The Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) was established in 2000 by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) in recognition of the need for continued...
The NEA Working Group on Digital Instrumentation and Controls (WGDIC) has agreed that a consensus position on the impact of cyber security features on digital instrumentation and control (I&C) system...
The main mission of the Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) is to advance the current understanding of the relevant aspects related with ensuring the integrity...
The objective of the Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) is to advance the understanding of relevant aspects of nuclear fuel cycle safety, including: uranium mining and milling; uranium refini...
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has just published a new report entitled Five Years after the Fukushima Daiichi Accident: Nuclear Safety Improvements and Lessons Learnt.
NEA News is the professional journal of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). It features articles on the latest nuclear energy issues concerning the economic and technical aspects of nuclear energy, nucl...
Common-cause failure (CCF) events can significantly impact the availability of safety systems of nuclear power plants. For this reason, the International Common-Cause Failure Data Exchange (ICDE) Pro...
The purpose of the ICDE Project is to allow multiple countries to collaborate and exchange common cause failure (CCF) data to enhance the quality of risk analyses that include CCF modelling. Because ...
The purpose of the International Common Cause Data Exchange (ICDE) Project is to allow multiple countries to collaborate and exchange Common Cause Failure (CCF) data to enhance the quality of risk an...
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events for diesel generators. The events were derived from the International CCF Data Exchange (ICDE) database and the s...
Management of spent fuel (SF) and high-level waste (HLW) is fundamental to the fuel cycle safety. The original management strategies were established on the basis of limited interim storage periods o...
This report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events of Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) at nuclear power plants. In May 2000, the ICDE Project published a report su...
Seismic probabilistic safety assessment (SPSA) is a systematic method for examining and evaluating the risk from earthquake-initiated accidents. The significant advances in the area of SPSA since the...
In the light of the TEPCO Fukushima accident, this report documents a study performed on a set of common-cause failure (CCF) events due to external factors, meaning that not only storms and hurricane...
This report documents a study performed on a set of ICDE events related to heat exchangers. The events studied here had been collected in the ICDE database. Organisations from Canada, Germany, Japan,...
The Euratom Conferences FISA 2022 – EURADWASTE ’22 will take place on 30 May – 3 June 2022 in Lyon, France.
This will be the 10th edition of the Euratom research and training conferences on fission s...
When looking for a validation experiment for CFD application to reactor simulation for either design or safety studies, it appears that available data often suffer from a lack of local measurements, ...
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...
In this document, the general coding guidelines for the OECD NEA ICDE Project (International Common Cause Failure Data Exchange) are presented with explanations and appendices for each analysed compo...
The objective of the NEA’s Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) is to advance the understanding for both regulators and operators of relevant aspects of nuclear fuel cycle safety in member coun...
