The Technical Review Groups for both projects met at the NEA headquarters on 3-7 April 2023.
Since the early 2000s there is an increasing demand from nuclear research, industry, safety and regulation for best-estimate predictions to be provided with their confidence bounds. Consequently, an ...
EGPRS Task Force members met on 3 April 2023.
Under the guidance of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) the expert group performs specific tasks associated with fuel performance aspects of pr...
The 2021 edition contains data from 169 experimental series that were performed at 57 nuclear facilities.

The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) organised an international workshop on the implementation of radioactive w...
The modelling and simulation of nuclear systems allow scientists and engineers to probe aspects of the operation of these systems beyond what has been precisely measured. This has numerous applicatio...
The event gathered 129 participants from 75 international institutions.
An approach similar to the OECD/NRC Boiling Water Reactor Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Tests (BFBT) Benchmark was adopted by dividing the benchmark activity into phases.
A number of tests with detail well documented neutronics and thermal-hydraulics measurements data have been performed at the Rostov Unit 2 (Rostov-2) nuclear power plant (NPP). The reactor type is a ...
WPRS gathered 172 experts from 22 countries at the annual Benchmark Workshop.
PHYSOR attracts international experts from all segments of the nuclear industry and scientific community, including vendors, utilities, laboratories, and universities. The theme for this year’s confe...
Collected sources of primary documentation for reactor physics benchmarks.
The aim of the benchmark is to improve understanding and modelling of pellet-cladding mechanical interaction (PCMI) amongst NEA member organisations. This is achieved by comparing PCMI predictions of...
Proceedings of the Fourteenth Workshop, 30 October-2 November 2018, Gyeongju, Korea.
In the past decade, a large amount of effort has been made towards the direct simulation of the boiling transition (BT) for boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel bundles. This international benchmark, bas...
The Expert Group on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF) dealt with the various aspects of the modelling and design of accelerator shield systems and radiatio...
