This joint workshop on low-dose research co-ordination was co-organised by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) High-Level Group on Low-Dose Research (HLG-LDR) and the Electric Power Research Institute (E...
Accurate cost estimates for decommissioning nuclear facilities are crucial for countries with nuclear installations. Since the 1980s, many countries have faced significant cost and schedule overruns ...
Common cause failure (CCF) events can significantly impact the availability of the safety systems of nuclear power plants. For this reason, several countries initiated the International Common-Cause ...
Photo credit: EDFMeeting the objective of tripling nuclear energy by 2050 will require the deployment of more than 20 gigawatts per year of new installed nuclear capacity from 2030 to 2050, a level o...
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...
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...
