Sodium fast reactors offer the most promising type of reactors to achieve such Generation IV goals at a reasonable time scale given the experience accumulated over the years. However, it is recognise...
Thermal hydraulics and mechanics deals with the physics and mechanics of the flow and energetic transfer of liquids, and its interactions with the structures around them in large complex systems, suc...
The modelling and simulation of nuclear systems allow scientists and engineers to probe aspects of the operation of these systems beyond what has been precisely measured. This has numerous applicatio...
Questions relating to the space, time end energy distribution of neutrons and radiation in different media are the domain of reactor physics.
Understanding fuel performance is a key condition for successful reactor operation. Scientific knowledge in this domain was conceived by experimental tests encoded into software routines to ensure ac...
Under the guidance of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) the expert group performs specific tasks associated with fuel performance aspects of pr...
