Summary:"This publication has been developed to help States ensure that appropriate sites for a nuclear power plant are identified, assessed and licensed, in a well-planned and efficient manner, taking into account all relevant factors and lessons learned from recent events. It is applicable to countries with existing nuclear facilities as well as those introducing nuclear power in their energy mix for the first time. This Nuclear Energy Series publication gives guidance on the complex organizational, engineering, socio-economic, and environmental issues of siting, complements the IAEA safety guides related to site selection and integrates existing IAEA documentation on the subject into a more compact and user friendly guidebook."--Publisher description.
