Agricultural Experimentation: Design and Analysis

For many years, the IAEA has published materials aimed at supporting the 
assessment of radiation impacts on human beings and the environment. Two 
major publications, Sediment Kd
s and Concentration Factors for Radionuclides in 
the Marine Environment (Technical Reports Series No. 247), published in 1985, 
and the Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of Radionuclide 
Transfer in Temperate Environments (Technical Reports Series No. 364), 
published in 1994, together provided a full set of available transfer parameter 
values for the marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. For many years, 
these two publications have served as key references for radioecologists, 
modellers and authorities, providing data for use in environmental impact 
assessments.
Since the publication of these two collections of data, a number of 
publications on transfer parameter values have been produced and merit 
consideration. Therefore, in 2000 the IAEA initiated a revision of Technical 
Reports Series No. 247 which resulted in the publication, in 2004, of Sediment 
Distribution Coefficients and Concentration Factors for Biota in the Marine 
Environment (Technical Reports Series No. 422), covering newly obtained data 
as well as changes in the regulatory framework.
In 2003, within the framework of the Environmental Modelling for 
Radiation Safety (EMRAS) programme, the IAEA undertook a revision of 
Technical Reports Series No. 364. The current publication was prepared by the 
members of Working Group 1 of the EMRAS programme, chaired by P. Calmon 
(IRSN, France). This publication focuses on transfer parameter values; the 
models in which they are used generally are not described here. It is therefore 
supported by IAEA-TECDOC-1616, which accompanies this report and contains 
the full collection of the reviewed data and provides radioecological concepts and 
models facilitating the use of these values in specific situations. This publication 
is intended to supplement existing IAEA reports on environmental assessment 
methodologies.
The IAEA wishes to express its gratitude to all the experts who contributed 
to this report, and to the International Union of Radioecologists for its support.
The IAEA officer responsible for this publication was S. Fesenko of the 
Agency’s Laboratories (Seibersdorf and Headquarters).

Status of pyroprocessing technology development in KOREA

Pyroprocessing technology has been actively developed at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to meet the necessity of addressing spent fuel management issue. This technology has advantages over aqueous process such as less proliferation risk, treatment of spent fuel with relatively high heat and radioactivity, and compact equipments. This paper describes the pyroprocessing technology development at KAERI from head-end process to waste treatment. The unit process with various scales has been tested to produce the design data associated with scale-up. Pyroprocess integrated inactive demonstration facility (PRIDE) was constructed at KAERI and it began test operation in 2012. The purpose of PRIDE is to test the process regarding unit process performance, remote operation of equipments, integration of unit processes, scale-up of process, process monitoring, argon environment system operation, and safeguards-related activities. The test of PRIDE will be promising for further pyroprocessing technology development.
