6.2.1. Selected IAEA publications

nucleus-apps.iaea.org/nss-oui/collections/publishedcollections

Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, Specific Safety Requirements No. SSR-6, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2012 (Adopted as ARPANSA RPS C 2, 2019)
These Regulations establish requirements that must be satisfied to ensure safety and to protect persons, property and the environment from the effects of radiation in the transport of radioactive material.
Site Evaluation for Nuclear Installations, Safety Requirements, No SSR-1, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2019
This document establishes the requirements for site evaluation for a nuclear installation so that site specific hazards and the safety related site characteristics are adequately taken into account, in order to derive appropriate site specific design parameters.
Preparedness and Response for a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency, General Safety Requirements, No. GSR Part 7, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2015 (adopted as ARPANSA RPS G-3)
This publication establishes the requirements for an adequate level of preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency. The application of these requirements is also intended to mitigate the consequences of a nuclear or radiological emergency if such an emergency arises despite all efforts made to prevent it.
The requirements apply for preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency in relation to all those facilities and activities, as well as sources, with the potential for causing radiation exposure, environmental contamination or concern on the part of the public warranting protective actions and other response actions.
The Management System for the Disposal of Radioactive waste, Safety Guide No. GS‑G‑3.4, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2008
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on developing and implementing management systems for all phases of facilities for the disposal of radioactive waste and related activities.
The Management System for the Processing, Handling and Storage of Radioactive Waste, Safety Guide No. GS-G-3.3, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2008
This Safety Guide is to provide recommendations on developing and implementing management systems for the pre-treatment, treatment, conditioning and storage of radioactive waste.
Near Surface Disposal Facilities for Radioactive Waste, Specific Safety Guide No. SSG‑29, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2014
This Safety Guide provides guidance and recommendations relating to the development, operation, closure and regulatory control of facilities for the near-surface disposal of radioactive waste to meet the safety requirements established in SSR-5.
Site Survey and Site Selection for Nuclear Installations, Specific Safety Guide No. SSG‑35, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2015
This Safety Guide provides recommendations and guidance on meeting the requirements [NS-R-3] for the consideration of safety in the siting process for a nuclear installation in order to meet the fundamental safety objective of SF-1.
Monitoring and Surveillance of Radioactive Waste Disposal Facilities, Specific Safety Guide No. SSG 31, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2014
This Safety Guide provides guidance for the monitoring and surveillance of radioactive waste disposal facilities throughout their entire lifetime.
Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Power Plants and Research Reactors, Specific safety Guide No. SSG-40, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2016
This document provides guidance on the predisposal management of all types of radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants and research reactors (including subcritical and critical assemblies). It covers all stages in the lifetime of a waste management facility, including its siting, design, construction, commissioning, operation, shutdown and decommissioning. Recommendations on how to meet the requirements for the predisposal management of radioactive waste generated from such facilities are presented in this guide.
Contents and Example Arguments for a Safety Case for Radioactive Waste Disposal, Draft Technical Document, IAEA-TECDOC-1814, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2016
This technical document provides the components of a Safety Case defined by the PRISM (Practical Illustration of the use of the Safety Case in the Management of near-surface disposal) and the example arguments or content of Safety Cases for two facilities developed by PRISMA (which is the follow-up project to the PRISM).
Nuclear Security Recommendations on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities (INFCIRC/225/REVISION 5), Nuclear Security Series No. 13, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2011
This publication provides a set of recommended requirements to achieve the four Physical Protection Objectives and to apply the twelve Fundamental Principles that were endorsed by the IAEA Board of the Governors and General Conference in September 2001.
The recommended requirements apply to the physical protection of nuclear material, including its physical protection during transport, and of nuclear facilities against malicious acts.
Nuclear Security Recommendations on Radioactive Material and Associated Facilities, Nuclear Security Series No. 14, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 2011
This publication provides a set of recommendations to ensure a consistent level of security of radioactive material and to ensure that there is a balance between managing radioactive material securely while still enabling it to be used safely by authorised persons without unduly limiting the use of radioactive material for societal benefits.

These recommendations apply to the security of radioactive material, associated facilities and associated activities for the prevention of malicious acts intended or likely to cause harmful radiological consequences.
