This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) addresses the management of disused radioactive lightning conductors and their associated radioactive sources. It focuses on the challenges of locating, removing, transporting, and safely disposing of these conductors, which were historically used with the belief that they improved the likelihood of lightning strikes. The book outlines strategies for Member States to assess their situations and develop policies for the safe removal and management of these conductors. It highlights the IAEA's role in providing technical guidance and support to countries implementing national removal programs. The publication includes historical context, descriptions of the conductors, issues encountered, and lessons learned from various country experiences, aiming to ensure safe handling and storage of radioactive materials.

La conduite des jeunes générations soulève des questions majeures de santé publique. En France, les 18-24 ans composent 8 % de la population. Mais ils comptent 16 % des morts sur les routes, particulièrement les hommes. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage majeur consacré à la conduite routière des jeunes. La conduite des jeunes générations soulève des questions majeures de santé publique. Elle n'est pas seulement dangereuse en puissance pour les jeunes conducteurs eux-mêmes, elle l'est aussi pour les autres. Cet ouvrage collectif propose une réflexion globale autour de cette question : la manière dont ils apprennent à conduire et se représentent la circulation routière, leur relation aux autres, aux piétons, aux cyclistes, à leur voiture, au Code de la route, à la vitesse notamment, aux outils technologiques ... Il s'agit du premier ouvrage majeur consacré à la conduite routière des jeunes générations qui utilisent la voiture comme un objet transitionnel (à la fois d'apaisement et de passage).
