The objective of this publication is to identify challenges and opportunities related to the work management process (WMP) that nuclear power plant (NPP) owner/ operating organizations are facing, to share best practices for addressing those challenges and to discuss considerations for effective WMP. It aims to assist leaders and managers in those organizations to improve effectiveness of the WMP and to sustain operational excellence.

The Country Nuclear Power Profiles (CNPP) provide background information on the status and development of nuclear power programmes of Member States. The CNPP's main objectives are to consolidate information on the nuclear power infrastructure and developments in participating countries, and serve as a resource in effective planning, decision making and implementation of nuclear power programmes that lead to the safe and economical operations of nuclear power plants.

The CNPP summarizes organizational and industrial aspects of nuclear power programmes and provides information about the relevant legislative, regulatory and international framework in each country. The descriptive and statistical overview of the overall energy and electricity situation in each country and its nuclear power framework are intended to serve as an integrated source of key background information about nuclear power programmes in the world. Statistical data about nuclear plant operations, energy and electricity use are drawn from national contributions and the IAEA's Power Reactor Information System (PRIS).

The CNPP website is updated on an annual basis, with a complementary publication providing a high-level overview of programmes in participating Member States. Currently, it contains historical country information for 50 countries, including countries currently operating nuclear power plants, and countries with past or planned nuclear power programmes. The CNPP reports are updated based on information voluntarily provided by participating IAEA Member States. Each of the profiles in this publication is self-standing and contains information officially provided by the respective national authorities.

From the 2020 edition onward, updated profiles cover Member States that are operating, expanding, or constructing nuclear power reactors in addition to those that were formerly operational.

The objective of this report is to provide an overview of frameworks, approaches and tools currently used in the scope of decision-making regarding environmental remediation projects. This publication also aims to identify gaps in existing knowledge and tools and make available an analysis of ways to improve the mechanisms that are currently used in decision-making in the scope of environmental remediation projects. This publication is intended for policymakers, governmental organisations, industries related to naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), regulators, consultants in the area of NORM and academia.

This IAEA-WHO framework serves as an invaluable resource for countries in their ongoing efforts to strengthen their capacity for cancer control. Sharing the expertise of professionals from around the globe, it comprehensively outlines the fundamental principles of multidisciplinary cancer care. Additionally, it provides detailed descriptions of the essential infrastructure, human resources, and equipment necessary to deliver various cancer services. The purpose of this publication is to provide the context and requirements for specific services in a cancer centre, serving as guidance for evaluating and enhancing the quality of services. It is designed to support the growth and development of existing cancer centres, as well as in planning and establishment of new ones. By aligning with the main objectives of the IAEA Rays of Hope initiative, this publication contributes to the advancement of cancer care on a global scale.

This publication provides detailed information for operating organizations of research reactors on methodologies to manage existing and potential ageing effects and the degradation of structures, systems and components. Practical guidance is presented on managing the effects of ageing on civil structures, on mechanical, electrical and instrumentation and control systems, and on reactor components important for safety and operation. This publication also provides information on how to establish and implement an effective and systematic ageing management programme, including the management of modifications, modernizations and refurbishments. Several practical examples of successful ageing management programmes executed in operating research reactors are included as annexes.

To support Member States in elaborating integrated strategies to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the IAEA has developed the CLEW (climate, land, energy and water) framework, in cooperation with other UN organizations and scientific experts. The objective of this publication is to provide guidance on the application of the CLEW framework, which integrates quantitative tools for climate, land, energy and water modelling and facilitates collaboration between experts and policymakers in these domains. The publication is intended to serve as a reference for practitioners in Member States, international organizations, and NGOs seeking to apply integrated assessment approaches and methodologies to develop coherent sustainable and climate resilient energy, water and land use strategies.

Atmospheric methane is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. The present atmospheric burden of methane is unprecedented in the last 800,000 years and has almost tripled since the onset of the industrial revolution. Arising from an interregional technical cooperation project aiming to assist countries in building capacity in stable isotopes analysis of atmospheric greenhouse gases and accurately determine their source, this publication provides high-level guidance to laboratories that are new to the use of optical instruments to measure methane and its stable carbon isotope ratios. The publication covers analytical infrastructure, sampling strategies, as well as techniques for measurement, calibration, data processing analysis and interpretation. Further emphasis is on technical solutions that ensure that observations are accurate and comparable, as well as on sustainable data management techniques, and quality control procedures, to maximize the impact of newly generated data.
