The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has just published a new report entitled Five Years after the Fukushima Daiichi Accident: Nuclear Safety Improvements and Lessons Learnt.
To meet the overall safety objectives and to achieve a balanced plant design, natural hazards have to be considered in the design of nuclear installations. Deriving the strength of such events from a...
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events for diesel generators. The events were derived from the International CCF Data Exchange (ICDE) database and the s...
This workshop, held in Pavia, Italy on 4-6 February 2015, was the fourth in a series of NEA meetings (Tokyo, Japan, August 1999, Jeju, Korea, November 2006, Lyon, France, April 2008), dedicated to pr...
After the Fukushima nuclear accident, many activities were initiated in the countries with nuclear energy to assess the robustness of nuclear power plants with respect to earthquakes, tsunamis and fl...
The Workshop on Experimental Validation and Application of CFD and CMFD Codes to Nuclear Reactor Safety Issues, CFD4NRS-7 was the seventh in a series of workshops focusing on Computational Fluid Dyna...
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) held an international workshop on Developments in Fuel Cycle Facilit...
In the light of the TEPCO Fukushima accident, this report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events due to external factors, meaning that not only storms and hurricane...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is to an increasing extent being adopted in nuclear reactor safety analyses as a tool that enables specific safety relevant phenomena occurring in the reactor coola...
The Working Group supports improved uses of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) in risk-informed regulation and safety management through the analysis of results and the development of perspectives...
The main mission of the Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) is to advance the current understanding of the relevant aspects related with ensuring the integrity...
This working group's objective was to advance the current understanding and to address safety issues related to fuel safety margins, in particular to systematically assess the technical basis for cur...
The main mission of the Working Group on Fuel Safety (WGFS) is to advance the current understanding and address cross-cutting issues related to fuel behaviour in accident conditions, including work o...
The objective of the Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) is to advance the understanding of relevant aspects of nuclear fuel cycle safety, including: uranium mining and milling; uranium refini...
The main mission of the Working Group on External Events (WGEV) is to improve the understanding and treatment of external hazards that would support the continued safety performance of nuclear instal...
The main mission of the Working Group on the Safety of Electrical Systems (WGELEC) is to advance the current understanding and address safety issues related to electrical systems of nuclear installat...
The Working Group on the Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA) focuses on the NEA activities related to potential design-basis and beyond design-basis accidents in nuclear reactors and related...
In the framework of the WGAMA/WGFS activity "Status Report on Good Practices for Analyses of Design Extension Condition without Significant Fuel Degradation (DEC-A) for Operating Nuclear Power Plants...
