There is significant international interest in the effects of temperature on criticality safety evaluations. Improved access to nuclear data, notably thermal scattering data S(α,β) for hydrogen in ic...

For many years, extensive experimental investigations into the system response of pressurised water reactors (PWRs) under accident conditions have been being conducted at the large-scale Primärkreisl...

Scheme of the PSB-VVER facility, EREC

The NEA PSB-VVER project provided unique and useful experimental data for code validation using the PSB-VVER test facility. The PSB-VVER facility is a large-scal...

This benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a pressurised water reactor (PWR) main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the...
