IAEA
Preparedness and Response for a
Nuclear or Radiological Emergency,
IAEA, Austria, November 2015, STI/
PUB/1708.
This publication establishes the
requirements for an adequate level
of preparedness and response for a
nuclear or radiological emergency. The
application of these requirements is also
intended to mitigate the consequences
of a nuclear or radiological emergency
if such an emergency arises despite all
efforts made to prevent it. The fulfilment
of these requirements will contribute
to the harmonization worldwide of
arrangements for preparedness and
response for a nuclear or radiological
emergency. The requirements are
also intended for use by response
organizations, operating organizations
and the regulatory body in respect of
preparedness and response for a nuclear
or radiological emergency, as well as
by authorities with responsibilities for
emergency preparedness and response at
the local and regional level .

Guidance on Robot Operator
Certification
. By Tim Brooke, ASTM
International.
ASTM International, along with a
number of other standards organizations,
has developed a series of voluntary
standards to evaluate the performance
of robots and, in turn, their operators.
These standards are the result of the
collaboration of experts fromgovernment,
industry and academia. And now there is
an opportunity to formalize the evaluation
of robot operators by assessing their
abilities through a personnel certification
program. The intent of the programwould
be to provide an independent, third-party
verification that the operator possesses
certain knowledge, skills, and abilities
related to robot technologies.
