This report established by the NEA Working Group on Fuel Safety (WGFS) of the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) compiles the state-of-the-art knowledge on fuel behaviour in loss...

Participants from 14 organisations, representing 11 countries, performed the benchmark exercise. Each participant provided a high-level summary of the leak-before-break (LBB) requirements in their co...

Suppliers play a critical role in the construction and operation of nuclear power plants. With a declining number of nuclear grade suppliers and a loss of skills in some regions, supply chain oversig...

The Working Group on Supply Chain (WGSUP) works to provide a mechanism for nuclear safety regulators and technical support organizations (TSOs) to share their knowledge and experience on regulatory a...

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...

The CDLM assists member states in holistically addressing challenges in the execution of decommissioning and legacy management through sharing experiences among members with a broad range of expertis...

CSNI and CNRA held their biannual meetings and a joint session at the NEA headquarters.

This activity of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) is entitled “Asses...

Climate change will create specific risks and challenges for nuclear power plants and the electricity system as a whole. Extreme weather events caused by climate change – such as floods, storms, heat...

To address the objective of the Expert Group on Innovative Structural Materials (EGISM) related to sharing available experimental installations, this report considers the existing facilities, also de...

Experience from decommissioning projects suggests that the decommissioning of nuclear power plants could be made easier if it received greater consideration at the design stage and during the operati...

L’expérience des projets de démantèlement de centrales nucléaires laisse entendre que l’on pourrait simplifier ces opérations si l’on y accordait davantage d’attention au moment de la conception ou p...

La libération des sites d’installations nucléaires des contrôles radiologiques est généralement l’une des dernières étapes du déclassement. À ce jour, seul un petit nombre de projets en ont fait l’ob...

Releasing the site of a nuclear installation from radiological control is usually one of the last steps of decommissioning. To date, site release has been practised in a limited number of cases only ...

Le problème clé dans le démantèlement des installations nucléaires est l’élimination progressive des risques, au moyen d’une série d’actions de décontamination et de déconstruction qui doivent être r...

The key issue in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities is the progressive removal of hazards, by stepwise decontamination and dismantling activities that have to be carried out safely and within ...

This overview presents an easily accessible synopsis of the regulatory control of radioactive waste management in 15 NEA member countries. It covers the management of radioactive waste from all types...

Una delle preoccupazioni più diffuse in tema di produzione di energia elettrica da fonte nucleare è che la disattivazione degli impianti nucleari - ovvero il loro smantellamento fino allo stato final...
