The analysis for history’s biggest nuclear accidents consequences, at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and Fukushima-Daihichi NPP, identified various radiation dose loads on liquidators, civilians environment. Predicting the subsequent effects biological ecological objects depends both range other factors not related directly to accidents’ consequences. of stochastic approaches predicting im...

In the last decade nuclear reactors have proven to be a source of electrical energy economically competitive with conventional means of power production. With the resulting increase in orders for nuclear power stations there has been a corresponding increase in public awareness of the safety and environmental aspects of these facilities. This public awareness has been evidenced by the number of...

Understanding the Challenge Nuclear facilities responsible for power generation, enrichment and storage are complex computing environments comprised of hundreds to thousands of individual devices. Those devices, and the computer systems that manage them, are built from a combination of common, off‐the‐shelf computing technologies and custom, one‐of‐a‐kind hardware, software and networking proto...

As part of the program of nuclear power development, the Russia Federation plans to increase uranium production and to improve supply from existing uranium mining and milling facilities. Moreover, development of new uranium ore deposits is also envisaged. A corollary of these developments is the placing of a high priority on environmental and human health protection Special attention should be ...

The physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities is a highly mature field, dating virtually from the inception of the nuclear age, with longstanding international requirements and guidance. While the international community, including both the IAEA and Member States, has achieved much progress within the decade since approval of the Code of Conduct, the security of radioactive...

The Radiation Hazards Control (RHC) Section of the Radiation Safety Systems Division (RSSD) provides safety coverage on radiological aspects to various plants and facilities of BARC and other DAE units. The Division extends its expertise in dealing with safety matters pertaining to design, commissioning and operation of nuclear facilities. This report briefly summarizes the routine and the majo...
