The NEA is organising the 16^th Information Exchange Meeting on Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning and Transmutation (16IEMPT) on 26-30 June 2022. The meeting will be held in Saint Petersburg, ...

For nuclear utility companies that opt to reprocess spent fuel, recycle it or do both, one of the main pertinent issues is plutonium recycling.

The NEA launched the Nuclear Education, Skills and Technology (NEST) Framework in partnership with its member countries to help address important gaps in nuclear skills capacity building, knowledge t...

Neutron noise analysis can be defined as the direct measurement of the kinetics of a nuclear core. This page describes some of the NEA's previous activities on neutron noise analysis in nuclear power...

The overall objective of the VVER-1000 Coolant Transient (V1000CT) Benchmark was to assess computer codes used in the safety analysis of water-water energetic reactor (VVER) power plants, specificall...

This benchmark incorporated full 3-D modelling of the reactor core into system transient codes for best-estimate simulations of the interactions between reactor core behaviour and plant dynamics and ...

An approach similar to the OECD/NRC Boiling Water Reactor Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Tests (BFBT) Benchmark was adopted by dividing the benchmark activity into phases.

The international benchmark concerned pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR) coupled neutronics/thermal-hydraulics transients based on the PBMR-400MW design.

The Boiling Water Reactor Turbine Trip (BWRTT) Benchmark was established to challenge the coupled system thermal-hydraulic/neutron kinetics codes against a Peach-Bottom-2 (a GE-designed BWR/4) turbin...
