Many of the failures that occur in nuclear fuel rods in light water reactors around the world are caused by the phenomenon of mechanical interaction between pellets and cladding (PCMI). The process i...
As a low-carbon electricity source, nuclear energy has a role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts.
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and CIEMAT are co-organising the Seventh International Workshop on Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS-7). The workshop will be held in Mad...
Reaching ambitious net zero carbon emission targets requires a sizeable share of nuclear energy in the electricity mix. The value of nuclear energy as a scalable provider of dispatchable low carbon e...
Common-cause failure (CCF) events can significantly impact the availability of safety systems of nuclear power plants. For this reason, several Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) member countries initiated ...
Human aspects of nuclear energy and waste management were in focus during a recent mission to the US at the Waste Management Symposia in Arizona and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's 36th Annual...
The annual Benchmark Workshops of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) will be co-located with the BEPU 2024 conference and hosted by N.IN.E. (Nuc...
