Challenges related to extended storage are topical in most countries with mature nuclear programmes. Effort to address this issue is ongoing in individual countries. Available knowledge from member c...

Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) , the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance, and radiation transport a...

WPFC deals with scientific issues in various existing and advanced nuclear fuel cycles, including fuel cycle scenarios, physics, separation chemistry and flowsheets, waste forms, fuels and materials,...

The nuclear fuel cycle is the chain of processes whereby nuclear fuel is prepared and managed before and after its use in a reactor.

The expert group monitored the feedback from version 0 of the Lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) handbook, collected, analysed and checked the consistency of expected new results from ongoing heavy liquid m...

The expert group conducts joint and comparative studies to support the development, selection and characterisation of innovative structural materials that can be implemented in advanced nuclear fuel ...

The expert group conducts joint and comparative studies to identify technical issues and support the development of innovative fuels that can be implemented in advanced nuclear fuel cycles.

The former Expert Group on Heavy Liquid Metal (HLM) Technology was active for several years and its main objective was to issue a handbook with a collection of theoretical approaches and experimental...

The task force developed best practice guidelines by performing a benchmark study on thermo-hydraulic modelling of heavy liquid metal coolant, e.g. lead and lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloy.

The expert group focuses on the separations processes relevant to recycling technologies for spent nuclear fuel including waste treatment.
