This web page is intended for the description of the nuclear fuel cycle codes that have been used in the recent activities of the Expert Group on Advanced Fuel Cycle Scenarios (EGAFCS), under the gui...

The Working Party on Scientific Issues of Advanced Fuel Cycles (WPFC) studies advanced nuclear fuel cycles, including fuel cycle scenarios, innovative fuels and materials, separation chemistry, waste...

A wealth of technical information exists on nuclear fuel cycle options – combinations of nuclear fuel types, reactor types, used or spent nuclear fuel (SNF) treatments, and disposal schemes – and mos...

New NEA task force on partitioning and transmutation kicks off

The quality of the isotopic composition of plutonium fuel degrades as the number of recycles increases in thermal reactors, requiring an increase in the total loading necessary in mixed plutonium-ura...

The goal of the Expert Group on Back-end Strategies (BEST) was to identify aspects of significant importance to countries’ decisions on whether to deploy partially and fully closed nuclear fuel cycle...

The NEA has studied multiple recycling issues associated with various reactor systems fuelled with mixed-oxide (MOX) and published a series of computational physics benchmarks. This has led to improv...
