Virtual mission to Japan

As the NEA continues to adapt to the new way of working, "virtual missions" are being organised with member countries and key partners.

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...

À l’heure actuelle, on observe une variabilité considérable dans le format, le contenu et les pratiques d’estimation des coûts, que ce soit à l’intérieur d’un même pays ou lorsque l’on franchit les f...

Pratiquement toutes les réglementations et tous les standards de protection radiologique nationaux et internationaux sont fondés sur les recommandations publiées par la Commission internationale de p...

Le problème clé dans le démantèlement des installations nucléaires est l’élimination progressive des risques, au moyen d’une série d’actions de décontamination et de déconstruction qui doivent être r...

The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion (JEFF) Project is a collaborative effort among OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank member countries to develop a reference nuclear data library for use i...
