The NEA nuclear science programme is developed and executed by the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), comprising high-level scientific experts from all NEA member countries.

Programme for the International Workshop on Nuclear Fuel Modelling to Support Safety and Performance Enhancement for Water-Cooled Reactors, 7-9 March 2017

The continued evolution of fuel and materials technology, fuel performance, optimisation of operational limits, material ageing, failure limits, etc. requires experimental evidence obtained from test...

The expert group studies the needs associated with the transition from current to future advanced nuclear fuel cycles. 

The expert group focuses on the separations processes relevant to recycling technologies for spent nuclear fuel including waste treatment.

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 former Expert Group on Heavy Liquid Metal (HLM) Technology was active for several years and its main objective was to issue a handbook with a collection of theoretical approaches and experimental...

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 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...
