In the ASCET Phase III, the goal was to assess and develop the Phase II (blind benchmark) recommendations using additional test results. The Phase III simulations were performed using a full set of t...

Taking into account life extension, concrete degradation becomes one of the main issues for long-term operation (LTO). Concrete pathologies/degradation mechanisms – alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR), d...

Taking into account life extension of nuclear power plants (NPPs) there is a need to investigate degradation mechanisms of existing structures defining their aging management program. The Alkali Aggr...

The objective of the CSNI ASCET activity is to make general recommendations for ageing management of concrete nuclear facilities taking into account the effect of concrete pathologies on structural d...

Increasingly engineers are confronted with the need to perform predictive structural assessment based on limited or incomplete data set. This may include damage up to failure assessment (in the conte...

Mankind now enjoys many benefits from nuclear-related technologies. There is, however, growing concern in many OECD countries that nuclear education and training is decreasing, perhaps to problematic...

The Information System on Occupational Exposure (ISOE) is jointly sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Since 1992, ISOE has provided a forum...

Principles and Practice of International Nuclear Law examines the various interrelated legal issues for the safe, efficient and secure use of nuclear energy. It provides an overview of the complex bo...

Radioactive waste repositories are designed to isolate waste from the living environment without human intervention over extended periods of time. Nevertheless, the intention is not to abandon the re...

Published every year, the NEA Annual report includes an overview of NEA's activities and publications produced during the year, as well as the latest developments in nuclear energy sector around the ...
