Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance, an...
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphitemoderated gas-cooled nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. This design permits ...
The Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) and its expert groups co-ordinate benchmark activities on Reactor Single- and Multi-Physics. The benchmark ac...
Sodium fast reactors offer the most promising type of reactors to achieve such Generation IV goals at a reasonable time scale given the experience accumulated over the years. However, it is recognise...
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 objective of the OECD LWR UAM activity is to establish an internationally accepted benchmark framework to compare, assess and further develop different uncertainty analysis methods associated wit...
This benchmark focuses on FHR reactors with plates and triso fuel. Several phases are planned, starting with neutronics on a simple fuel element simulation without burn-up, and gradually extending to...
The annual WPRS Benchmarks Workshops took place on 22-26 May 2023 in Bologna, Italy.
