The NEA has studied multiple recycling issues associated with various reactor systems fuelled with mixed-oxide (MOX) and published a series of computational physics benchmarks. This has led to improv...

Since the beginning of benchmark activities, two benchmark workshops took place. The first was held in Madrid, Spain (June 1998), and the second in Garching near Munich, Germany (March 1999). It was ...

The benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a PWR main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the main steam isolation valves....

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...

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...

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...

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...
