The 2003-2004 activity of Reactor Integral Test WG under Subcommittee on Reactor Constants of Japanese Nuclear Data Committee will be presented. During this period, the WG carried out integral tests of JENDL-3.3, ENDF/B-VI and JEFF 3.0 for reactor applications. Some results of integral tests for other latest libraries, JEFF-3.1, ENDF/B-VII, etc. will be also presented. Nuclear Data Library in D...

General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Head of the Department of Nuclear Energy. Since 1988 he has been active in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), firstly, as a member of the ITER Managing Committee and later as the Russian representative on many ITER-related inter-governmental boards. In 1996, he was appointed Head of the Department of Science ...

The periodic or non-periodic test and maintenance activities in nuclear power plants (NPPs) are essential for stable power production and the sustainment of the plant safety. However, due to NPP system complexity and human limitation in cognition and action, these activities may also have the potential to induce unwanted and unanticipated reactor trip events and may render critical systems unav...

The Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1) is the nation’s first nuclear reactor and it is sited at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. It is a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) that attained criticality on February 03, 2004 and was licensed to operate at a maximum power of 31 kW three days a week in June 01, 2004. This presentation enumerate...

With the increasing deterioration of world water resources, configuring a technical and economic viable wastewater treatment and recycle technology to satisfying the increasing complexity of wastewater and stringent environmental regulation has been a great challenge over the past decades. Developing reliable technologies for wastewater treatment is of urgent importance. In recent years, anaero...

The flux and the spectrum of reactor antineutrinos depend not only on the current reactor state, which is specified by the power level and the isotope composition of the nuclear fuel used, but also on the preceding evolution of the fuel. The spectrum of antineutrinos produced in the beta decay of fission products and other radioactive nuclei accumulated in the reactor core begin to evolve towar...

India is building a 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, which is scheduled to be operational by 2010. India has refused to accept international safeguards on this facility, raising concerns that the plutonium produced in its uranium blankets might be used to make nuclear weapons. Based on neutronics calculations for a detailed threedimensional model of the reactor, we estimate that up to 14...

A reliable and validated nuclear database is required for the design of a fusion reactor. Neutrons produced by the fusion reactions between deuterium and tritium have a very peaked energy spectrum at 14 MeV, requiring a substantial extrapolation with respect to the database made available from fission studies. The correct evaluation of shielding properties, damage, nuclear heating and of tritiu...
