Books in the IAEA TECDOC Series series

Artificial sources of radiation are commonly used in the manufacturing and service industries, research institutions and universities, and the nuclear power industry.

Provides information on detailed methodologies and examples in the application of volcanic hazard assessment to site evaluation for nuclear installations. It demonstrates the practicability of evaluating the recommendations through a systematic volcanic hazard assessment and examples from member states.

Presents a compilation of the main results and findings of an IAEA coordinated research project (CRP). In particular, it discusses an innovative variation of neutron activation analysis (NAA) known as large sample NAA (LSNAA). There is no other way to measure the bulk mass fractions of the elements present in a large sample (up to kilograms in mass) non-destructively.

Focuses on the storage of spent nuclear fuel from power reactors - a topic of increasing importance to Member States. To support their needs, the IAEA has carried out successive coordinated research projects on spent fuel performance and the behaviour of spent fuel assemblies in storage since the 1980s. This publication consolidates their findings.
