The main objective of ISP-47 was to assess the capabilities of lumped parameter (LP) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes in the area of containment thermal-hydraulics. Following the recommen...

NEA Working Group on the Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA) held its annual meeting, hosted by the CEA and atttended by nearly 90 delegates from 19 member countries, along with representati...

The OECD/SETH-2 project was carried out during the period 2007-2010 under the auspices of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and with support provided by the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ja...

The NEA Working Group on the Analysis and Management of Accidents convened for its annual meeting to discuss ongoing work related to accident strategy and management.
