Based on the success of the OECD/NRC BFBT Benchmark, Japan released data based on the NUPEC PWR Sub-channel and Bundle Tests (PSBT) Benchmark and asked Pennsylvania State University (PSU) in the Unit...
This report provides the specification for the uncertainty exercises of the international OECD/NEA, NRC and NUPEC BFBT benchmark problem including the elemental task. The specification was prepared j...
Proceedings of the Fourteenth Workshop, 30 October-2 November 2018, Gyeongju, Korea.
Twelfth Workshop Proceedings, Batavia, Illinois, United States, 28-30 April 2014
Spent nuclear fuel contains minor actinides (MAs) such as neptunium, americium and curium, which require careful management. This becomes even more important when mixed oxide (MOX) fuel is being used...
Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance, an...
The event gathered 129 participants from 75 international institutions.
WPRS gathered 172 experts from 22 countries at the annual Benchmark Workshop.
The objective of the OECD LWR UAM activity is to establish an internationally accepted benchmark framework to compare, assess and further develop different uncertainty analysis methods associated wit...
The expert group provided advice to the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) on the scientific development needs (data and methods, validation experiments, scenario studies) o...
The expert group critically reviewed integral experiments for validating minor actinide (MA) nuclear data, recommended additional integral experiments needed for validating MA nuclear data and invest...
A sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is a fast neutron reactor that uses molten sodium metal as a coolant. Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) are the most promising type of reactors to achieve Generati...
The expert group works in co-ordination with Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) [including the IRPhE Project], Working Party on Scientific Issues of the Fuel Cycle (WPFC) an...
