This report was written by members of the Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) of the NEA, and the members of the metal subgroup were responsible for developing...

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,...

Due to the potential safety significance of HEAF events the NEA initiated a project to provide an in-depth investigation on such events in NEA member states. The general objective of the study was to...

This Joint Strategic Plan for the Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) and the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) takes into account the evolving status of the nucle...

The Operating Plan describes CSNI responsibility and organisation, overall scope of work and working methods, and is supplemented by the so-called CSNI Activity Report, which contains a description o...

In 1998, the Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) issued a report on future nuclear regulatory challenges which discussed the potential erosion of safety margins as an area for further r...

The OECD/NEA-Vattenfall T-Junction Benchmark was initiated to test the ability of state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes to predict the important parameters affecting high-cycle th...

Two subjects – stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and degradation of cable insulation – were selected as the focus of the SCC and Cable Ageing Project (SCAP) due to their relevance for plant ageing asse...

All credible models show that nuclear energy has an important role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts (e.g. IEA, 2021; BNEF, 2021; IIASA, 2021). Despite clear analyses from many sour...
