Two new reports from the WGFS highlight the latest developments in RIA research.

Following the recommendations from the technical workshop on “Nuclear Fuel Behaviour during Reactivity-Initiated Accidents” organised by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in September 2009, a first ben...

As a follow-up to the 2010 NEA report Nuclear Fuel Behaviour under Reactivity-initiated Accident (RIA) Conditions: State-of-the-art Report 2010, this report presents the state-of-the-art knowledge on...

Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, many countries began funding research and development on nuclear fuel designs with enhanced accident tolerance (ATFs). ATFs have i...

One of the key areas in fuel safety is the analysis of fuel behaviour under reactivity-initiated accident conditions. Reactivity-initiated accident fuel rod codes have been developed for a significan...

This report documents the proceedings of the Workshop on Pellet-Cladding Interaction (PCI) in Water-Cooled Reactors held in Lucca, Italy on 22-24 June 2016. The workshop was organised jointly by the ...

Since the time of the first LOCA experiments, which were largely conducted with fresh fuel, changes in the fuel design, the introduction of new cladding materials and in particular the move to high b...
