RESUMEN

The mission of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) of India is to ensure that the use of ionising radiation and nuclear energy in India does not cause unacceptable impact on the workers, members of the public and to the environment. AERB has the mandate to carry out detailed safety review for the siting, construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning of nuclear and radiation facilities established within the country. To deliver and maintain a strong, credible and technically sound regulation, AERB has established the Safety Research Institute (SRI) at Kalpakkam with a robust technical infrastructure and wide knowledge base. This paper highlights the independent safety research activities carried out at SRI and its role to support and facilitate the decision-making process by AERB at various stages of regulatory review for ensuring safety of the nuclear facilities in India.

RESUMEN

The world faces several problems related to natural gas resource rents and energy production from renewable sources. One of the main problems is the influence of energy imports, manufacturing exports, and alternative energy sources on natural gas and electricity production from renewable sources. Energy imports, manufacturing exports, and alternative energy sources can impact natural gas and electricity production. This paper examines natural gas resource rents and electricity production from renewable sources nexus from 1971 to 2021, using energy imports, manufacturer's exports, and alternative energy sources in China. Electricity production from renewable sources and manufacturing exports are negatively associated with natural gas resource rents. Energy imports and alternative energy sources positively relate to natural gas resource rents in China. These results suggest that the energy sector in China is highly interconnected and that policies that seek to promote renewable energy sources and other alternatives can positively affect natural gas resource rents. China needs to develop an energy policy considering the policy implications of energy imports and natural gas resource rents. Such a policy should focus on increasing domestic production, reducing energy imports, and ensuring adequate revenue from natural gas resource rents. Additionally, regulations could be implemented that support the development of alternative energy sources, such as requiring utilities to purchase a certain percentage of their power from renewable sources.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: The harm that society expects from ionizing radiation does not match experience. Evidently there is some basic error in this assumption. A reconsideration based on scientific principles shows how simple misunderstandings have exaggerated dangers. The consequences for society are far-reaching. The immediate impact of ionizing radiation on living tissue is destructive. However, this oxidative damage is similar to that produced during normal metabolic activity where the subsequent biological reaction is not only protective but also stimulates enhanced protection. This adaptation means that the response to oxidative damage depends on past experience. Similarly, social reaction to a radiological accident depends on the regulations and attitudes generated by the perception of previous instances. These shape whether nuclear technology and ionizing radiation are viewed as beneficial or as matters to avoid. Evidence of the spurious damage to society caused by such persistent fear in the second half of the 20 th century suggests that these laws and attitudes should be rebased on evidence. The three stages of radiological impact-the initial physical damage, the subsequent biological response, and the personal and social reaction-call on quite different logic and understanding. When these are confused, they lead to regulations and public policy decisions that are often inept, dangerous, and expensive. One example is when the mathematical rigor of physics, appropriate to the immediate impact, is misapplied to the adaptive behavior of biology. Another, the tortured historical reputation of nuclear technology, is misinterpreted as justifying a radiological protection policy of extreme caution.Specialized education and closed groups of experts tend to lock in interdisciplinary misperceptions. In the case of nuclear technology, the resulting lack of independent political confidence endangers the adoption of nuclear power as the replacement for fossil fuels. In the long term, nuclear energy is the only viable source of large-scale primary energy, but this requires a re-working of public understanding.

RESUMEN

The Chinese government promotes nuclear energy development in the context of mitigating climate change. However, the large-scale development is still facing challenges related to the knowledge gap among the general public and the potential "not-in-my-back-yard" objection. Based on a representative national survey, we analyze Chinese people's knowledge and perceptions of nuclear energy and estimate their willingness-to-accept the potential risks of new nuclear programs in neighborhoods via the Contingent Valuation Method. Generally, more than half of people do not know anything about nuclear energy. The main factors influencing public knowledge are identified, such as the residential distance to existing nuclear power stations and the frequency of internet use. Moreover, approximately 12% of individuals with some knowledge seem to be willing to accept new nuclear power plants in their neighborhoods with no compensation needed. Specifically, the perceptions of nuclear risks and pollution from fossil fuels are significant factors influencing people's acceptance of nuclear energy. Although public knowledge does not directly influence acceptance, more knowledge seems to reduce risk perception and increase benefit perception. The residential distance to exiting nuclear stations has limited effects on people's acceptance of newly planned nuclear programs for those living in the same county with some knowledge. In general, a typical Chinese household is willing to accept USD $5.66 every month or USD $67.97 every year to bear the potential risks of the new nuclear program in neighborhoods. Significant practical implications that can be transferable to other new energy technologies and countries or regions are provided.

RESUMEN

This study examines the dynamic relationship between the share of nuclear energy, growth in CO2 emissions, and GDP growth for the wealthiest countries of the two continents, Europe and Asia, from 1965 to 2021. The results from the SVAR model show a significant positive relationship between GDP growth and the growth of CO2 emissions in all countries. However, the values of the coefficients vary in the case of different countries of both continents. Further, it has been observed that the relationship between the growth of nuclear energy and the growth in CO2 emissions is more complex and varies from country to country. The results indicate that there is a strong negative relationship between nuclear energy and CO2 emissions in France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and India. At the same time, there is no significant relationship between Germany, Italy, and China. Finally, the result shows that there is an insignificant relationship between the growth in the share of nuclear energy and the GDP growth rate. From the policy perspective, this study suggests that alternative energy sources like nuclear energy can be leveraged to obtain a clean environment.

RESUMEN

Quality Management Audits in Nuclear Medicine (QUANUM) is an initiative conceived by the International Atomic Energy Agency to enhance global standards in Nuclear Medicine practices. Acknowledging the intricate regulatory frameworks and the necessity for multidisciplinary collaboration, QUANUM has gained global acceptance, demonstrating widespread implementation and positive impacts on patient care. This manuscript critically evaluates the QUANUM program through the lens of quality improvement (QI), by employing established and validated QI tools. Our analysis identifies areas of conformance, underscores key strengths inherent to QUANUM, and pinpoints further learning opportunities for continuous enhancement. Additionally, we assert that the insights derived from scrutinizing this global project within Nuclear Medicine, have valuable implications for departments aspiring for establishing good quality management systems, thereby contributing to the improvement of patient care.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Dose management systems (DMS) have been introduced in radiological services to facilitate patient radiation dose management and optimization in medical imaging. The purpose of this study was to gather as much information as possible on the technical characteristics of DMS currently available, regarding features that may be considered essential for simply ensuring regulatory compliance or desirable to fully utilize the potential role of DMS in optimization of many aspects of radiological examinations. METHODS: A technical survey was carried out and all DMS developers currently available (both commercial and open source) were contacted and were asked to participate. An extensive questionnaire was prepared and uploaded in the IAEA International Research Integration System (IRIS) online platform which was used for data collection process. Most of the questions (93%) required a "Yes/No" answer, to facilitate an objective analysis of the survey results. Some free text questions and comments' slots were also included, to allow participants to give additional information and clarifications where necessary. Depending on the answer, they were considered either as "Yes" or "No." RESULTS: Given the way that the questions were posed, every positive response indicated that a feature was offered. Thus, the percentage of positive responses was used as a measure of adherence. The percentages of positive answers per section (and sub-section) are presented in graphs and limitations of this type of analysis are discussed in detail. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this survey clearly exhibit that large differences exist between the various DMS developers. Consequently, potential end users of a DMS should carefully determine which of the features available are essential for their needs, prioritize desirable features, but also consider their infrastructure, the level of support required and the budget available before selecting a DMS.

RESUMEN

Energy is the most critical input for production and consumption. The inputs of energy cause irreversible damage to the environment. The studies carried out to reduce the environmental impact of the methods used in energy production are extremely valuable. This study aims to reveal the effects of technological development, nuclear energy consumption, and renewable energy use on environmental degradation. The patent numbers, technological development, GDP, renewable energy, and nuclear energy consumption data of 16 OECD countries covering the years 1996-2019 were used in the empirical analysis. The findings of panel FMOLS and DOLS methods reveal that technological progress, nuclear, and renewable energy consumption significantly reduce CO2 emissions. In line with these findings, critical policy implications have been suggested.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study is to employ panel data approach to investigate determinants of total GHG emissions in all European Union (EU) economies in years 1990-2018 and evaluate the role of nuclear energy in climate change mitigation. It incorporates the following variables potentially affecting the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: economic-gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and GDP per capita squared to control for non-linear relationship between economic output and GHG emissions; structural-economic structure reflected in the share of manufacturing in total gross value added (GVA); energy-mix-share of nuclear power and renewable sources in total gross electricity production; environmental policy-the amount of environmental taxes (as a percentage of GDP) and the number of European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) allowances auctioned or sold (as a percentage of GDP per capita). The main findings of this study confirm the long-run relationship between GHG emissions, GDP level, and energy-mix variables. It endorses that higher share of nuclear power together with renewables in gross electricity production has significant impact on GHG emissions in the long run. In turn, it also validates the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve for selected countries.

RESUMEN

In response to the ICRP's amending the occupational exposure limit for the eye lens, the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) established the Hp(3) calibration system for eye dose monitoring in Taiwan to accurately assess the dose received in the eye lens. INER employed the narrow-spectrum series radiation according to the ISO 4037 as the X-ray radiation qualities, and the measured half-value layer consistent with a 5% difference. The air kerma rate standard was determined by the self-made free air chamber, and through dose conversion coefficient referring to ISO 4037 to obtain the Hp(3) on an ISO cylinder phantom. Furthermore, the calibration system was provided as the characteristics tests for DOSIRIS headset dosemeters. Finally, the Hp(3) calibration system has been established in Taiwan, and it can be used to provide calibration services for eye lens dosemeters and be applied to the proficiency testing that will be held in 2023.

RESUMEN

This paper investigates the role of nuclear energy in promoting ecological sustainability in India, focusing on three ecological indicators: ecological footprint (EF), CO2 emissions (CO2), and load capacity factor (LF). In addition to nuclear energy, the study considers the influence of gas consumption and other drivers of ecological sustainability using data spanning from 1970 to 2018. The analysis also takes into account the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis on the model, employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and frequency domain causality approaches to assess the relationships. Unlike previous studies, this research evaluates both the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and load capacity curve (LCC) hypotheses. The ARDL results support the validity of both the EKC and LCC hypotheses in the Indian context. Furthermore, the findings reveal that nuclear energy and human capital contribute positively to ecological quality, while gas consumption and economic growth have a negative impact on ecological sustainability. The study also highlights the increasing effect of the 2008 global financial crisis on ecological sustainability. Additionally, the causality analysis demonstrates that nuclear energy, human capital, gas consumption, and economic growth can serve as predictors of long-term ecological sustainability in India. Based on these findings, the research presents policy recommendations that can guide efforts towards achieving SDGs 7 and 13.

RESUMEN

This study aimed to compare absolute calibration outputs based on the protocols of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Technical Report Series (TRS)-398, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group (TG)-51, and modified calibration approach. The electron beam output calibration followed the IAEA TRS-398 and AAPM TG-51 protocols, both of which required cylindrical chambers and parallel plates. However, the use of cylindrical chambers is not recommended at low energies because of the large fluence-correction factor. TG-51 recommended cross-calibration of the parallel-plate chamber against the cylindrical chamber in a high-energy electron beam. In 2020, an electron beam dosimetry modification was introduced that used a cylindrical ionisation chamber at all energies and updated the data for beam quality conversion factors. This modification provided a lower deviation than that reported in AAPM TG-51. Thus, the modified calibration based on TRS-398 was applied in the present study, which yielded results below the permissible tolerance. The beam calibration at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15 MeV energies was carried out for two Elekta linear accelerators.. Electron beam dosimetry followed the AAPM TG-51 and TRS-398 protocols, and modified calibration were performed to measure the dose at the maximum depth expressed in dose/monitor units (cGy/MU). Charge-reading measurements were measured using ionisation chambers PTW 30013, IBA CC13, and Exradin A11. The average absorbed dose ratios were 1.004 and 1.009 using the modified calibration and TRS-398 and modified calibration and TG-51, respectively. Therefore, based on IAEA TRS-398, the results were below the tolerance limit (±2%).

RESUMEN

Within the European Union (EU), the majority of countries are considered developed, and the level of economic activity is rising. As a result, carbon dioxide emissions have increased. If the European Union wants to maintain long-term, sustainable growth, it must act quickly to find solutions to pollution. Population, wealth, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and research and development (R&D) are all factored into the STIRPAT model to determine their respective environmental impacts. Slope heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence are explored in panel data for 30 European nations from 1990 to 2021 using a newly developed Cross Section Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) method. The study found that population growth and the continued use of fossil fuels are major causes of environmental degradation. Alternately, employing renewable and raising incomes both have the potential to significantly cut pollution over the long run. Likewise, investments in R&D assist lessen the damage done to the environment. The nuclear energy coefficients, however, are insignificant. However, fossil fuels have negative effects on the ecosystem. If the EU wishes to stop the degradation of the environment, the analysis demonstrates that renewable energy is the best way to do it. The time has come for the EU to make a gradual transition away from fossil fuels and toward more environmentally friendly alternatives. Economic growth should be matched by decreased CO2 emissions, and increasing investment in R&D can serve as a catalyst for environmental sustainability. The results were reviewed using three different estimators: the augmented mean group (AMG), the mean group (MG), and the common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG). Important policy recommendations for a sustainable European environment are also suggested by the research.

RESUMEN

The recycling of uranium in wastewater is not only beneficial to the protection of ecological safety but also has great significance for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. However, there is no satisfactory method to recover and reuse uranium efficiently up to now. Here, we have developed an efficient and economical strategy that can achieve uranium recovery and direct reuse in wastewater. The feasibility analysis verified that the strategy still had good separation and recovery ability in acidic, alkaline, and high-salinity environments. The purity of uranium recovered from the separated liquid phase after electrochemical purification was up to about 99.95%. Ultrasonication could greatly increase the efficiency of this strategy, and 99.00% of high-purity uranium could be recovered within 2 h. We further improved the overall recovery rate by recovering the residual solid-phase uranium, and the overall recovery of uranium was increased to 99.40%. Moreover, the concentration of impurity ions in the recovered solution met the World Health Organization guidelines. In summary, the development of this strategy is of great importance for the sustainable use of uranium resources and environmental protection.

RESUMEN

The public tends to exaggerate the dangers of nuclear energy, mistakenly associating it with various environmental problems such as ozone depletion and the production of CO2. First, we investigate the acquisition of misconceptions about nuclear energy. In Experiments 1 (N = 198, United Kingdom) and 2 (N = 204, France), participants were more likely to develop new negative misconceptions about nuclear energy, compared to renewables or even some fossil fuels. Participants were also more likely to attribute the emission of hazardous substances produced by renewables to nuclear energy than to the energy sources actually emitting it. This suggests that specific misconceptions about nuclear energy are likely the by-products of negative perceptions of nuclear energy. Second, we ask whether correcting specific misconceptions leads to less negative attitudes about nuclear energy. In Experiments 3 (N = 296, United Kingdom.) and 4 (N = 305, France), participants were exposed to pronuclear energy arguments, one of which informed them of its low CO2 emissions. This argument led to a decrease in the perception that nuclear energy contributes to climate change. Thus, even if specific misconceptions about nuclear energy derive from overall negative perceptions, addressing these misconceptions can still help align public opinion with expert opinion.

RESUMEN

When the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) began operations in 1958, one of its first routine tasks was to create and circulate a brief non-technical periodical. This article analyses the creation of the IAEA Bulletin and its circulation during its first years. It finds that diplomatic imperatives both in IAEA leadership circles and in the networks outside them shaped the form and appearance of the bulletin. In the hands of the IAEA's Division of Public Information, the bulletin became an instrument of science diplomacy, its imagery conveying the motivations for member states to strengthen ties with the IAEA, while simultaneously persuading them to accept the hierarchies and geopolitical logics implicit in those relations, as well as to endorse the central position of the IAEA as a clearing house and authority of globally circulating nuclear objects and information.

RESUMEN

Scientific and engineering capabilities in hydrocarbon supply chains developed over decades in international oil and gas companies (IOCs) uniquely position these companies to drive rapid scale-up and transition to a net-zero emission economy. Flexible large-scale production of energy carriers such as hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and other synthetic fuels produced with low- or zero-emission renewable power, nuclear energy, or hydrogen derived from natural gas with carbon capture and storage will enable long-distance transport and permanent storage options for clean energy. Use of energy carriers can overcome the inherent constraints of a fully electrified energy system by providing the energy and power densities, as well as transport and storage capacity, required to achieve energy supply and security in a net-zero emission economy, and over time allow optimization to the lowest cost for a consumer anywhere on the globe.

RESUMEN

Despite the increasing interest in science exhibitions, there has been hardly any work on mobile science exhibitions and their role within science diplomacy - a gap this thematic issue is meant to fill. Atomic mobile exhibitions are seen here not only as cultural sites but as multifaceted strategic processes of transnational nuclear history. We move beyond the bipolar Cold War history that portrays propagandist science exhibitions as instances of a one-way communication employed to promote the virtues of the two major and conflicting political powers. Instead, Science Diplomacy on Display follows mobile atomic exhibitions as they move across national borders and around the world, functioning as spaces for diplomatic encounters. Exhibitions play a vital role not only in the production of knowledge and the formation of political worldviews but also as assets in diplomatic negotiations and as promoters of a new worldview in which nuclear stands at the centre. They are powerful iconic diplomatic devices, that is systems of representations that capture the diplomatic processes in action and make the nitty-gritty details of international relations visible. This issue seeks to trace the multiple and often contradictory meanings that mobile exhibitions took on for various actors.

RESUMEN

In recent years, the use of nuclear energy as propulsion for merchant ships has been proposed as a means of promoting the transition toward maritime decarbonization and environmentally sustainable shipping. However, there are concerns that nuclear-powered merchant ships could pose risks to the marine environment in the event of accidents, such as collisions, machinery failure or damage, fire, or explosions. The current international regulatory framework for nuclear-powered merchant ships is insufficient to address these risks. This research aims to address this gap by conducting a policy analysis of the existing regulations and a critical examination of their effectiveness in addressing the environmental risks of nuclear-powered merchant ships. Through this analysis, the study identifies the shortcomings and insufficiencies in the current framework and explores potential solutions to improve it, with the goal of enhancing the international community's ability to mitigate the potential impacts of radioactive marine pollution from nuclear-propelled ships in an era of maritime decarbonization.
