Organization and Management for Decommissioning of Large Nuclear Facilities
Technical Reports Series No. 399
This report provides information and guidance on the organization and management of the decommissioning of large nuclear facilities with an emphasis on organizational aspects. It identifies the general issues to be addressed and provides an overview of the organizational activities necessary to manage a decommissioning project in a safe, timely and cost effective manner. The following topics are addressed: (i) decommissioning staff, organizational structures, roles, responsibilities, lines of communication and reporting, interactions with external stakeholders; (ii) use of contractors versus in-house work; (iii) quality assurance, including monitoring activities and record-keeping; (iv) qualifications and training; (v) work packages; and (vi) management techniques.

Methods for the minimisation of Radioactive Waste from Decontamination and Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities
Technical Report Series No. 401
This report analyses the principles and factors to be considered when selecting a waste minimization strategy, such as the level of development or the availability of technology, national policies and regulations, technical traditions and economic considerations. Its primary objective is to identify all important stages and components in the decision making process which need to be considered when planning and implementing a waste minimization programme during decommissioning operations.

Handling and Processing of Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Applications
Technical Report Series No. 402
This report provides detailed information on the handling, processing and storage techniques most widely used and recommended for waste from non-fuel-cycle activities, i.e. radioactive waste generated during the application of nuclear techniques and radioisotopes in industry, medicine, research and education. The report was designed to meet mainly the needs of developing countries by focusing on the most simple, affordable and reliable techniques and discussing their advantages and limitations.

Legal and Governmental Infrastructure for Nuclear, Radiation, Radioactive Waste and Transport Safety: Safety Requirements
Safety Standards Series No. GS-R-1
This Safety Requirements publication establishes the basic requirements for legal and governmental infrastructures for nuclear, radiation, radioactive waste and transport safety. It should be used in conjunction with Safety Series No. 115, International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (1996) and Safety Standards Series No. TS-R-1 (ST-1, Revised), Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material - 1996 Edition (Revised) (2000). It supersedes both Safety Series No 50-C-G (Rev. 1), Code on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Governmental Organization (1988) and Safety Series No. 111-S-1, Establishing a National System for Radioactive Waste Management (1995).

Decommissioning of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities
Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-2.4
This Safety Guide gives recommendations relating to the decommissioning of nuclear fuel cycle facilities. The guidance provided is derived from the basic principles for radioactive waste management set out in the Safety Requirements publication, Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-2, Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste, Including Decommissioning (2000), and in Safety Series No. 111-F, The Principles of Radioactive Waste Management:
A Safety Fundamental (1995).
(Date 2001, ISBN 92-0-101001-X)

Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste, Including Decommissioning
Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-2
This publication establishes safety requirements relating to the predisposal of radioactive waste arising from the operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities; the application of radionuclides in industry, medicine and research; the processing of raw materials containing naturally occurring radionuclides; and the cleanup of contaminated sites. Safety requirements for the relevant aspects of decommissioning of nuclear facilities are established. The book includes provisions required to bring radioactive waste into a state suitable for storage or disposal in designated facilities and to ensure the safety of the facilities. Relevant requirement and associated responsibilities for the protection of human health and the environment are included. The safety requirements are established on the basis of principles set out in the Safety Fundamentals publication; The Principles of Radioactive Waste Management (1995) (Safety Series No. 111-F).
(Date 2000, ISBN 92-0-100300-5)

Regulatory Control of Radioactive Discharges to the Environment Safety Guide
Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-2.3
This Safety Guide makes recommendations concerning the regulatory process for controlling the discharge of liquid and gaseous effluents to the environment from normal controlled operations of practices in which radioactive material is used. It provides guidance on how to meet the requirements established in the Safety Requirements publication, Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-2, Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste Including Decommissioning (2000). It expands on and interprets the principles stated in the Safety Fundamentals publications Safety Series No. 111-F, The Principles of Radioactive Waste Management (1995), and Safety Series No. 120, Radiation protection and the Safety of Radiation Sources (1996). It also elaborates on how to fulfil the requirements established in Safety Series No. 115, International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (1996) and Safety Standards No. GS-R-1, Legal and Governmental Infrastructure for Nuclear, Radiation, Radioactive Waste and Transport Safety (2000).

Safety of Radioactive Waste Management Proceedings
Proceedings of an international conference organized in co-operation with the EC, the OECD/NEA and the WHO, and held in Córdoba, Spain, 13-17 March 2000. The purpose of the conference was to provide an international forum for senior experts in the field to discuss safety issues in radioactive waste management, in order to promote an international consensus and to foster information exchange on issues related to the international corpus of safety standards and, particularly, on the implementation of the State parties' obligations under the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management. These proceedings contain all the presentations and summaries of all discussions, the opening and closing addresses and the conclusions and recommendations of the Chairpersons. The contributed papers are provided on a CD-ROM which accompanies this proceedings
