All low-carbon solutions will be required to achieve the world's net zero targets. Nuclear energy has a role to play in meeting this need. A wave of innovation in small modular re...

The construction of nuclear power plants has always been challenging. This seems to have become more significant in recent decades (circa 2000 and later) as nuclear power plant projects in many NEA c...

Uranium is the primary raw material fuelling all nuclear fission reactors today. Countries around the world rely on it to generate low-carbon electricity, process heat and hydrogen as part of their s...

This report presents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events within the International Common-cause failure Data Exchange (ICDE) project. The topic of the study was external fa...

The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Working Group on Codes and Standards (WGCS) has agreed that a consensus position on the topic of the qualification of existing and new material man facturing technique...

The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) Working Group on Codes and Standards (WGCS) sponsored a online international workshop on in-service inspection (ISI) ...

Passive thermal-hydraulic systems are widely used in nuclear reactor safety and design. For example, primary circuits in existing boiling and pressurised water reactors are designed to take advantage...

This publication on small modular reactors (SMRs) for mining is the first of a series of NEA case studies that assess the opportunities and challenges for SMRs to support decarbonisation of hard-to-a...

The tsunami that followed the Great East Japan earthquake on 11 March 2011 led to beyond design-basis accidents at Units 1, 2 and 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant even though they had b...
