NEA Expert Group on Fuel Recycling Chemistry (EGFRC): The International Database on Extractant Ligands (IDEaL)
The expert group works in co-ordination with Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) [including the IRPhE Project], Working Party on Scientific Issues of the Fuel Cycle (WPFC) an...
The expert group critically reviewed integral experiments for validating minor actinide (MA) nuclear data, recommended additional integral experiments needed for validating MA nuclear data and invest...
Materials research is a field of growing relevance for innovative nuclear systems, such as Generation IV reactors, critical and sub-critical transmutation systems and fusion devices. For these differ...
Fourth International Workshop on Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS-4) – Programme
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) organised the fourth international workshop on technology and components of accelerator driven systems (TCADS-4). The meeting was held in Antwerp, Belgium on 14-17 Oct...
The nuclear fuel cycle is the chain of processes whereby nuclear fuel is prepared and managed before and after its use in a reactor.
As part of the development of advanced nuclear systems, including accelerator-driven systems (ADS) proposed for high-level radioactive waste transmutation and generation IV reactors, heavy liquid met...
Heavy liquid metals such as lead or lead-bismuth have been proposed and investigated as coolants for fast reactors since the 1950s. More recently, there has been renewed interest worldwide in the use...
The NEA Expert Group on Innovative Structural Materials (EGISM) organised a workshop on 19-21 October 2021 together with the Spanish Center for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMA...
This publication provides an introduction to minor actinide nuclear properties and discusses some of the arguments in favour of minor actinide recycling, as well as the potential role of thermal reac...
Many countries have been performing a wide range of research on the partitioning and transmutation (P&T) of minor actinides and fission products. The aim is to provide greater flexibility in terms of...
