IAEA Safety Glossary

"The IAEA Safety Glossary" defines and explains technical terms used in IAEA Safety Standards and other safety related IAEA publications, and provides information on their usage. It has been in use since April 2000. "The IAEA Safety Glossary, 2007 Edition", is a revised and updated version. The primary purpose of the "Safety Glossary" is to harmonize terminology and usage in the IAEA Safety Standards. The "Safety Glossary" is a source of information for users of IAEA Safety Standards and other safety related IAEA publications. The "Safety Glossary" also provides guidance primarily for the drafters and reviewers of Safety Standards and other publications, including IAEA technical officers and consultants and members of technical committees, advisory groups, working groups and bodies for the endorsement of Safety Standards.
