Waste Press RoomA new resource for journalists and the general public covering important recent news about the NEA's work is now available at www.oecd-nea.org/general/press/. The NEA Press Room presents key nuclear statistics for the OECD area. Press kits on a wide range of nuclear-related topics provide a concise summary of the major issues and links to relevant NEA publications and selected external resources. A comprehensive set of links to other websites of interest is organised by country. It is also possible to register directly for e-mail alerts of new press releases and Press Room updates. Nuclear safetyAn international workshop to exchange and disseminate information on the safety aspects of nuclear power plant modifications will be held on 6-9 October 2003 in Paris. It is expected that the workshop's conclusions will help steer developments at both the international and national levels in this area during the coming years. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/workshops/modifications/index.html. Related links Documents
from the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Nuclear scienceThe Working Party on Scientific Issues in Partitioning and Transmutation (WPPT) met on 14 March 2003 at NEA headquarters. Its subgroup on accelerator reliability and utilisation established two working groups: the first will develop an accelerator reliability database and report on the current state of the technology; the second will produce a lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) handbook. The subgroup on physics and safety of transmutation systems discussed results of both the MUSE-4 and the ADS beam interruption benchmarks. Forthcoming meetings include:
