The number of ageing nuclear power plants (NPPs) is increasing in NEA member countries. Accordingly, maintenance programmes, in-service inspection and testing of structures, systems and components im...

One of the major conclusions of this workshop was that simulation of electrical systems has not been adequately discussed at the international level despite the fact that it is used more and more fre...

This is a summary report by the Hydrogen Mitigation Experiments for Reactor Safety (HYMERES) project on the PANDA and MISTRA experiments.

Phase 1 of the Project, between 2013 and 2016, focused on imp...

The Material Scaling (MASCA) Project investigated in-vessel phenomena during a severe accident. In particular, it addressed the influence of the chemical composition of the molten corium on the heat ...

The focus of the Material Scaling (MASCA) Project was to investigate in detail the chemical behaviour of corium in contact with structural materials, with emphasis mainly on steel. This report provid...

At its annual meeting in December 1999, the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) issued a recommendation to set up an international collaborative project in the field of thermal-hy...

The Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) workshop on “Seismic Input Motions Incorporating Recent Geological Studies” was held in Tsukuba, Japan on 15-17 November 2004, and was host...

The Third International Conference on Fatigue of Reactor Components held in Seville, Spain on 3-6 October 2004 was co-organised by the EPRI, the US NRC and the OECD NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuc...

In the face of severe accident scenarios with melted core material, such as those that occurred at Three Mile Island-2 in 1979 and at Fukushima Daiichi in 2011, the integrity assessment of primary ci...
