Nuclear energy is an important source of low-carbon electricity and plays a significant role in avoiding carbon emissions. It has the potential to contribute further to the decarbonisation of the wor...

Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, many countries began funding research and development on nuclear fuel designs with enhanced accident tolerance (ATFs). ATFs have i...

The Nuclear Law Bulletin is a unique international publication for both professionals and academics in the field of nuclear law. It provides readers with authoritative and comprehensive information o...

Reducing industrial carbon emissions is one of the most difficult challenges on the path to net zero by 2050 due to the magnitude of greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector and technical ...

The number of nuclear reactors approaching decommissioning, or already in the process of decommissioning, is increasing globally. Planning and performing decommissioning and dismantling activities ra...

Nuclear Energy Data is the Nuclear Energy Agency’s annual compilation of statistics and country reports documenting nuclear power status in NEA member countries and in the OECD area. Information prov...

More than ten years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, many lessons have been learnt that have helped improve preparedness for nuclear emergencies and awareness of the global r...

All credible models show that nuclear energy has an important role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts (e.g. IEA, 2021; BNEF, 2021; IIASA, 2021). Despite clear analyses from many sour...

放射性廃棄物は、医療・産業・研究・発電など幅広い活動から発生する。このような廃棄物はすべて、人の健康と環境の保護を最優先して安全に管理しなくてはならない。何十年にも及ぶ研究活動を経て、国際科学界は今では、高レベル放射性廃棄物を深地層最終処分場（DGR）に定置することが安全かつ効果的であると確信するに至っている。
各国政府は、それぞれが最良であると信じるエネルギー・環境政策を実施する絶対的な権利と責...

One of the key areas in fuel safety is the analysis of fuel behaviour under reactivity-initiated accident conditions. Reactivity-initiated accident fuel rod codes have been developed for a significan...
