The Preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory (RK&M) Across Generations initiative was launched by the Nuclear Energy Agency in 2011 to foster international reflection and progress towards this g...

The implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and the application of its "flexible mechanisms" are at the forefront of energy policy debates in most OECD countries. The potential role of nuclear energy in...

La mise en oeuvre du Protocole de Kyoto et l'application de ses mécanismes de flexibilité sont au premier plan des débats de politique énergétique dans la plupart des pays de l'OCDE. Le rôle que l'én...

This report reviews how some of the innovative nuclear-fission technologies being developed today attempt to address the challenges facing nuclear energy. It suggests some areas for collaborative res...

Techniquement, les réacteurs nucléaires de fission, qu’ils soient en service ou en cours de construction, peuvent fournir des produits autres que l’électricité. Cependant, alors que les applications ...

Technically, nuclear fission reactors in operation or being built can supply non-electricity products. However, while non-electrical applications have been considered since the very beginning of nucl...

Seismic probabilistic safety assessment (SPSA) is a systematic method for examining and evaluating the risk from earthquake-initiated accidents. The significant advances in the area of SPSA since the...

The diversity in classification schemes across countries has restricted the possibility of comparing waste inventories and led to difficulties in interpreting waste management practices, both nationa...

Radioactive waste inventory data are an important element in the development of a national radioactive waste management programme since these data affect the design and selection of the ultimate disp...

Major nuclear safety research facilities and programmes are facing increasing budgetary constraints, and in many cases are being closed or terminated. This report identifies major facilities of vital...

Understanding the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is important for safe and timely decommissioning of the reactors. This objective, together with the development of better compu...

This report outlines the response of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its member countries to the March 2011 accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. All NEA members took ea...

Much has been learnt in the ten years since the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, but significant challenges still remain.

This ...

Under the Paris Agreement, OECD countries agreed to aim for a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions sufficient to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre...

• Post-pandemic recovery plans to reconcile climate objectives with economic goals need to put system costs at the heart of energy policy.
• Moving to a carbon neutral electricity system without nuclear...
