In the past, much of the focus of formal nuclear power plant (NPP) training and development programmes was on the technical skills of NPP personnel, particularly those of control room operators. The environment in which NPPs operate is continually changing; placing new demands on NPP personnel to work more efficiently and effectively while continuing to maintain the high levels of safety required of NPPs. In this report, an integrated approach that considers training along with other ways to achieve desired levels of human performance is suggested.

Contractor personnel provide essential services to nuclear power plants (NPPs), particularly during plant outages or for projects involving major upgrades to plants. In providing these services contractor personnel encounter similar problems to those that challenge NPP personnel. Accordingly, contractor personnel must be similarly competent and effectively interface with NPP personnel when performing their assigned duties. It is in this context that this publication offers a framework for assuring the competence of contractor personnel.

In situ leach (ISL) technology is an innovative and recently utilised mining alternative. It is recognized as having economic and environmental advantages when properly employed by knowledgeable specialists to extract uranium from suitable sandstone type deposits. This report brings together information from several technical disciplines that are an essential part of ISL technology. It provides insights into many of the considerations related to the technical feasibility of planning, operating and closing ISL uranium mining projects. Much of the material may also be of value for planning or operating alkaline ISL projects.

While there is uncertainty about the long term utilization of nuclear power, it is expected that its use may continue for many years given its environmental advantages and ability to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and other undesirable substances. Continuing fluctuations of the uranium spot price have not provided the incentive for expansion of world uranium production. However, with excess inventories expected to be used up over the next few years, expansion of several existing, as well as opening of new production centres, is being planned. This publication provides information on most of the major production facilities that are expected to meet uranium requirements over the next ten years and beyond. The review of the economics of some of the known resources, particularly in the Russian Federation and Central Asia, is of special interest.

Proceedings of a symposium on Experience in the Planning and Operation of Low Level Waste Disposal Facilities, Vienna, 17-21 June 1996. During the past 30 to 40 years extensive experience has been gained in planning, siting, designing, licensing, constructing, operating and closing down various types of low level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal facilities. The purpose of this symposium was to facilitate the information transfer process on experience gained. Past disposal practices and attempts to define adequate approaches for LLW disposal in developing countries were addressed at an open discussion. Finding less expensive ways of managing very low level waste, as well as the reassessment of past disposal practices, remediation and procedures in the post-operational phase were considered as areas of importance. Difficulties in the implementation of LLW disposal plans were also discussed.

Key issue papers from a symposium held in co-operation with the EC, the OEC/NEA and the Uranium Institute, 3-6 June 1997, Vienna. The purpose of the symposium was to provide a forum for discussion of the new realities facing the nuclear fuel cycle and to consider options on how these could be addressed. Amongst the new realities are the facts that: nuclear capacities have increased less than projected; the debate on the choice of the most appropriate fuel cycle is still ongoing; military stocks of weapon plutonium and highly enriched uranium have been released; and the amount of plutonium in the world is continuously increasing. The data contained in these key issue papers should assist to inform decision makers and the public and lead to a more objective discussion of the different options in the nuclear fuel cycle. Contents: Key issue paper No. 1: Global energy outlook; Key issue paper No. 2: Present status and immediate prospects of plutonium management; Key issue paper No. 3: Future fuel cycle and reactor strategies; Key issue paper No. 4: Safety, health and environmental implications of the different fuel cycles; Key issue paper No. 5: Non-proliferation and safeguards aspects; Key issue paper No. 6: International co-operation.

INIS Atomindex is a semi-monthly abstracting journal prepared by computer electronic publishing from the INIS Database on magnetic tape. It is printed on a high resolution laser printer. The bulk of the information contained in the magnetic tapes is present in INIS Atomindex. The major exception to this are the subject descriptors, whose main purpose is for online searching. These are omitted from all INIS Atomindex entries that are accompanied by abstracts, for which entries only the key descriptors are printed. Each issue of INIS Atomindex contains bibliographic descriptions, descriptors and, usually, abstracts for all items recorded in the system, namely books, research reports, patents, journal articles, conference papers, etc. About 80 000 references per year are grouped by subject categories. Each issue includes a personal author index, a corporate entry index, a report, standard and patent number index, a subject index, and two conference indexes by date and place. The references are in English with the titles also given in the original language - transliterated where necessary. The abstracts are printed in English and may, in addition, appear in French, Russian or Spanish, the other official languages of the IAEA. Twenty-four issues are published per year, cumulative indexes are published annually. The first issue of each year includes a list of the journals regularly scanned for in-scope articles.

This guide supplements Safety Series No. 110: The Safety of Nuclear Installations, a safety fundamentals publication, and Safety Series No. 50-C-O (Rev. 1): Code on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Operation. It primarily provides guidance on the conduct of a periodic safety review (PSR) of an operational nuclear power plant. A PSR is designed to take a comprehensive account of improvements in safety standards and operating practices, cumulative effects of plant ageing, modifications and feedback of operating experience, and developments in science and technology that have occurred over a ten year period. PSRs provide the means for determining necessary or worthwhile changes aimed at maintaining high levels of plant safety and harmonizing the safety of older plants with that of modern plants.
