The quality of the isotopic composition of plutonium fuel degrades as the number of recycles increases in thermal reactors. There are in addition incentives to better utilise fuel by increasing the b...

The quality of the isotopic composition of plutonium fuel degrades as the number of recycles increases in thermal reactors, requiring an increase in the total loading necessary in mixed plutonium-ura...

Studies on fast reactors have historically concentrated on their capability of using plutonium produced in thermal reactors as initial fuel, and subsequently their capacity to produce electricity whi...

Attitudes towards plutonium management vary from country to country and from utility to utility: some regard plutonium as a liability and others as a valuable source of energy.

The purpose of this st...

Since 2007, the NEA has organised a series of workshops on structural materials for innovative nuclear systems (SMINS). The fifth meeting, held from 8‑11 July 2019 in Kyoto, Japan, was hosted by Kyot...

The OECD/NEA Nuclear Science Committee Task Force on Computing Radiation Dose and Modelling of Radiation-induced Degradation of Reactor Components was set up in November 1995 in response to a request...

In this benchmark exercise the goal is to test the current state-of-the-art two-dimensional methods of calculating neutron flux to reactor components against the measured data of the VENUS-1 critical...
