Once irradiated or “spent” nuclear fuel is unloaded from a reactor it is usually stored at the reactor site for between five and ten years. It is then ready for long-term storage or for reprocessing ...

Several applications of interest in nuclear criticality safety involve random media, which are media where the geometrical and/or material properties can only be described by assigning some probabili...

国家内部和国家之间核设施退役成本估算的格式、内容和实践存在很大差异。这些差异自有其正当理由，但也会使审查估算值的过程变得复杂，估算值本身也难以论证。因此经济合作与发展组织核能署、国际原子能机构和欧盟委员会联合倡议列出退役成本的标准清单，可以直接用于成本估算或将估算值转换为标准的通用结构便于比较。本报告结合迄今为止积累的经验，更新了早期1999年公布的条目。修订后的成本分项结构旨在体现退役项目计划...

This report presents the description and the interpretation of the tests carried out in the third phase of the NEA Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) activity...

Since the publication, in 2001, of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) report describing the role of underground research laboratories (URLs) in nuclear waste disposal programmes and their value to build...

Under the guidance of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor ph...

The seismic design rules for nuclear power plant piping systems that have been in practice since the 1960s have been applied to hundreds of piping supports and seismic restraints for nuclear power pl...

The Fourth International Workshop on the Indemnification of Damage in the Event of a Nuclear Accident took place in Lisbon, Portugal in October 2019. It was organised in collaboration with the Instit...

The International School of Nuclear Law (ISNL) Commemorative Brochure highlights the history, academics and unique features of the ISNL that contribute to the "Spirit of Montpellier". In addition, th...

Passive thermal-hydraulic systems are widely used in nuclear reactor safety and design. For example, primary circuits in existing boiling and pressurised water reactors are designed to take advantage...
