Based on the success of the OECD/NRC BFBT Benchmark, Japan released data based on the NUPEC PWR Sub-channel and Bundle Tests (PSBT) Benchmark and asked Pennsylvania State University (PSU) in the Unit...
The need to refine models for best-estimate calculations based on good-quality experimental data has arisen for various nuclear applications. One of the most extensive and valuable databases availabl...
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...
The Benchmark for Uncertainty Analysis in Best-Estimate Modelling (UAM) for Design, Operation and Safety Analysis of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) is an international high-visibility benchmark for unce...
The quality of the isotopic composition of plutonium fuel degrades as the number of recycles increases in thermal reactors, requiring an increase in the total loading necessary in mixed plutonium-ura...
Experimental facilities in nuclear energy are key to addressing safety issues. The recent loss of some critical infrastructure, from facilities to industry expertise, has therefore become a concern f...
The expert group provided advice to the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) on the scientific development needs (data and methods, validation experiments, scenario studies) o...
The overall objective of the VVER-1000 Coolant Transient (V1000CT) Benchmark was to assess computer codes used in the safety analysis of water-water energetic reactor (VVER) power plants, specificall...
An approach similar to the OECD/NRC Boiling Water Reactor Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Tests (BFBT) Benchmark was adopted by dividing the benchmark activity into phases.
