Management of Cervical Cancer: Strategies for Limited-resource Centres - A Guide for Radiation Oncologists
IAEA Human Health Reports, 2013, 77 p.

Clinical guidelines for the management of cervical cancer exist in the published literature. However, these guidelines have usually been developed in and for an affluent environment where all modern diagnosis and treatment modalities and tools are available to the practitioner. This publication is aimed at radiation oncologists working in centres with limited resources and treating a large number of patients with cervical

cancer. The approach and techniques recommended are intended to be evidence based, simple, feasible and resource-sparing, to the extent that this is possible when dealing with a complex treatment modality such as radiotherapy.

Estudio de la exposición debida a la utilización de torio en industrias no radiológicas
Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear, 4 diciembre 2013, 18 p.

El objetivo global del proyecto ha sido la determinación del impacto radiológico que el uso de materiales toriados ejerce sobre la población española y el desarrollo de una metodología que permita cuantificar el impacto en instalaciones específicas. Para su realización se ha partido de los documentos de la Unión Europea Reference levels for workplaces processing materials with enhanced levels of naturally occurring radionuclides y Establishment of reference

levels for regulatory control of workplaces where materials are processed which contain enhanced levels of naturally-occurring radionuclides, así como el de la Comisión Reguladora Nuclear de los Estados Unidos de América Systematic radiological assessment of exemptions for source and byproduct materials donde se señala la necesidad de efectuar estudios del impacto radiológico sobre la población debidos a la utilización de diversos radionucleidos naturales, entre ellos el uso de materiales toriados. Así mismo, se han utilizado otros documentos referidos al uso de materiales con contenido radiactivo natural.

Science for a Healthy Planet and Safer World - The 2013 Annual Report
Union of Concerned Scientists, 2014, 28 p.

Polarization and political gridlock in Washington were worse than ever in 2013. But, thanks to your help, we didn’t let that stop us—or even slow us down. We fought partisanship with solutions that address oil consumption, clean energy, nuclear safety, healthier food, the consequences of global warming, and much more.
Across the country, we championed the vital roles that independent science and technical analysis should play in

making choices that build a healthier planet and safer world, and found widespread enthusiasm and many new partners for this solutions-oriented approach.
In New Jersey, one year after Hurricane Sandy, we gathered state and federal officials, scientists, and community groups to reflect upon the realities of climate change and help the region prepare for a future with more disruptive weather.
In California, we engaged experts and activists from across the political spectrum to explore how communities can access and apply the best available scientific information on hydraulic fracturing and other unconventional oil and gas extraction techniques.
We beat back the fossil fuel industry’s attempts to weaken renewable energy standards in a dozen states and helped 14 states pass new standards or strengthen existing ones.
We worked with both industry representatives and environmentalists to finalize tough new vehicle standards that will nearly double the fuel economy of new cars and light trucks by 2025, saving millions of barrels of oil each day.

Standard Operating Procedures for PET/CT: A Practical Approach for Use in Adult Oncology
IAEA Human Health Series, 2013, 116 p.

Written by experts from several continents, the book provides an up to date, evidence based and comprehensive overview of operating procedures forFDG-PET/CT imaging in adult oncology patients. The text is based on consensus and agreement among the authors, following a systematic approach of relying on personal experience and the available scientific evidence on all the subjects included. Due to the

evolving nature of PET/CT imaging, which is a rapidly growing technology, this publication will undoubtedly need to be updated on a regular basis. It may well be that each PET/CT centre will have to modify the recommendations provided here to suit its own particular circumstances, according to, inter alia, the type of scanner, patient population, use of intravenous contrast, availability of FDG, professional staff experience, local regulations andpreferences of referring physicians.

INPRO Assessment of the Planned Nuclear Energy System of Belarus
IAEA TECDOC 1716 IAEA-TECDOC-1716 (ISBN:978-92-0-112910-9)
Language: English, Date Published: 2013

INPRO is an international project to help ensure that nuclear energy is available to contribute in a sustainable manner to meeting the energy needs of the 21st century. Between July 2009 and October 2011, Belarus undertook a review using INPRO methodology of their planned nuclear energy system with regard to its long-range sustainability. This report

comprises a description of the assessed nuclear energy system based on novel reactors of Russian design (AES-2006) and the results of assessment of that system using the INPRO methodology. The report identifies follow up actions for the further development and successful implementation of nuclear energy in Belarus. The publication may also serve as a model Nuclear Energy System Assessment for other Member States, as it covers all seven INPRO areas (Safety, Infrastructure, Proliferation Resistance, Physical Protection, Waste Management, Environment and Economics).

Promoting Alternatives to High-Risk Radiological Sources: The Case of Cesium Chloride in Blood Irradiation
James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, March 2014, 40 p.

In 2008, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences published a landmark report Radiation Source Use and Replacement, which examined the feasibility of replacing high-risk radioactive sources with less risky (and most likely non-isotopic alternatives) in order to forestall an act of radiological terrorism. The report expressed particular concern about the threat posed by the continued use of one isotope—cesium chloride—whose
