3-D Radiation Transport benchmarks dealt with scientific issues in the field of deterministic and stochastic methods and computer codes relative to three dimensional (3-D) radiation transport.
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphitemoderated gas-cooled nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. This design permits ...
In response to growing interest in high-temperature, gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) in many countries and the need for improved materials for nuclear applications in high-temperature environments, the N...

In response to increasing interest in high-temperature, gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) and the need for improved knowledge of materials for nuclear applications that resist high temperatures, the NEA or...
The Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) and its expert groups co-ordinate benchmark activities on Reactor Single- and Multi-Physics. The benchmark ac...
An approach similar to the OECD/NRC Boiling Water Reactor Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Tests (BFBT) Benchmark was adopted by dividing the benchmark activity into phases.
Sodium fast reactors offer the most promising type of reactors to achieve such Generation IV goals at a reasonable time scale given the experience accumulated over the years. However, it is recognise...
