Reminder: Update from the Thermochemical Database Project (TDB):

As part of Phase II of the NEA Thermochemical Database Project (TDB), a new publication entitled Update on the Chemical Thermodynamics of Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium and Technetium and authored by Robert Guillaumont, Thomas Fanghänel, Jean Fuger, Ingmar Grenthe, Volker Neck, Donald A. Palmer and Malcom H. Rand, was published by Elsevier in 2003. As a consequence of this new TDB Review, some of the values selected in earlier publications (1992 for Uranium and 1995 for Americium) have been superseded while others retain their validity. The 2003 Update is self-contained with respect to any new data selections but the discussions leading to the retained selections can in most cases only be found in the 1992 and 1995 publications. Since the latter are no longer available from its original publisher, the NEA is making the following reprints available to the scientific community:

* Reprint of the 1992 "Chemical Thermodynamics of Uranium" by Ingmar Grenthe, Jean Fuger, Rudy J.M. Konings, Robert J. Lemire, Anthony B. Muller, Chinh Nguyen-Trung and Hans Wanner.

* Reprint of the 1995 edition of "Chemical Thermodynamics of Americium" by Robert J. Silva, Giovanni Bidoglio, Malcom H. Rand, Piotr B. Robouch, Hans Wanner and Ignasi Puigdomenech, which also contains an Appendix on the "Chemical Thermodynamics of Uranium" by Ingmar Grenthe, M.C. Amaia Sandino, Ignasi Puidomenech and Malcom H. Rand.

These two reprints contain therefore information that is superseded in part by the 2003 Update. In particular, the Tables of Selected values included in these earlier TDB Reviews are outdated and should be replaced by those contained in the 2003 Update.

Integral Experiments Data for Model and Code Validation:

The home page for Compilations and Evaluations has been updated concerning the:
  • A technical Meeting relative to the International Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments Project ( IRPhE ) is scheduled for 27-28 October 2004 in Paris.
  • The International Fuel Performance Experiments Database (IFPE) was recently updated with new experiments (27 May 2004).
  • The Shielding Benchmark Experiments Database (SINBAD) includes now 35 Reactor Shielding, 24 Fusion Neutronics Shielding and 8 Accelerator Shielding Experiments. (last update: 24 June 2004).
  • A new Edition of the CCVM (CSNI Code Validation Matrix of Thermo-Hydraulic Codes for LWR LOCA and Transients) is now available (January 2004).
  • Experimental data and reports from recent projects operated under the auspices of the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) have been added to the Data Bank. (These comprise the CABRI REPNa series , the SETH Project and the PSB-VVER Project ). These data are subject to restrictions for their distribution at this stage. The reports and data from the RASPLAV project are now available to organisations from OECD member countries and from the Russian Federation
