This Phase II exercise was the first benchmarking of severe accident codes promoted by NEA in almost 20 years. The objective of the exercise was to perform a code benchmark on a well-defined plant (s...
Accident analysis and management focusses on understanding the causes and consequences of an accident at a nuclear facility, and on how to manage an accident through prevention and mitigation.
The aim of this report is to examine whether there are any international variations in the electrical power system designs (“design variations”) of nuclear power plants that affect the system respons...
The objective of the NEA’s Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) is to advance the understanding for both regulators and operators of relevant aspects of nuclear fuel cycle safety in member coun...

The present report summarises the main results and learnings from the third phase of the NEA Behaviour of Iodine Project (BIP-3), which was conducted between 2016 and 2019 by the Canadian Nuclear Lab...
Boiling water reactors (BWRs) use light water as a coolant and a moderator. This water is converted to steam in the core and then passes through a turbine.
Codes and standards are technical positions that govern specific activities such as welding, fabrication, testing and non-destructive examination, and are crucial to nuclear safety operations.
This report documents a study performed on a set of ICDE events related to heat exchangers. The events studied here had been collected in the ICDE database. Organisations from Canada, Germany, Japan,...
The Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) is responsible for NEA programmes and activities that support maintaining and advancing the scientific and technical knowledge base of the ...
The eighth instalment of the workshop on computational fluid dynamics for nuclear reactor safety (CFD4NRS-8) was organised by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Instal...
The NEA Working Group on Digital Instrumentation and Controls (WGDIC) has agreed that a consensus position on the impact of cyber security features on digital instrumentation and control (I&C) system...
The CSNI Action Plan in the Area of Safety Margins was set up by the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI),
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Working Group on the Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA) aims to contribute to the assessment of the prevention, mitigation and management of accidents, ultim...
The NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) established a task group to examine Defence in Depth of Electrical Systems and Grid Interaction (DIDELSYS). The DIDELSYS Project, carri...
Seismic probabilistic safety assessment (SPSA) is a systematic method for examining and evaluating the risk from earthquake-initiated accidents. The significant advances in the area of SPSA since the...
Digital instrumentation and control equipment (DI&C) transmits information in ones and zeros, and provides a number of advantages in nuclear safety.
In order to reach a better understanding of countries’ different approaches to the evaluation of vibrations detected in piping systems and components, the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Insta...
The Expert Group on Occupational Exposure (EGOE) will build on operational and regulatory experience in NEA member countries, focusing on the use of existing databases to identify where and how opera...
