The NEA Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) held its bi-annual meetings in June 2023
High-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors are one of the next generation reactor designs. This benchmark consists of a multi-staged code-to-code-to-data thermal hydraulics code validation benchmar...
The nuclear sector has in recent years been placing increasing attention on the need to better understand variations between cost estimates for the decommissioning of nuclear power plants, as well as...
The annual WPRS Benchmarks Workshops took place on 22-26 May 2023 in Bologna, Italy.
Kick-off workshop of the thermal hydraulic code validation benchmark for high temperature gas-cooled reactors using High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) data.
Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFR) are rather new concepts which have gathered increasing international attention after the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF) selected them as promising candidates ...
The annual Benchmark Workshops of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems will be hosted by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sus...
This report presents the results of a benchmark study on innovative fuels for fast reactors using fuel performance codes. Irradiation results were shared among participants of the expert group and co...
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 ...
The NEA thermal hydraulic code validation benchmark for high temperature gas-cooled reactors using HTTF data (HTGR T/H), supervised by the Expert Group on Reactor Core Thermal-Hydraulics and Mechanic...
