The document also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, including government bodies, regulatory authorities, technical support organizations, operators and educational institutions, in developing, implementing and periodically assessing capacity building needs. It includes a comprehensive self-assessment questionnaire.
Integrated Review Service for Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Management, Decommissioning and Remediation (ARTEMIS) Guidelines
IAEA-SVS-52 ¦ English ¦ 64 pages ¦ Date published: 2026
The Integrated Review Service for Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Management, Decommissioning and Remediation (ARTEMIS) was established by the IAEA to provide Member States with independent expert opinion and advice on radioactive waste and spent fuel management, decommissioning and remediation. ARTEMIS helps strengthen national arrangements, including policies, strategies and regulatory frameworks, for radioactive waste and spent fuel management, decommissioning and remediation. This publication provides a systematic and consistent methodology for conducting all activities associated with ARTEMIS. It is intended for IAEA Member States interested in requesting an ARTEMIS review, as well as for reviewers and for IAEA staff involved in organizing such reviews.
Innovative Techniques and Technologies to Support Characterisation and Decommissioning of Complex and Legacy Sites: WPTES Workshop Proceedings
NEA/DLM/R(2024)2 ¦ English ¦ 116 pages ¦ Date published: 2026
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Working Party on Technical, Environmental and Safety Aspects of Decommissioning and Legacy Management (WPTES) organised an international workshop, Innovative Techniques and Technologies to Support Characterisation and Decommissioning of Complex and Legacy Sites, that took place in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, from 29 November to 1 December 2022. Topics included innovative site and radiological characterisation, as well as decommissioning techniques and technologies. The workshop also provided information on the application of existing technologies to new problems including lessons learnt, best practices and overcoming challenges associated with the use of existing technologies. The workshop contributions and the main discussion topics are summarised in these proceedings.
Establishment and Implementation of a Trustworthiness Programme for Nuclear Security
STI/PUB/2126 ¦ English ¦ ISBN 978-92-0-118925-7 ¦ 52 pages ¦ Date published: 2026
This publication provides comprehensive guidance on establishing and implementing a trustworthiness programme for nuclear security with a focus on preventive and protective measures to address threats posed by insiders. It outlines practical approaches for assessing and determining the trustworthiness of individuals, as well as for monitoring their ongoing reliability and integrity. It also offers guidance on granting access authorization to nuclear material, other radioactive material, associated facilities and activities, as well as sensitive information and digital assets, including those that can be accessed remotely. Furthermore, it demonstrates how the trustworthiness programme forms an integral part of a defence in depth strategy within the broader framework of nuclear security.
Nuclear Knowledge Management and Human Resources Development: Challenges and Opportunities - Proceedings of an International Conference Held in Vienna, Austria, 1–5 July 2024
STI/PUB/ 2138 ¦ English ¦ ISBN 978-92-0-100726-1 ¦ 172 pages ¦ Date published: 2026
