Nuclear safety

The NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) will hold a workshop on Evaluating Uncertainties in Relation to Severe Accidents and Level II Probabilistic Safety Analysis on 7-9 November 2005 in Cadarache, France. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/workshops/psa/.

The following nuclear safety reports have been released on the NEA website:

An OECD/NEA - CEA benchmark on thermal fatigue in fluid mixing areas [NEA/CSNI/R(2005)2];
Review of International Developments and Co-operation on Risk-Informed In-Service Inspection (RI-ISI) and Non-destructive Testing (NDT) Qualification in NEA Member Countries – Responses to the questionnaire [NEA/CSNI/R(2005)3];
Final Report of the International Standard Problem No. 48 on Containment Capacity [NEA/CSNI/R(2005)5]. Volume 1: Synthesis report; Volume 2: Appendices C-G; Volume 3: Appendices H-L.
Thermal Cycling in LWR Components in NEA Member Countries [NEA/CSNI/R(2005)8];
Status Report on Developments and Co-operation on Risk-informed In-service Inspection and Non-destructive Testing (NDT) Qualification in NEA Member Countries [NEA/CSNI/R(2005)9].

All reports are available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/reports/csnirepindex.html.

Nuclear law

The fifth session of the International School of Nuclear Law (ISNL), a programme jointly organised by the NEA and the University of Montpellier 1, took place on 22 August - 2 September 2005 in Montpellier. The ISNL aims to provide a high-quality programme on all aspects of the law governing the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Classes cater to both law students pursuing their studies at masters or doctoral level who are interested in specialising in this field and to professionals already active in the nuclear sector. The 2005 session brought together 57 participants from 30 countries. More information is available at: www.oecd-nea.org/general/mnb/2005/09-law.html.
