The annual WPRS Benchmarks Workshops took place on 22-26 May 2023 in Bologna, Italy.
The NEA organised the first International School on Simulation of Nuclear Reactor Systems (SINUS) on the topic of Reactor single- and multi-physics simulations based on Light Water Reactor (LWR) Unce...
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.
The WPRS met from 20-24 February 2023.
This benchmark is organised to examine the models for fission gas release during anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs).
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...
