Under the guidance of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS), the Expert Group on Physics of Reactor Systems (EGPRS) will perform specific tasks associated with neutronics, radiation transport, reactor physics and nuclear fuel feedback along with uncertainty analysis of present and future nuclear power systems. The considered reactor systems that will be studied include but are not limited to:
The objective of the EGPRS is to provide expert advice to the WPRS and the nuclear/accelerator community on the development needs (data and methods, validation experiments, scenario studies) for neutronics and fuel feedback issues of different reactor systems.
The fulfilment of this objective notably entails providing specific technical information on:
This technical information will generally be derived from a combination of direct experimental evidence and/or the results of theoretical benchmark analyses using accurate, validated modelling and simulation (M&S) methods. In either case, the availability of suitable experimental data is a fundamental requirement. The EGPRS will monitor gaps and steer development of the International Radiation Shielding Experiments Database (SINBAD) in collaboration with the United States’ Radiation Safety Information Computational Centre (RSICC).
