Managing nuclear projects requires an understanding of the
rigorous standards, stringent regulations, and specific
technologies associated with the field. The emergence of new
reactor designs, international initiatives, and large scale
decommissioning efforts within the nuclear industry points to the
need for an authoritative source of information on the management
of such projects. In addition to the nuclear power industry, the
nuclear field has extensive projects and activities in the areas
of research reactors, medical isotope production,
decommissioning, and remediation of contaminated sites. This book
focuses on the management aspects of nuclear projects in a wide
range of areas with emphasis on process, requirements, and
lessons learned.

Part one provides a general overview of the nuclear industry
including basic principles for managing nuclear projects, nuclear
safety culture, management of worker risk, training, and
management of complex projects, while the second section hones in
on managing reactor projects with discussion on a variety of
topics including management of research reactor projects, medical
radioisotope production, power reactor modifications, power
uprates, outage management, and management of nuclear-related
R&D. Chapters in part three highlight the areas of
radioactive waste and spent fuel management, reactor
decommissioning, and remediation of radioactively contaminated
sites. Finally, the concluding section explores regulation,
guidance and emergency management in the nuclear industry.
Chapters discuss quality assurance and auditing programs,
licensing procedures for nuclear installations, emergency
preparedness, management of nuclear crises, and international
nuclear cooperation.
