The joint NEA-IAEA symposium hosted by the United Kingdom’s Office for Nuclear Regulation brought together experts to exchange on the use and application of Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA) for re...

Joint NEA and IAEA event will explore probabilistic safety assessment for reactors of singular designs

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, ...

This Phase II exercise was the first benchmarking of severe accident codes promoted by NEA in almost 20 years. The objective of the exercise was to perform a code benchmark on a well-defined plant (s...

The TMI-2 accident keeps providing unique full scale data giving opportunities to check the ability of the codes to model overall plant behaviour and to perform many sensitivity and uncertainty calcu...

In July 2016, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) held a joint workshop to evaluate the current state of the art on operational safety of geological repo...

Three Mile Island Unit 2 Analysis Exercise Final Report

The NEA Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) has served as the most important and effective international platform for developing and integrating the science and engineering necessary to unde...

In the deep disposal of radioactive waste, the presence of several barriers serving complementary safety functions enhances confidence that the waste will be isolated and contained to protect human h...
