In 2022, the WPRS Expert Group on Thermal Hydraulics and Mechanics (EGTHM) mandated a new benchmark on high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) using high-temperature test facility (HTTF) data an...

Once irradiated or “spent” nuclear fuel is unloaded from a reactor it is usually stored at the reactor site for between five and ten years. It is then ready for long-term storage or for reprocessing ...

Several applications of interest in nuclear criticality safety involve random media, which are media where the geometrical and/or material properties can only be described by assigning some probabili...

Under the guidance of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor ph...
