One of the key areas in fuel safety is the analysis of fuel behaviour under reactivity-initiated accident conditions. Reactivity-initiated accident fuel rod codes have been developed for a significan...
In 1986, a working group of the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations issued a state-of-the-art report on water reactor fuel behaviour in design-basis accident (DBA) conditions. The re...
This document is intended to provide regulators, their technical support organisations and industry with a concise review of existing fuel experimental data at reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) and...
The overall objective of the international OECD programme SERENA is to obtain convergence on the understanding of fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) processes and energetics, as well as on method(s) for ...
The Special Expert Group on Fuel Safety Margins (SEGFSM) was established by the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) with the objective to advance the current understanding and to ...
A set of fuel-related safety criteria was presented – along with both the rationale for having such criteria and possible new design and operational issues which could have an effect on them – in the...
The objective of the 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 countries....
The fuel for a nuclear reactor is both the source of the fission energy that is used to produce electricity and the source of radioactive material during an accident.
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) held an international workshop on Operational and Regulatory As...
