IAEA Multi-unit Probabilistic Safety Assessment
Book SynopsisThe accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant underlined the need to assess the nuclear safety of multi-unit sites considering the accident sequences involving more than one reactor units on site. The objective of this Safety Report is to provide a methodology for the development of a Multi-unit Probabilistic Safety Assessment (MUPSA). It provides practical examples and an overview of the actual state of practice in this area. The publication provides a detailed description of Level 1 MUPSA methodology, the principles of development of Level 2 MUPSA models and the path forward for multi-unit consequence analysis (Level 3 MUPSA). In addition, it summarizes the experience available in Member States in the area of MUPSA. The scope of this Safety Report includes consideration of various hazards and plant operational states normally considered in PSA development in the multi-unit context.

IAEA Building Capacity for Nuclear Security (Chinese
Book SynopsisEach State has the primary responsibility to build the capacity of organizations and people in order to develop, implement and sustain a nuclear security regime. To discharge its responsibilities, the State has to strengthen its capacity at national, organizational and individual levels. Specifically, the State has to be able to enhance the competences and capabilities of relevant stakeholders in fulfilling their responsibilities within the nuclear security regime. Such endeavour involves various elements in capacity building, ranging from education and training to the development of a knowledge network. This publication is intended to serve as a reference for Member States to develop a national capacity building strategy for nuclear security. It addresses all organizations involved in nuclear security and reflects the multidisciplinary and cross-institutional nature of this task, as well as the long term efforts that are required.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regulating labour and safety standards in the
Book SynopsisThe general labour and employment laws of many countries do not necessarily take into account the special circumstances of those who work in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, whereas legislation governing these sectors tends not to integrate appropriate labour standards. This becomes even more of a concern where there is a general weakness in inter-sectoral and inter-institutional coordination mechanisms. This Legislative Study seeks to respond to these challenges by providing guidance on the integration of internationally accepted labour standards into national legislation in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors. It identifies the standards that apply to these sectors and shows how they have been or could be integrated into regulatory frameworks governing organic production and other agricultural commodities, contract farming, pesticide management, forestry, fisheries and other related sectors. The overall aim of the study is to improve relevant regulatory frameworks with regard to the protection of the rights of people who derive their livelihoods in these sectors.

PHI Learning Principles of Industrial Safety Management:
Book SynopsisSafety or the effects of its absence are often attributed to fate and loosely termed as “acts of God”. In reality, incidents occur when one or more components of a system or their mutual linkages fail to perform satisfactorily. It is not a simple task to analyse a system failure scenario wherein multiple components interact and it certainly is not a layman’s job. Therefore, it is imperative to give top-most priority to the safety management in industries.Industrial safety management calls for good understanding of all components, including people, equipment, materials, processes and practices and applicable statutes and standards so that the hazards, risks and accidents can be avoided. The book, systematically organised in fifteen chapters, addresses all these components and explain their principles with the aim to help readers develop good understanding of each component. It enables them to identify hazards, assess risks, develop safe work procedures and practices, and adopt appropriate risk control measures to control likelihood as well as severity of an inadvertent failure event.With a special focus on Indian scenario and spoken-style approach, the book comprises ample illustrations—figures and tables—to enrich fruitful learning, chapter-end summary for quick recap of the concepts as well as chapter-end questions to assess students’ understanding of the concepts.Primarily intended for the undergraduate students of fire and industrial safety and the postgraduate students of industrial safety engineering and management, the book will also be of immense use to the students opting diploma or certificate course in fire technology and industrial safety management. Overall, the book aims to meet the curriculum needs and enhance analytical skills of the students.Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgements 1. Evolution of the Safety Concept 2.
