In response to increasing interest in high-temperature, gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) and the need for improved knowledge of materials for nuclear applications that resist high temperatures, the NEA or...

The OECD/NEA Task Force on Computing Radiation Dose and Modelling of Radiation-Induced Degradation of Reactor Components (TFRDD) launched two international blind intercomparison exercises to examine ...

Attitudes towards plutonium management vary from country to country and from utility to utility: some regard plutonium as a liability and others as a valuable source of energy.

The purpose of this st...

In the field of coupled neutronics/thermal-hydraulics computation there is a need to enhance scientific knowledge in order to develop advanced modelling techniques for new nuclear technologies and co...

Studies on fast reactors have historically concentrated on their capability to use plutonium produced in thermal reactors as initial fuel, and subsequently their capacity to produce electricity while...
