Since the early 2000s there is an increasing demand from nuclear research, industry, safety and regulation for best-estimate predictions to be provided with their confidence bounds. Consequently, an ...

This report presents the results of a benchmark study on innovative fuels for fast reactors using fuel performance codes. Irradiation results were shared among participants of the expert group and co...

Monte Carlo criticality calculations involve a two-step procedure based on a stochastic implementation of the power iteration method: first, achieve convergence of the fission source distribution dur...

The understanding of nuclear physics and the associated uncertainties is essential to the modelling of all nuclear systems. Nuclear reaction probabilities, emitted particle energies and angles, fissi...

This benchmark report has been compiled under the guidance of the NEA Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) in the Subgroup on the Role of Integral Experiment Uncertainties and Covarian...

The NEA Expert Group on Used Nuclear Fuel criticality (EGUNF) organised a Phase IIB benchmark to re-examine code and nuclear data performance for BWR lattice calculations and focus on the depletion m...

Under the auspices of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Advanced Fuel Cycles (WPFC) was established to co-ordinate scientific activities related to ad...

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...

Advanced nuclear fuel cycles to improve the safety, sustainability and economics of nuclear energy are being investigated worldwide. Partitioning and transmutation (P&T) is one of the candidate techn...

The following report is issued by the WPEC Subgroup 27, which builds upon the work of the previous Subgroups 21 and 23, critically reviewing the gamma emission data and providing recommendations to i...

The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Strategic Plan serves as a guiding instrument that reflects the priorities of its member countries as the Agency addresses evolving needs in the exploration and a...

Proceedings of the Fourteenth Workshop, 30 October-2 November 2018, Gyeongju, Korea.

In the past decade, a large amount of effort has been made towards the direct simulation of the boiling transition (BT) for boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel bundles. This international benchmark, bas...

The purpose of this prismatic High Temperature Reactor (HTR) benchmark is to provide a solution set that can be used in future code benchmarking and to better understand the effects induced by the pr...

This benchmark focuses on FHR reactors with plates and triso fuel. Several phases are planned, starting with neutronics on a simple fuel element simulation without burn-up, and gradually extending to...
