The name Chernobyl is now etched forever into human history. It was the scene of a man-made disaster, the full implications of which are still not known. Exactly what happened on April 26, 1986, remains a mystery. But when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the people of Ukraine were free at last to talk about what they knew. Glenn Cheney, who has traveled widely, spent more than six weeks in the Chernobyl area, arriving in Kiev during those first days when Ukraine became independent. From almo...
Probabilistic Safety Assessment for Seismic Events (IAEA TECDOC)
Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is considered to be an important tool for assessing the safety of nuclear installations (typically used for safety assessment of nuclear power plants) in relation to potential initiating events that can be caused by random component failure and human error, as well as internal and external hazards. The purpose of seismic PSAs performed on nuclear installations is to provide risk insights related to their seismic robustness. The methodology for seismic safety...
This publication is the fifth in the IAEA Nuclear Energy Series to provide guidance on the inclusion of safeguards in nuclear facility design and construction. It is principally intended for designers and operators of facilities for long term spent fuel; however, vendors, national authorities and financial backers can also benefit from the information provided. The publication complements the general considerations addressed in International Safeguards in Nuclear Facility Design and Construction...

Best Estimate Safety Analysis
Knapp und klar arbeitet der Autor die Grundlagen zum Verstandnis der Kernenergie heraus und ermoeglicht Lesern damit einen leichten Einstieg ins Thema. Dabei vermittelt er nicht nur die technisch-wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen in allgemein verstandlicher und umfassender Weise, sondern befasst sich auch mit den gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen der Sicherheit, der Entsorgung und der nuklearen Abrustung. Der Band bietet die Moeglichkeit, die aktuellen Entwicklungen nach der Reaktorkatastrophe in Fuku...
Tokamak Engineering Mechanics (Mechanical Engineering)
by Yuntao Song, Weiyue Wu, and Shijun Du
Tokamak Engineering Mechanics offers concise and thorough coverage of engineering mechanics theory and application for tokamaks, and the material is reinforced by numerous examples. Chapter topics include general principles, static mechanics, dynamic mechanics, thermal fluid mechanics and multiphysics structural mechanics of tokamak structure analysis. The theoretical principle of the design and the methods of the analysis for various components and load conditions are presented, while the lates...

Quality Assurance Auditing for Nuclear Power Plants (Coleccion seguridad)
The guide deals with emergency arrangements for which public authorities are responsible, the interaction with the operating organization emergency plan and the integration into the overall emergency planning. Guidance is given on the main aspects of assigning responsibility to public authorities, the regulatory body and the operating organization.
This guide covers the protection of nuclear power plants against missiles that may result from failures of equipment. Missiles from sources outside the plant are not addressed. The recommendations given are intended as an aid in assessing design adequacy. Overall aspects of what constitutes adequate protection are thus more extensively elaborated than the details of how to accomplish that task.
Methodology and Technology of Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities (Technical Reports)
This report is a review of the current state of the methodology and technology of decommissioning nuclear facilities including remote systems technology.
