Approximately 30 experts from WGAMA discussed how to advance the understanding of phenomena in pool in the situation of a loss of cooling accident.
Cabri Reactor (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives)
The Cabri International Project (CIP) began in March 2000 to study the behaviour of nuclear fuel rods and cladding durin...
The Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) is responsible for NEA programmes and activities that support maintaining and advancing the scientific and technical knowledge base of the ...
The Programme Review Group is established to perform a programme quality review function within the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) and to provide scientific assistance to the...
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...
Experts from 16 countries met on 13-15 September for the 24th annual Working Group on Fuel Safety GFS meeting in Paris.
The fourth FACE meeting brought together experts to Cologne, Germany.
The FIDES-II framework is designed to do more than just produce data on transient fuel behavior and safety related issues.
The fuel for a nuclear reactor is both the source of the fission energy that is used to produce electricity and the source of radioactive material during an accident.
The Halden Reactor Project has been in operation at the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway since 1958 and is the oldest NEA joint project. It brings together a large international techni...
The main objective of the first phase of the Hydro...
The overall objective of the international OECD programme SERENA is to obtain convergence on the understanding of fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) processes and energetics, as well as on method(s) for ...
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) Working Group on Fuel Cycle Safety (WGFCS) held an international workshop on Operational and Regulatory As...
Members of FIDES-II from 12 countries assembled in Prague, Czech Republic, on 17-21 April 2023 for meetings of its Technical Advisory Group and Governing Board.
FIDES-II member assembled at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in Mito, Japan.
In 1986, a working group of the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations issued a state-of-the-art report on water reactor fuel behaviour in design-basis accident (DBA) conditions. The re...
A set of fuel-related safety criteria was presented – along with both the rationale for having such criteria and possible new design and operational issues which could have an effect on them – in the...
PAKS Nuclear Power Plant, Hungary.
During a fuel crud removal operation on the Paks-2 unit on 10 April 2003, several fuel assemblies were severely damaged. The assemblies were being cleaned in a sp...
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...
This document is intended to provide regulators, their technical support organisations and industry with a concise review of existing fuel experimental data at reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) and...
