Описание: The rapid pace of technological change constantly gives rise to new ethical dilemmas. This provides a practical introduction for engineering students that emphasizes ethical decision-making. The authors situate engineering ethics in the wider context of business and environmental ethics and guide students through case studies emphasizing value conflicts often encountered in engineering.
Описание: This publication presents the results of an IAEA coordinated research project entitled Development of Nuclear Security Assessment Methodologies (NUSAM) for Regulated Facilities. It includes a description of the completed NUSAM methodology as well as the results of applying that methodology to three case studies covering the following facilities/activities: a nuclear power plant, an irradiator facility and a radioactive material transport.
Описание: Presents the results of an IAEA coordinated research project which served as a forum for the establishment of a research reactor material properties database for irradiated core structural components that are important to safety.
Описание: This book focuses on climate change and sustainable development, showcasing examples of research, projects and other initiatives aimed at educating various target groups.
Описание: The book starts with an overview of Climate Science. Mathematical models to project future climate and the resulting concerns, global adaptation experiences, and opportunities for future execution are explained. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Описание: This publication reports on the DACCORD project, which supports Member States in preparing preliminary cost estimates for the decommissioning of research reactors. The report is of particular benefit to programmes with limited decommissioning experience. Costing projects for the decommissioning of research reactors can be broad in scope with many possible inputs and influences that require due consideration in developing the estimate. The publication provides information on unit factors for research reactor decommissioning and a basis for estimating uncertainties and contingencies and for assessing the impact of decommissioning planning and characterization activities. It also addresses the use of the CERREX?D2 (Cost Estimate for Research Reactors in Excel) software code, developed by the IAEA to enable non?specialist users to develop preliminary cost estimates for decommissioning.
Описание: Presents the results of a collaborative project on key indicators for innovative nuclear energy systems. This publication describes the approach and several case studies performed by Member States to evaluate, on a comparative basis, both nuclear energy system and nuclear energy evolution scenario options.
Описание: This publication presents the outcomes of an IAEA coordinated research project on assessing the national economic effects of nuclear programmes in participating Member States. It provides a short description of the extended input–output model for sustainable power generation (EMPOWER), developed by the IAEA, and presents concise summaries of its applications. It further includes the results produced by the contributing research teams and summarizes general insights drawn from the national studies. The publication illustrates the state of the art of assessing macroeconomic impacts of nuclear energy programmes. It is expected to support further applications of advanced models to improve the understanding of macroeconomic and sectoral impacts of building and operating nuclear power plants
Описание: Provides an overview of the technical issues related to wet and dry storage of spent fuel and summarizes the objectives and major findings of the research carried out within the framework of the an IAEA coordinated research project.
Описание: Illustrates the state of the art in supercritical water cooled reactor (SCWR) research and development. This is a key supporting publication to researchers and engineers pursuing the development of SCWRs or equipment/components operating at supercritical pressures.
Описание: Climate change is changing the context of spatial planning and shaping its priorities. It has strengthened its environmental dimension and has become a new rationale for coordinating actions and integrating different policy priorities. This book sets out the economic, social and environmental challenges that climate change raises for urban and regional planners and explores current and potential responses. These are set within the context of recent research and scholarly works on the role of spatial planning in combating climate change. Addressing both mitigation measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the effects of climate change, the book provides an overview of emerging practice, with analysis of the drivers of policy change and practical implementation of measures. It scopes planning issues and opportunities at different spatial scales, drawing on both the UK and international experiences and highlighting the need to link global and local responses to shared risks and opportunities.
