This vital reference is the only one-stop resource on how to assess, prevent, and manage severe nuclear accidents in the light water reactors (LWRs) that pose the most risk to the public. LWRs are the predominant nuclear reactor in use around the world today, and they will continue to be the most frequently utilized in the near future. Therefore, accurate determination of the safety issues associated with such reactors is central to a consideration of the risks and benefits of

This book discusses the specifics of safety regulations regarding nuclear risk and how experts contribute to the safety of nuclear installations. Drawing on research conducted in collaboration with the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), the ideas that are put forward rely on a review of the practices of specialists in human and organizational factors concerning nuclear safety. The author shows that the French approach depends on maintaining a technical dialogue between the regulatory authority (ASN), IRSN

A NATO workshop was held in September 2007 under the Security through Science framework to consider the current challenges in regulation of the nuclear legacy. The overall objective was to share East-West competence and experience in radiation protection and nuclear safety supervision of installations built during the cold war, particularly in relation to regulatory strategies for safe decommissioning of unique or unusual nuclear facilities and remediation activities. There were over 60 participants from 8 countries as well as representatives from the International Commission

The Dept. of Energy (DoE) oversees contractors that operate more than 200 "high-hazard" nuclear facilities, where an accident could have serious consequences for workers and the public. DoE is charged with regulating the safety of these facilities. A key part of DoE's self-regulation is the Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS), which develops, oversees, and helps enforce nuclear safety policies. This is the only DoE safety office intended to be independent of the program offices, which carry out mission responsibilities.

This report considers a pair of draft Directives, known as the "nuclear package", which would harmonise the way EU Member States ensure the safety of nuclear installations and manage spent fuel and radioactive waste. The Committee do not think that these Directives should be adopted. Instead it thinks that the Council of Ministers should concentrate on achieving globally approved, transparent approaches to nuclear safety and require Member States to set policies for the long term management of high level radioactive

There is concern about the safety of 59 Soviet-designed nuclear power reactors that operate in the Newly Indep. States of the former Soviet Union, as well as in other nations throughout Central & Eastern Europe. Many of these reactors are similar in design to the Chernobyl reactor in Ukraine that exploded in 1986, causing the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. Deficiencies in the design of many of these reactors pose grave safety risks. This report reviews efforts to improve the
