Proceedings of a symposium held in Arlington, Virginia, USA, 29 November – 3 December 1999. Radioactive residues can originate from several sources and may give rise to radiation exposure of people. The purpose of the symposium was to exchange information and to generally discuss the question of whether the restoration of environments affected by radioactive residues is required and to what extent it should be performed. These proceedings include all papers presented and discussions held at the symposium.
Contents: Opening session; Global overview; Restoration principles and criteria; Case Studies: A. Nuclear testing sites; B. Legacy of discharges; C. Accidents; D. Mining and milling activities; E. Residues from the termination of practices; Critical analysis of case studies; Role of public participation; Closing session.

Proceedings of an international conference organized in co-operation with EC, OECD/NEA and 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, 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 these proceedings.
Contents: Executive summary; Policies of the operating organizations; Basic international principles and recommendations; Other relevant background material; Safety issues in the siting of radioactive waste management facilities; Legislative and general radiation safety aspects; Safety issues in the predisposal management of radioactive waste; Safety issues in the near surface disposal of radioactive waste; Safety issues in the geological disposal of radioactive waste; Safety management of disused radioactive sources; Transboundary movement of radioactive waste; Conclusions and recommendations; Closing session

Proceedings of an international conference, Vienna, 31 August - 4 September 1998. The objective of the conference was to foster the exchange of information on topical issues in nuclear, radiation and radioactive waste safety, with the aim of consolidating an international consensus on the current status of these issues, priorities for future work, and the need for strengthening international co-operation, including recommendations for the IAEA's future activities. The proceedings contain the opening session addresses, topical issue papers, keynote presentations, current issue presentations, conclusions of the six technical sessions and the conference chairperson's summary of findings and conclusion, as well as a CD-ROM with all contributed papers.
Contents: Opening session; Safety management; Occupational radiation protection: Trends and developments; Backfitting, upgrading and modernization of nuclear power plants; Radiological protection principles for situations of chronic exposure to residual radioactive materials: Decommissioning and rehabilitation and reclamation of land; Radiation safety in the distant future: The issue of the disposal of long lived waste; Regulatory strategies; Current issues; Concluding session; Summary of sessions.

Proceedings of a conference jointly organized with WHO, in co-operation with UNSCEAR, Seville, Spain, 17–21 November 1997. The purpose of the conference was to foster information exchange on the health effects of low doses of ionizing radiation, the regulatory approach to the control of low level radiation exposure, and the connection between these matters and the so-called linear, no threshold assumption concerning the effects of low doses.
Contents: Opening session; Reports form international organizations on biological effects of ionizing radiation; Reports on related international conferences; Molecular mechanisms of radiation effects: Point and clastogenic mutations (Forum 1); Adaptive responses: Enhanced repair and apoptosis (Forum 2); Multistage processes of radiation induced malignancies; Mechanisms of initiation, promotion and progression (Forum 3); Hereditary effects (Forum 4); Epidemiological evidence (Forum 5); Radiobiological issues in the application of epidemiological evidence (Forum 6); Effects of low doses on human health: Radiation risk estimates (Forum 7); From the scientific evidence to radiation protection (Special session); Control measures for practices causing exposure (Forum 8); Reduction of existing doses by intervention (Forum 9); Chronic exposure situations: Radiological criteria for restoration of land (Forum 10); Regulatory control and scientific research; Summary session; Closing session.

Proceedings of a symposium on Diagnosis and Control of Livestock Diseases Using Nuclear and Related Techniques jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 7-11 April 1997. The purpose of the symposium was to consider the application of science to livestock production as a complex of socioeconomic problems. It dealt not only with the impact of developments in serology and molecular biology, but also with questions of epidemiology, vaccines, information networks, geographical information systems and socioeconomic factors.
Contents: Part I: Milk production systems; Part I(a). Intensive dairying systems; Part I(b). Dual purpose systems; Part II. Beef production systems; Part III: Sheep and goat production systems; Part IV: Camelids.
