Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident: Message from Director-General Magwood
CSNI and CNRA held their biannual meetings and a joint session at the NEA headquarters.
As a follow-up to the 2010 NEA report Nuclear Fuel Behaviour under Reactivity-initiated Accident (RIA) Conditions: State-of-the-art Report 2010, this report presents the state-of-the-art knowledge on...
Prevention, mitigation and management of potential accidents in nuclear power plants
The Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) held an international workshop on Process and Safety Improvem...
Since 2001, the NEA has supported the Senior Expert Group on Safety Research Thermal-hydraulics (SETH), the Primärkreislauf-Versuchsanlage - Primary Coolant Loop Test Facility (PKL), PKL-2 and PKL-3 ...
Increasingly engineers are confronted with the need to perform predictive structural assessment based on limited or incomplete data set. This may include damage up to failure assessment (in the conte...
The objective of the CSNI ASCET activity is to make general recommendations for ageing management of concrete nuclear facilities taking into account the effect of concrete pathologies on structural d...
Taking into account life extension of nuclear power plants (NPPs) there is a need to investigate degradation mechanisms of existing structures defining their aging management program. The Alkali Aggr...
Taking into account life extension, concrete degradation becomes one of the main issues for long-term operation (LTO). Concrete pathologies/degradation mechanisms – alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR), d...
