Nuclear power can achieve the International Panel for Climate Change capacity target to curb climate change of having 1,160 GW of global nuclear generation capacity by 2050 mainly by harnessing the unrecognized potential of nuclear innovations already in the pipeline, according to a May 3 report by...

The member countries of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency are among those that were involved in the earliest developments of nuclear technology in the 1940s and 1950s. They thus have a range of plants and equipment that has now served its purpose and needs to be decommissioned and dismantled. A...
The importance of measured isotopic assay data from Post-Irradiation Examination (PIE) experiments to validate computer code predictions of spent fuel composition used in safety-related studies has long been recognized by members of the OECD/NEA/NSC/WPNCS (Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety)...
The feasibility and costs of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management and disposal of the ultimate waste continue to be the subject of public debate in many countries, with particular concerns often being raised about the lack of experience in implementing final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high...
In May 2011, the Project Review Group approved the transition of OPDE to a new, expanded "OECD-NEA Component Operational Experience, Degradation and Aging Program (CODAP)." The objective of CODAP is to collect information on passive metallic component degradation and failures of the primary ...
