Decommissioning of both commercially used and R&D nuclear facilities is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, and the largest of such industrial decommissioning projects could comma...

The fundamental objective of all nuclear safety regulatory bodies is to ensure that activities related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy are carried out in a safe manner within their respective c...

Defence in depth (DiD) is a concept that has been used for many years alongside tools to optimise nuclear safety in reactor design, assessment and regulation. The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power...

Activities carried out over the last three decades in relation to core-concrete interactions and melt coolability, as well as related containment failure modes, have significantly increased the level...

All national radioactive waste management authorities recognise today that a robust safety case is essential in developing disposal facilities for radioactive waste. To improve the robustness of the ...

Large quantities of materials arising from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are non-radioactive per se. An additional significant share of materials is of very low-level or low-level radioac...

Analytical codes and methods play a critical role in the design and safety analysis of nuclear reactors, helping to evaluate complex systems against potential severe events. This NEA report addresses...

This book describes the legal regime established to deal with the aftermath of a nuclear accident and the reappraisal of that regime following the Chernobyl disaster. It focuses particularly on the i...

L'évaluation de la sûreté à long terme des centres de stockage des déchets radioactifs nécessite notamment d’étudier les événements perturbateurs d’origine naturelle ou humaine et d’en évaluer les im...
