A Task Group on Advanced Reactor Experimental Facilities (TAREF) had been set up to provide an overview of facilities suitable for carrying out safety research on gas-cooled and sodium fast reactors....
This task group was set up to carry out a pilot project using the methodology propsed in the final SMAP report published in 2007. In this pilot project, the SMAP methodology was applied to the Zion n...
This working group's objective was to advance the current understanding and to address safety issues related to fuel safety margins, in particular to systematically assess the technical basis for cur...
The Senior Expert Group on Safety Research Opportunities Post-Fukushima (SAREF) was established at the June 2013 CSNI meeting to identify research activities to address safety research knowledge gaps...
The Senior Expert Group on Safety Research / Support Facilities for Existing and Advanced Reactors 2 (SESAR/SFEAR2) is responsible for reviewing and updating the previous SESAR assessments of researc...
The OECD NEA RASPLAV Project provided experiments with prototypical material and data on the behavior of molten core material (corium) in the reactor pressure vessel lower head during a severe accide...
This document is an extension of the NEA/SEN/SIN/AMA(2006)2 report produced by the Writing Group 3 on the extension of CFD to two-phase flow safety problems, which was formed following the recommen...
The eighth instalment of the workshop on computational fluid dynamics for nuclear reactor safety (CFD4NRS-8) was organised by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Instal...
The main mission of the Working Group on External Events (WGEV) is to improve the understanding and treatment of external hazards that would support the continued safety performance of nuclear instal...
The cold leg mixing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – uncertainty quantification (CLM-UQ) benchmark is the fifth benchmark concerning CFD applications to nuclear reactor safety to be organised in ...
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.
Within the context of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Advanced Thermal-hydraulic Test Loop for Accident Simulation (ATLAS) project, a series of tests were performed to resolve key thermal-hydraulic s...
Around 50 delegates from 22 countries and 2 international organisations gathered on 6-7 June 2023 for the 73rd CSNI meeting.
In the current project, a new systematic approach has been developed, called SAPIUM (systematic approach for input uncertainty quantification methodology) for transparent and rigorous model IUQ. This...
