Exploring medical and public health preparedness for a nuclear incident : proceedings of a workshop
\"The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on August 22-23, 2018, in Washington, DC, to explore medical and public health preparedness for a nuclear incident. The event brought together experts from government, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and the private sector to explore current assumptions behind the status of medical and public health preparedness for a nuclear incident, examine potential changes in these assumptions in light of increasing concerns about the use of nuclear warfare, and discuss challenges and opportunities for capacity building in the current threat environment. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.\"--Publisher's description.

The Operating Organization and the Recruitment, Training and Qualification of Personnel for Research Reactors
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on the operating organization and on personnel for research reactors to meet the relevant requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-3, Safety of Research Reactors. It covers the typical operating organization for research reactor facilities; the recruitment process and qualification in terms of education, training and experience; programmes for initial and continuing training; the authorization process for those individuals having an immediate bearing on safety; and the processes for their requalification and reauthorization. This Safety Guide is a revision of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. NS-G-4.5, which it supersedes.
eBook
Core Management and Fuel Handling for Research Reactors

Options for nuclear power plant decommissioning
There are 3 major stages involved in decommissioning a nuclear power plant: 1. reactor defueling, decontamination activity, draining liquids from systems, disconnecting operating systems, establishing physical and administrative controls, and continuing surveillance and maintenance; 2. removal and decontamination of easily dismantled equipment and buildings; and 3. decontamination and removal of all remaining materials, equipment, and buildings. However, a variety of factors must be considered when selecting the optimum decommissioning strategy. In addition, a complete radioactive material inventory is a key requirement throughout the decommissioning process. Although the decommissioning of nuclear reactors and fuel cycle facilities appears to be a daunting task, it really is only a large amount of conventional demolition work combined with a certain amount of remote dismantling in high radiation fields. All in all, as long as there is adequate provision made for waste management and disposal routes, economical decommissioning is possible.

The Nuclear weapons complex : management for health, safety, and the environment
In this volume, the National Research Council examines problems arising throughout government-owned, contractor-operated facilities in the United States engaged in activities to build nuclear weapons. The book draws conclusions about and makes recommendations for the health and safety of the nuclear weapons complex and addresses pressing environmental concerns. In addition, the book examines the future of the complex and offers suggestions for its modernization. Several explanatory appendixes provide useful background information on the functioning of the complex, criticality safety, plutonium chemistry, and weapons physics.

Managing Spent Nuclear Fuel
Nuclear power is receiving renewed interest because of its low greenhouse gas emissions. However, if nuclear power is to be sustainable option for the United States, methods for managing spent fuel that meet stringent safety and environmental standards must be implemented. This report examines technical and institutional approaches to spent fuel management and highlights policy implications of pursuing alternative strategies.
