The
International Basic Safety Standards for Protection
against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of
Radiation Sources (BSS), jointly sponsored, inter alia,
by the IAEA, ILO, WHO and PAHO, establish requirements
on the legal persons responsible for designing, running
and decommissioning practices involving ionizing
radiation. These requirements are basic and general in
nature. This |
|
report
is
intended to be of assistance to both regulators and
users of radiation sources in radiotherapy in applying
the BSS to this practice. Regulators will find it useful
for reviewing applications for authorization and for the
inspection of the practice. Users of radiation in
radiotherapy may follow the guidance provided in order
to comply with BSS requirements or equivalent national
requirements. Experts recruited on IAEA missions to
advise on the implementation of the BSS for the practice
of radiotherapy are expected to use the guidance given
in this report rather than their own national
regulations and guidance.

Nuclear
Medicine Resources Manual
IAEA, 2006, 529 p.
This resources manual
provides comprehensive guidance at an international
level in many aspects of nuclear medicine practice,
including education, training, facilities and equipment,
quality systems, and radiopharmacy and clinical
practice. The manual has been written with routine
clinical practice in mind and therefore provides advice
on many practical points that should help both new and
also more developed nuclear medicine centres. The new
centres will find specific information essential for
setting up the provision |
|
of
the service, and the more developed centres will find
numerous updated protocols and suggestions on improving
operational performance. The manual will be of interest
to nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, medical
educationalists, diagnostic centre managers, medical
physicists, medical technologists, radiopharmacists,
specialist nurses, clinical scientists, laboratory
scientists, and those engaged in high quality systems in
public health.

Reglamento
para el transporte seguro de materiales radiactivos
IAEA, 2005,
161 p.
The
purpose of these regulations is to establish standards
of safety that provide an acceptable level of control of
the radiation hazards to persons, property and the
environment that are associated with the transport of
radioactive material. These regulations apply to the
transport of radioactive
material by all modes of transport, including transport
that |
|
is
incidental to the use of the radioactive material.
Transport is deemed to comprise all operations and
conditions associated with and involved in the movement
of radioactive material; these include the design,
fabrication and maintenance of packaging, and the
preparation, consigning, handling, carriage, storage in
transit and receipt at the final destination of
packages. Transport includes normal and accident
conditions encountered in carriage and in storage during
transit.

Nuclear
Energy:
Powering America’s Future
NEI, s. f., 8 p.
This
publication explains why new nuclear plants need be
built to meet future energy demand in the United States.
It covers nuclear energy’s essential role in keeping
our air clean, its superior performance and safety
record, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s new
licensing
procedures, recent business alliances to test the
combined operating and construction licensing
process, |
|
and
the importance of investing now in new baseload
electricity generation.

Nuclear
Power Reactors in the World
April
2006, 81 p.
This
is the twenty-sixth edition of Reference Data Series No.
2, which presents the most recent reactor data available
to the IAEA. It contains summarized information as of
the end of 2005 on: (1) power reactors operating or
under construction, and shut down; and (2) performance
data on reactors operating in the IAEA Member States, as
reported to the IAEA. The information is collected by
the IAEA through designated national correspondents in
the Member States. The replies are used to maintain the
IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS). |

Optimización
de la protección radiológica en el control de la
exposición ocupacional
IAEA, 2004, 76 p.
This
Safety Report provides practical information on the
application of the principle of the optimization of
radiation protection in the workplace. It emphasizes the
importance of integrating radiation protection into the
work management system and of the involvement of
management and workers alike in setting up and
implementing a radiation protection system.

Preliminary
Observations on Its Process to Oversee the Safe
Operation of Nuclear Power Plants
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, June 19, 2006, 23
p.
The
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has the
responsibility to provide oversight to ensure that the
nation's 103 commercial nuclear power plants are
operated safely. While the safety of these plants has
always been important, since radioactive release could
harm the public and the
environment,
NRC's oversight has become even more critical as
the Congress and the nation consider |
|
the potential
resurgence of nuclear power in helping to meet the
nation's growing energy needs. Prior to 2000, NRC was
criticized for having a safety oversight process that
was not always focused on the most important safety
issues and in some cases, was overly subjective. To
address these and other concerns, NRC implemented a new
oversight process--the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP).
NRC continues to modify the ROP to incorporate feedback
from stakeholders and in response to other external
events. This testimony summarizes information on (1) how
NRC oversees nuclear power plants, (2) the results of
the ROP over the past several years, and (3) the aspects
of the ROP that need improvement and the status of NRC's
efforts to improve them. This testimony discusses
preliminary results of GAO's work. GAO will report in
full at a later date. GAO analyzed program-wide
information, inspection results covering 5 years of ROP
operations, and detailed findings from a sample of 11
plants.

Guía de indicaciones
para la correcta solicitud de pruebas de diagnóstico por imagen
Comisión Europea, Dirección General de Medio
Ambiente, 2000, 41 p.
Estas directrices sobre
la remisión de pacientes a los servicios de
diagnóstico por la imagen provienen parcialmente del
folleto «Making the best use of a Department of
Clinical Radiology: Guidelines for Doctors» [«La mejor
manera de hacer uso de un servicio de radiología
clínica: directrices para los médicos»], publicado en
1998 por el Real Colegio de Radiólogos |
|
del
Reino Unido (1). Diversos grupos de expertos de
varios países las han adaptado, y también se han
recogido comentarios de sociedades de medicina nuclear
de los Estados miembros a través de las asociaciones
europeas de radiología y medicina nuclear de los
Estados miembros. La Comisión Europea há coordinado
este proceso. Las directrices pueden servir a los
Estados miembros como modelo, aunque se reconoce que
puede ser necesario seguir adaptándolas en
función de las diversas prácticas asistenciales y de
prestación de servicios. El Real Colegio de Radiólogos
preparará la próxima edición de las directrices
(presidenta del grupo de trabajo: profesora Gillian
Needham, Aberdeen), en colaboración con la Comisión
Europea y los distintos organismos especializados de la
Comunidad Europea. Estas directrices se basarán más
todavía en pruebas, y tendrán en cuenta las prácticas
tanto europeas como británicas.
