Collected sources of primary documentation for reactor physics benchmarks.

The International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation (IRPhE) Technical Review Group provides the nuclear community with qualified benchmark data sets by collecting reactor physics experimental dat...

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...

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...

Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFR) are rather new concepts which have gathered increasing international attention after the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF) selected them as promising candidates ...

The Liquid Metal Fast Reactor (LFMR) is one of the next generation reactor designs. This benchmark consists of steady-state numerical predictions of Texas A&M University (TAMU) separate effect tests ...

Building on the OECD-NEA BFBT and PSBT benchmarks, McMaster University, in collaboration with North Carolina State University, launched a CANDU thermal-hydraulic benchmark under the WPRS Expert Group...

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...

Multiphysics are simulations using computer applications or software to couple multiple physical events in order to predict or validate the physical real-world outcome.

Neutron noise analysis can be defined as the direct measurement of the kinetics of a nuclear core. This page describes some of the NEA's previous activities on neutron noise analysis in nuclear power...

Refined models for best-estimate calculations based on good-quality experimental data can improve the understanding of phenomena and the quantification of margins for operating nuclear power reactors...

This report provides the specification for the uncertainty exercises of the international OECD/NEA, NRC and NUPEC BFBT benchmark problem including the elemental task. The specification was prepared j...

In the past decade, a large amount of effort has been made towards the direct simulation of the boiling transition (BT) for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel bundles. This international benchmark, bas...
