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...

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 report documents the proceedings of the Workshop on Pellet-Cladding Interaction (PCI) in Water-Cooled Reactors held in Lucca, Italy on 22-24 June 2016. The workshop was organised jointly by the ...

Since the time of the first LOCA experiments, which were largely conducted with fresh fuel, changes in the fuel design, the introduction of new cladding materials and in particular the move to high b...

Reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) fuel rod codes have been developed for a significant period of time and validated against their own available database. However, the high complexity of the scenari...

Spent fuel pools (SFPs) are large accident-hardened structures that are used to temporarily store irradiated nuclear fuel. Due to the robustness of the structures, SFP severe accidents have long been...

The impact of leaking fuel rods on the operation of nuclear power plants and the practices of handling leaking fuel has been reviewed by the CSNI Working Group on Fuel Safety (WGFS) in order to promo...
