In 2022, the WPRS Expert Group on Thermal Hydraulics and Mechanics (EGTHM) mandated a new benchmark on high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) using high-temperature test facility (HTTF) data an...

Once irradiated or “spent” nuclear fuel is unloaded from a reactor it is usually stored at the reactor site for between five and ten years. It is then ready for long-term storage or for reprocessing ...

Several applications of interest in nuclear criticality safety involve random media, which are media where the geometrical and/or material properties can only be described by assigning some probabili...
