Nuclear Power Reactors in the World (RDS-2)
|
Nuclear Power Reactors in the World, Reference Data Series No. 2, 2011 edition.
This is the thirty-first one of Reference Data Series No.2, which presents the most recent reactor data available to the IAEA. It contains summarized information as of the end of 2010 on: power reactors operating, under construction, and shut down; and performance data on reactors operating in the IAEA Member States, as reported to the IAEA. The information is collected through designated national correspondents in the Member States and the data area used to maintain the IAEA's Power Reactor Information System (PRIS).

Operating Experience with NPP (OPEX)
|
Operating Experience with Nuclear Power Stations in Member States in 2010, CD-ROM 2011 edition.
This CD contains the 42nd edition of the IAEA's series of annual reports on operating experience with nuclear power plants in Member States. It is a direct output from the IAEA's Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) and contains information on electricity production and overall performance of individual plants during 2010. In addition to annual information, the report contains a historical summary of performance during the lifetime of individual plants and figures illustrating worldwide performance of the nuclear industry. The CD contains also an overview of design characteristics of all operating nuclear power plants worldwide.

Country Nuclear Power Profiles (CNPP)
|
Country Nuclear Power Profiles, CD-ROM 2011 edition.
The Country Nuclear Power Profiles compile background information on the status and development of nuclear power programmes in Member States. The CD consists of organizational and industrial aspects of nuclear power programmes and provides information about the relevant legislative, regulatory and international framework in each country. Its descriptive and statistical overview of the overall economic, energy and electricity situation in each country, and its nuclear power framework is intended to serve as an integrated source of key background information about nuclear power programmes in the world. The 2011 edition, issued on CD-ROM, contains the information for 50 countries.

TRS 428: PRIS reference document
|
The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) and its Extension to Non-electrical Applications, Decommissioning and Delayed Projects Information, IAEA Technical Report Series No. 428, 2005.
The IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) contains detailed information on nuclear power plants worldwide since they started commercial operation. It covers a broad range of information, including reactor design characteristics, plant general specifications, operating experience data and non-electrical applications of nuclear power plants such as steam production and desalination. This report describes all the elements of PRIS and explains the rules, coding, terminology and definitions used in the system.

IAEA TECDOC 1393: International Outage Coding System
|
The experience obtained in each individual plant constitutes the most relevant source of information for improving its performance. However, experience of the level of the utility country- and worldwide is also extremely valuable, as there are limitations to what can be learned from in-house experience. Learning from the experience of others is difficult if the information is not harmonized. Therefore, such systems should be standardized and applicable to all types of reactors, satisfying the needs of the broad set of nuclear power plant operators worldwide and allowing experience to be shared internationally. To cope with the considerable amount of information gathered from nuclear power plants worldwide, it is necessary to codify the information facilitating the identification of causes of outages, systems or component failures. Therefore, the IAEA established a sponsored Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on the International Outage Coding System to develop a general, internationally applicable system of coding nuclear power plant outages, providing worldwide nuclear utilities with a standardized tool for reporting outage information. This publication summarizes the results of this CRP and provides information for transformation of the historical outage data into the new coding system, taking into consideration the existing systems for coding nuclear power plant events (WANO, IAEA-IRS and IAEA PRIS) but avoiding duplication of efforts.

IAEA TECDOC 1544 : Nuclear Power Plant Design Characteristics
|
|
The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) is a comprehensive data source on nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the world. It includes specification and performance history data of operating reactors as well as of reactors under construction or being decommissioned. The NPP design characteristics represent a fundamental part of the PRIS database. They provide important information on the main systems and components and can provide a comprehensive picture of unit design, technology and system configuration. The characteristics can also be used as basic criteria to group reactors with similar or identical design features for operational performance analysis. The aim of this publication is to provide guidelines for PRIS data providers and to detail information about PRIS design characteristics for those using PRIS data for performance analysis, benchmarking or just as a reliable source of technical information related to NPPs.
