Considerations for Deploying Artificial Intelligence Applications in the Nuclear Power Industry
STI/PUB/2119 ¦ English ¦ 70 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries has unveiled its transformative potential for enhancing the safety, security, efficiency and reliability of nuclear power plants (NPP). While AI technologies are advancing rapidly in various fields, their adoption in the nuclear power industry remains in the nascent stages, characterized by pilot projects and limited deployment. This publication provides general guidance on the aspects that need addressing when deploying AI applications in NPPs. It presents the latest information, up to date best practices, experiences, benefits and challenges related to AI in the life cycle of NPPs.
Considerations to Facilitate the Accelerated Deployment of Small Modular Reactors
IAEA-TECDOC-2104 ¦ English ¦ ISBN 978-92-0-121225-2 ¦ Date published: 2025
This TECDOC was developed under the Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative (NHSI), Industrial Track Topical Group 4. The work of Topical Group 4 is designed to support the accelerated deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) by offering practical guidance to policymakers, nuclear energy programme implementing organizations, owner/operators, regulators and industry leaders. Drawing on global expertise and SMR development insights, it outlines key infrastructure issues under the IAEA Milestones Approach that may be impacted by nuclear power programmes tailored specifically to SMR technologies. It also lays out a critical path to streamline project timelines, optimize resources and ensure that the deployment is safe, secure and sustainable. Whether for countries embarking on nuclear energy for the first time or expanding existing programmes, this guide serves as a strategic roadmap for successful SMR implementation.
IAEA World Fusion Outlook 2025
IAEA/PAT/012 ¦ English ¦ 89 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
The IAEA’s World Fusion Outlook aims to be the global reference for authoritative information and updates on fusion energy — a potentially unlimited, clean energy source, which can contribute to diversification of energy generation in the long term. The IAEA has been promoting fusion energy research and development for almost 70 years, and it continues to strongly support research and development and future deployment by bringing the fusion community together to create solutions for both scientific and technological challenges. This third issue of the publication presents a selection of recent achievements in fusion energy, outlines some of the dozens of fusion plant concepts currently at various stages of development worldwide, highlights global
efforts in fusion energy development and discusses for the first time the global outlook for fusion energy deployment. As a special focus topic, this edition of the publication explores high temperature superconductors and their potential role in the commercialization of fusion energy.
Coal to Nuclear: Supporting a Clean Energy Transition
IAEA/PAT/013 ¦ English ¦ 62 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
The global energy landscape is undergoing rapid changes, and in many countries, this requires policies that align economic development priorities with objectives of secure, reliable and clean energy. Nuclear energy stands as an essential pillar for delivering affordable, low-carbon, and firm power. Worldwide, several initiatives are identifying nuclear as a viable option to replace aging coal plants while maintaining grid stability and reliability, safeguarding jobs, reducing emissions, and utilizing existing infrastructure, water resources, and skilled labour. The IAEA’s Coal to Nuclear report, developed in partnership with the South African 2025 G20 Presidency, offers a comprehensive overview of how nuclear energy can provide a sustainable alternative to coal, generate local economic and environmental benefits, and guide relevant policy decisions. With a focus on South Africa but enriched with case studies from around the world, the publication informs governments, policymakers, financiers, and stakeholders on nuclear energy’s potential as a clean technology to secure energy supply and advance industrialization and economic development.
Monitoring for Protection of the Public and the Environment
STI/PUB/2121 ¦ English ¦ ISBN 978-92-0-116125-3 ¦ 98 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
This comprehensive guide updates the 2005 safety guide, providing recommendations for designing and implementing monitoring programs to verify the level of protection for the public and the environment across planned, emergency and existing exposure situations. Intended for governments, regulatory bodies, operating organizations and other interested parties, this publication provides essential guidance on establishing responsibilities for monitoring under the national regulatory frameworks, designing and implementing monitoring programmes and strategies, and interpreting and reporting monitoring results. It offers practical insights and structured approaches to support effective assessment, management and control of public and environmental radiation exposures through the establishment of national monitoring infrastructures.
Human Reliability Analysis for Nuclear Installations
STI/PUB/2102 ¦ English ¦ 127 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
The objective of this publication is to describe the state of the art framework of human reliability analysis (HRA) with a detailed description of HRA procedures and factors to be considered in the process of an HRA. It is intended to be applied for both new and existing nuclear installations. This publication is intended to be used by a broad spectrum of analysts, for example probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) practitioners and human factor engineers, as well as regulatory bodies, utilities, research institutes, technical support organizations and designers of nuclear installations.
Dose Management Systems
STI/PUB/2112 ¦ English ¦ ISBN: 978-92-0-108725-6 ¦ 145 pages ¦ Date published: 2025
This publication provides comprehensive guidance on dose management systems (DMS), an essential tool for advancing quality assurance, patient safety and optimization in medical imaging. DMS technology has become integral to modern clinical practice, enabling the collection, monitoring and evaluation of patient dose metrics and technical data from both ionizing and non-ionizing imaging modalities. Beyond dose tracking, these systems facilitate the optimization of imaging protocols, enhance quality management programmes and support regulatory compliance, which make them indispensable for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care. This publication is targeted at health professionals, including clinically qualified medical physicists, medical radiation technologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and health managers.
