NEA workshop on the "Nuclear and Social Science Nexus: Challenges and Opportunities for Speaking Across the Disciplinary Divide", 12‑13 December 2019
The central aim of this workshop was to explore how insights from the social sciences and humanities can be used to inform the decision-making of practitioners in nuclear energy organisations. The wo...
Uranium is the raw material used for nuclear energy generation. It is mined and further processed to make up the highly engineered fuel that is used in nuclear reactors.
The nuclear sector is constantly looking for new technologies that will make nuclear power plants even more reliable, cost-effective and safe.
Nuclear technology covers diverse subjects such as technology and innovation development of the nuclear fuel cycle and disruptive technologies like additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence....
Technetium‑99m (Tc‑99m) is the most commonly used radioisotope in nuclear medicine diagnostic scans. It is essential for diagnostic scans of a broad range of body parts, and thus for accurate diagnos...
As part of the work of the NEA Expert Group on "advanced reactor systems and future energy market needs”, a workshop was organised on 4 September 2019 with the objective of better understanding how t...
The central concept of NI2050, beyond technology development aspects, consists of building together, among truly interested parties, pipelines for testing, validation and qualification of technologie...
Under the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to aim for a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions sufficient to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre‑indu...
Nuclear Energy Data is the Nuclear Energy Agency's annual compilation of statistics and country reports documenting nuclear power status in NEA member countries and in the OECD area. Information prov...
This 27th edition of the “Red Book”, a recognised world reference on uranium jointly prepared by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), provides analyses a...
Uranium is the raw material used to produce fuel for long-lived nuclear power facilities, necessary for the generation of significant amounts of baseload low-carbon electricity for decades to come. A...
The brochure provides background information about the NEA.
On 13 April 2018, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) launched The Full Costs of Electricity Provision.
Electricity production, transport and consumption affect every facet of life. Market prices and pro...
It is clear that future nuclear systems will operate in an environment that will be very different from the electricity systems that accompanied the fast deployment of nuclear power plants in the 197...
