Proceedings of a conference, Vienna, 4–8 September 1995. The aim of the symposium was to provide a forum for exchange on the operational safety of nuclear power plants with the purpose of further developing tools which permit a systematic comprehension of management and organizational effects on plant safety. The concept of safety culture, the concept of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), risk analysis and operating experience feedback programmes represent such tools. In using these, human factors and organizational performance are of major importance. Many of these tools are capable of further development.
Contents: Opening session; Managing and regulating safe regulation; Safety performance and lessons learned; Improving operational safety using probabilistic safety analysis; Enhancing safety; Rapporteurs’ reports and closing remarks; Poster presentations.

Proceedings of a symposium organized in co-operation with WHO, Vienna, 21-25 August 1995. The present status and future prospects of nuclear medicine tomography were the main topics of discussion. The purpose of the symposium was to share experience and information on new developments and clinical applications of two promising tomographic techniques: SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) and PET (positron emission tomography). SPECT is currently being used universally in clinical practice, while PET, orignally developed as a technique for research, has gradually moved from the research laboratory to the clinical environment. The significant differences in nuclear medicine capabilities, especially in tomography, between developed and developing countries were given particular attention at a panel discussion.
Contents: Plenary lecture; Instrumentation and data analysis; Tumours and infection; Bones and joints; The brain; Radiopharmaceuticals and the kidneys; The heart; Panel summary.

Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the EC, ESCAP, IAEA, IIASA, OECD/NEA, OPEC, UNEP, UNIDO, IBRD and WMO, Vienna, 16-19 October 1995. The symposium was convened as part of the inter-agency joint project on databases and methodologies for comparative assessment of different energy sources for electricity generation (DECADES). Its objective was to enhance and strengthen information sharing and co-operation between interested and affected parties in the field of electricity demand analysis and supply planning, aiming at implementing sustainable policies in the power sector, taking into account economic, social, health and environmental aspects.

Proceedings of a symposium organized in co-operation with UNESCO and held in Vienna, 20–24 March 1995. The main topics addressed were water resources management, with emphasis on origin and recharge of groundwater, groundwater dynamics and pollution, modelling approaches and geothermal and palaeowater resources. The remaining discussions were concerned with surface water and sediments, unsaturated zones and methodological aspects. The proceedings contain the papers of 43 oral presentations and the extended synopses of over 100 poster presentations.
Contents: (Vol. 1) Recent developments; Surface water and sediments; Unsaturated zones; Origin and recharge of groundwater.

Proceedings of a symposium, Vienna, 8-12 May 1995. This was the first major IAEA meeting for more than a decade dealing specifically with the transfer of radionuclides in the environment. Its purpose was to review the information that has become available in recent years, notably as a result of the Chernobyl accident but also gained from studies of the discharges from civil and military nuclear facilities in the early nuclear age. This information has been used for improving the reliability of environmental model predictions, and the main results of the IAEA/CEC programme on Validation of Environmental Model Predictions (VAMP) were presented. In addition, progress in the IAEA programme on the International Arctic Seas Assessment Project (IASAP) was summarized.

Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 19–23 June 1995. The aim of the symposium was to review current aspects of mutation and molecular biology techniques for use in crop improvement and to bridge the gap between practical plant breeding and molecular techniques. Problems of crop improvement worldwide, and their possible solution, were discussed. It was concluded that use of all available approaches, including mutation and molecular biology techniques, will be crucial to future plant breeding programmes in order to meet the world’s food production challenges.
