Source Convergence in Criticality Safety Analyses - Phase II: Guidance for Analysts
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) held an international workshop on Operational and Regulatory As...
Criticality is the state of a nuclear reactor when there is a self-sustaining chain reaction of fissionable material. Criticality experiments are controlled tests using fissile materials, like pluton...
Criticality is the state of a nuclear reactor when there is a self-sustaining chain reaction of fissionable material. Used or spent fuel criticality is associated with the scientific issues around as...
A criticality excursion (also referred to as a criticality accident) is the accidental production of a self-sustaining or divergent chain reaction of fissionable material.
Criticality is the state of a nuclear reactor when there is a self-sustaining chain reaction of fissionable material. Criticality safety analysis relates to evaluation approaches in data and computat...
The NEA Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) held its annual meetings on 6-10 July 2020 via video conference with 63 experts from 14 countries.
The Ninth International Conference on Nuclear Criticality Safety (ICNC2011) was held on from 19-22 September 2011 in Edinburgh, Scotland. ICNC 2011 allowed specialists from around the globe to come t...
The ICSBEP Technical Review Group of over 65 international technical experts met remotely for the first time on 19-23 October 2020.
The topical session dealt with experiences from assessments of criticality safety and the application of safeguards in the different member countries of the IGSC.
This report describes the regulatory perspectives on safety aspects related to the calculation and justification of neutronic characteristics and criticality safety assessment of advanced sodium fast...
Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) , the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) focuses on technical and scientific issues related to criticality safety. Specific...
