuclear power plants – Accidents. | Nuclear power plants – Accidents — Environmental aspects. | Radiation — Dosage. FOREWORD The International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) started in 2001, on the basis of a resolution of the IAEA General Conference in 2000 (GC(44)/RES/21). INPRO activities have since been continuously endorsed by resolutions of IAEA General Conferences and by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The objectives of INPRO are to help ensure that nuclear energy is available to contribute, in a sustainable manner, to the goal of meeting the energy needs of the 21st century, and to bring together technology holders and users so that they can consider jointly the international and national actions required for ensuring sustainability of nuclear energy through innovations in technology and/or institutional arrangements. To fulfil these objectives, INPRO developed a set of basic principles, user requirements and criteria, as well as an assessment method which, taken together, compose the INPRO methodology for the evaluation of the long term sustainability of nuclear energy systems. The most recent full version of the INPRO methodology is documented in IAEA-TECDOC-1575/Rev.1, published in 2008, which consists of an overview volume and eight additional volumes covering economics, infrastructure, waste management, proliferation resistance, physical protection, environment, safety of reactors and safety of nuclear fuel cycle facilities. The INPRO methodology area of environment provides guidance on the sustainability assessment of criteria relating to the environmental impact of radiological stressors from a nuclear energy system in normal operation and during anticipated operational occurrences. The INPRO methodology areas of safety of reactors and safety of fuel cycle facilities cover sustainability related issues concerning potential exposure in the case of accidents with external release of radiation. This publication focuses on the INPRO collaborative project on the Environmental Impact of Potential Accidental Releases from Nuclear Energy Systems (ENV-PE), a follow-up to the INPRO collaborative project on Environmental Impact Benchmarking

  • Meteorology Applied to Urban Air Pollution Problems
    COST { the acronym for European COoperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research { is the oldest and widest European intergovernmental net- work for cooperation in research. Established by the Ministerial Conference in November 1971, COST is presently used by the scientific communities of 35 European countries to cooperate in common research projects supported by national funds. The funds provided by COST { less than 1% of the total value of the projects { support the COST cooperation networks (COST Actions) through which, with only around 20 million per year, more than 30.000 Eu- ropean scientists are involved in research having a total value which exceeds 2 billion per year. This is the financial worth of the European added value which COST achieves. A \bottom up approach" (the initiative of launching a COST Action comes from the European scientists themselves), “`a la carte participa- tion" (only countries interested in the Action participate), \equality of access" (participation is open also to the scientific communities of countries not be- longing to the European Union) and “flexible structure" (easy implementation and light management of the research initiatives) are the main characteristics of COST. As precursor of advanced multidisciplinary research COST has a very important role for the realisation of the European Research Area (ERA) anticipating and complementing the activities of the Framework Programmes, constituting a \bridge" towards the scientific communities of emerging coun- tries, increasing the mobility of researchers across Europe and fostering the establishment of \Networks of Excellence" in many key scientific domains such as: Physics, Chemistry, Telecommunications and Information Science, Nan- otechnologies, Meteorology, Environment, Medicine and Health, Forests, Agri- culture and Social Sciences.
