Safe Operation of Critical Assemblies and Research Reactors [antikvár]

FOREWORD The present Manual has been prepared by several of the Agency's reactor specialists in close consultation with an international panel of experts on safe operation of critical assemblies and research reactors. Since the emphasis throughout is on safety, the Manual is published as an issue of the "Safety Series". The contents of the Manual are in no sense intended to be mandatory; they should be regarded as a guide, based on the best available experience in a number of countries, to the operation of critical assemblies and research reactors dn such a way as not to endanger either the operators or the public. The Manual will no doubt find its widest appeal in the less developed countries where the types of assembly in question are being operated for the first time; but workers in technologically more advanced parts of the world will also find it valuable as a synthesis of the best practices in a number of countries. / Director General May 1961
