The Third International Conference on Fatigue of Reactor Components held in Seville, Spain on 3-6 October 2004 was co-organised by the EPRI, the US NRC and the OECD NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuc...
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...
The Material Scaling (MASCA) Project investigated in-vessel phenomena during a severe accident. In particular, it addressed the influence of the chemical composition of the molten corium on the heat ...
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 Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) has as a general mandate to advance the current understanding o...
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 Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) considered there was a need to review the state-of-the-art tech...
The July 2006 Forsmark-1 event identified a number of design deficiencies related to electrical power supply to systems and components important to safety in nuclear power plants. The CSNI establishe...
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...
Several OECD member countries agreed to establish the OECD/NEA Piping Failure Data Exchange Project (OECD/NEA OPDE) to encourage multilateral co-operation in the collection and analysis of data relat...
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,...
In 2012, following a proposal from Japan, the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) decided to initiate a joint project to conduct a study of the accident progression for the Fukush...
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...
