NEA/SEN/HLGMR(2019)2

At the request of its member countries, the NEA became involved in global efforts to ensure an economically sustainable secure supply of molybdenum-99/technetium-99m. This final ...

The "Red Book", is a biennial publication produced jointly by the NEA and the IAEA under the auspices of the joint NEA/IAEA Uranium Group. It is the only government-sponsored publication tracking wor...

This ongoing series on projected costs of generating electricity presents and analyses cost estimates for some 130 power and co-generation (heat and power) plants using coal, gas, nuclear and renewab...

An NEA initiative to accelerate R&D and market deployment of innovative nuclear fission technologies.

The Uranium group's primary area of work is producing the biennial publication of the Red Book. 

Uranium is the raw material used for nuclear energy generation. It is mined and further processed to make up the highly engineered fuel that is used in nuclear reactors.

This workshop series will bring together experts from the nuclear energy, sustainability and financing sectors to discuss approaches for financing sustainable, large infrastructure projects with a fo...

This workbook has been developed to aid reactor and alternative technology operators identify their full costs associated with the provision of irradiation services for 99Mo production. The workbook ...

This document provides guidance to reactor and alternative production technology (e.g., cyclotrons, accelerators) operators on how to undertake full-cost identification and implement full-cost recove...

Description

The workshop on 'Modelling Employment in the Nuclear Power Sector' was held at NEA Headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux ...

Attitudes towards plutonium management vary from country to country and from utility to utility: some regard plutonium as a liability and others as a valuable source of energy.

The purpose of this st...

Studies on fast reactors have historically concentrated on their capability to use plutonium produced in thermal reactors as initial fuel, and subsequently their capacity to produce electricity while...
