The expert group conducts joint and comparative studies to support the development, selection and characterisation of innovative structural materials that can be implemented in advanced nuclear fuel ...
The NEA and IAEA jointly organised an international workshop in Vienna, Austria, on 2-6 October 2023.
The task force developed best practice guidelines by performing a benchmark study on thermo-hydraulic modelling of heavy liquid metal coolant, e.g. lead and lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloy.
The expert group monitored the feedback from version 0 of the Lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) handbook, collected, analysed and checked the consistency of expected new results from ongoing heavy liquid m...
Experts from 16 countries met on 13-15 September for the 24th annual Working Group on Fuel Safety GFS meeting in Paris.
This report presents the results of a benchmark study on innovative fuels for fast reactors using fuel performance codes. Irradiation results were shared among participants of the expert group and co...
Under the auspices of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues of Advanced Fuel Cycles (WPFC) was established to co-ordinate scientific activities related to ad...
Attitudes towards plutonium management vary from country to country and from utility to utility: some regard plutonium as a liability and others as a valuable source of energy.
The purpose of this st...
