Under the guidance of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Expert Group on Improvement of Integral Experiments Data for Minor Actinide Management (EGIEMAM-II) was established to recommend nec...

Heavy liquid metals such as lead or lead-bismuth have been proposed and investigated as coolants for fast reactors since the 1950s. More recently, there has been renewed interest worldwide in the use...

Under the guidance of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance,...

Knowledge of basic nuclear physics data is essential for the modelling and safe operation of all types of nuclear facilities. The de facto international standard format, Evaluated Nuclear Data File 6...

The Task Force on Dose Rate Calculations for Irradiated Fuel Assembly was launched in 2015 to assess code predictions of dose rates from bare spent fuel assemblies and to benchmark multiple codes and...
