CODAP is the continuation of the 2002-2011 “OECD/NEA Pipe Failure Data Exchange Project” (OPDE) and the work by the Stress Corrosion Cracking Working Group of the 2006–2010 “OECD/NEA SCC and Cable Ag...
To meet the overall safety objectives and to achieve a balanced plant design, natural hazards have to be considered in the design of nuclear installations. Deriving the strength of such events from a...
The investigation conducted in the last 15 years on different aspects of Source Term worldwide, and particularly in the context of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in the form of projects and the Work...
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...
After the Fukushima nuclear accident, many activities were initiated in the countries with nuclear energy to assess the robustness of nuclear power plants with respect to earthquakes, tsunamis and fl...
As the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) accident illustrates, many challenges have to be faced in maintaining safety over the long term in a damaged NPP following a severe accident. These ...
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency developed an initiative to form writing groups of experts with the specific task of assessing the maturity of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes for nuclear reaco...
The present report has been prepared by the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Fuel Safety (WGFS) and covers the following technical aspects:
In 2009, the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) approved a proposal by the Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) to assess current knowledge...
The NEA Committe on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI), noting that different approaches to determining cladding embrittlement criteria produced nearly identical limits, asked the Working Gro...
