ICSBEP, SINBAD AND IRPhEP Technical Review Group meetings
Criticality safety relates to accident prevention and protection from an uncontrolled nuclear fission chain reaction, or a criticality accident.
Ninth International Conference on Nuclear Criticality (ICNC2011) - Programme and call for papers
WPNCS 2019 meetings - Subgroup 7 (SG-7) agenda
Criticality is the state of a nuclear reactor when there is a self-sustaining chain reaction of fissionable material. Criticality safety analysis relates to evaluation approaches in data and computat...
A criticality excursion (also referred to as a criticality accident) is the accidental production of a self-sustaining or divergent chain reaction of fissionable material.
Criticality is the state of a nuclear reactor when there is a self-sustaining chain reaction of fissionable material. Criticality experiments are controlled tests using fissile materials, like pluton...
