The Advanced Thermal-hydraulic Test Loop for Accident Simulation (ATLAS) Project was referenced in The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident...

Common-cause failure (CCF) events can significantly affect the availability of nuclear power plant safety systems. In recognition of this, CCF data is systematically collected and analysed in several...

The main purpose of the project is to encourage multilateral co-operation in the collection and analysis of data relating to fire events. The objectives of the NEA Fire Project are to:

• collect fire ...

The Component Operational Experience, Degradation and Ageing Programme (CODAP) combines the follow-up of two previous NEA projects: the Pipe Failure Data Exchange Project (OPDE) and the stress corros...

The Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project develops a reference database of chemical thermodynamic values for elements and compounds relevant to the safety of radioactive waste repositories and vital ...

In 2006, two subjects, stress corrosion cracking and the degradation of cable insulation were selected as the focus of the Stress Corrosion Cracking and Cable Ageing Project (SCAP). The project ran f...

The experimental investigations carried out in the frame of the THAI (2007-09) and THAI-2 (2011-14) projects contributed significantly to hydrogen and fission-product-related issues in a water-cooled...

The acronym PRISME comes from the French phrase propagation d’un incendie pour des scénarios multi-locaux élémentaires, which in English can be translated as "fire propagation in elementary, multi-ro...

The Senior Expert Group on Safety Research Opportunities Post-Fukushima (SAREF) was established at the June 2013 Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) meeting to identify research a...

The Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Task Group on Advanced Reactor Experimental Facilities (TAREF) was established in 2007 and issued a report on the experimental facilities f...

The NEA Behaviour of Iodine Project (BIP) was created to provide separate effects and modelling studies of iodine behaviour in a nuclear reactor containment building following a severe accident. This...

The Benchmark Study of the Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (BSAF) Project was established in 2012. The objective of the project was to improve severe accident (SA) codes and t...
