Since its inception in 2002, the operating experience with thermal fatigue mechanisms has been an intrinsic aspect of the technical scope of CODAP, which is a joint database project within the Commit...
This report summarises the work done for the activity: “Benchmark analysis on the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) calculation technology in its use to evaluate the fracture mechanics stress in...
The Specialists Workshop on Advanced Instrumentation and Measurement Techniques for Experiments Related to Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics and Severe Accidents (SWINTH-2019), co-organised by the S...
Prevention, mitigation and management of potential accidents in nuclear power plants
This report provides insights from a survey of Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) member countries on the concepts used to establish effective measures to cope with external flooding hazards and on the term...
The objective of the Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) is to advance the understanding of relevant aspects of nuclear fuel cycle safety, including: uranium mining and milling; uranium refini...
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...
The VeRCoRs facility mock-up is a reactor containment building at 1/3 scale. The mock-up is instrumented so that its behaviour is monitored from the beginning of construction. More than 700 sensors a...
The Working Group supports improved uses of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) in risk-informed regulation and safety management through the analysis of results and the development of perspectives...
The Programme Review Group is established to perform a programme quality review function within the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) and to provide scientific assistance to the...
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 intersystem...
The joint NEA-IAEA symposium hosted by the United Kingdom’s Office for Nuclear Regulation brought together experts to exchange on the use and application of Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA) for re...
CSNI and CNRA held their biannual meetings and a joint session at the NEA headquarters.
The Symposium is free of charge for all participants and is scheduled to take place in person at the ONR’s offices near Liverpool in the United Kingdom.
Joint NEA and IAEA event will explore probabilistic safety assessment for reactors of singular designs
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...
Independent safety regulation has been a hallmark of the global nuclear power sector from its beginnings. Industry and government have long understood the importance of a predictable and adaptable re...
