77, [3] pages. Footnotes. Figure. Tables. Formulae. Safety Series No. 36. STI/PUB/283. Cover has some wear, soiling, and an ink mark. Includes Foreword, as well as chapters on; Water Supplies and Wastes; Movement in the Environment; Assessment of Risk to Man; Practical Considerations in Assessing Discharge Proposals; Radioactive Waste Management Policy, and Conclusions; as well as References. Also contains Annex I--Exposure pathways associated with various uses of a water body containing radioactive wastes; Annex II---Examples of radioactive waste discharges, Annex III Dose calculation, and List of Participants. An important task of the International Atomic Energy Agency is to encourage safe and practical procedures for the management of radioactive wastes. In carrying out this task the Agency published in 1963 "Disposal of Radioactive Wastes into Fresh Waters", No. 10 in the Safety Series. This publication resulted from three meetings of an ad hoc panel of experts. In the intervening period rapid increases in the growth of population and of industry have led to a corresponding increase in water usage which has focused increasing attention on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of water supplies and on the problem of their pollution. This has led to a rapid growth in the knowledge of the sources, the courses and the effects of pollutants in fresh water systems, and of means of preventing pollution. This growth has been particularly noticeable in the nuclear energy industry where there, has accumulated since 1963 a large body of knowledge and experience in the development and application of the principles enunciated in Safety Series No. 10. To provide authoritative up-to-date guidance to those concerned with the protection of fresh waters from pollution by radioactive materials, the Agency in conjunction with WHO convened in January 1969 an ad hoc panel, consisting of experts from seven countries assisted by representatives of four international organizations, to advise on how best to incorporate this new knowledge and experience in a document which would bring Safety Series No. 10 up to date. The present publication is the result. [Note: This document is valuable as a snapshot in time presenting the state of knowledge, the state-of-the-art, the state of practice, and training content at the time of publication. This document is no longer the most current from the IAEA on this subject. First American Edition [stated], First printing [stated].…
