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 ...

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...

This publication provides an introduction to minor actinide nuclear properties and discusses some of the arguments in favour of minor actinide recycling, as well as the potential role of thermal reac...

Average fuel burn-up in light water reactors (LWRs) has steadily increased with time as technological advances have been made. The practical limit is currently in the region of 50 GWd/t. The main dri...

Questions relating to the space, time end energy distribution of neutrons and radiation in different media are the domain of reactor physics.

NEA Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) annual meeting, 19-21 February 2020.

The Subgroup on Uncertainty Analysis in Modelling (UAM) for Design, Operation and Safety Analysis of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR-UAM) was formed to check the use of best-estimate codes and data....

This benchmark was a continuation of the V1000CT activities and defined a coupled code problem for further validation of thermal-hydraulics system codes for application with Russian-designed VVER-100...

Understanding fuel performance is a key condition for successful reactor operation. Scientific knowledge in this domain was conceived by experimental tests encoded into software routines to ensure ac...

International Fuel Performance Experiments (IFPE) is the public domain database on nuclear fuel performance experiments for the purpose of code development and validation.

The Benchmark for Uncertainty Analysis in Best-Estimate Modelling (UAM) for Design, Operation and Safety Analysis of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) is an international high-visibility benchmark for unce...

Conditions for release, rules and restrictions applying to the Kalinin Unit 3 (Kalinin-3) Transient Benchmark caused by the switching-off of one of the four operating main circulation pumps (MCPs) at...
