Generation IV International Forum (GIF)
|
|
The NEA serves as Technical Secretariat to the GIF, which has this month
published its 2008 Annual Report. This second annual report issued by
the GIF provides an update on the GIF organisation, membership and
participation in R&D projects for each Generation IV system. It
summarises the development milestones for each system and the R&D
progress towards their realisation. It also includes a brief description
of co-operation between the GIF and other international endeavours for
the development of nuclear energy.

Radioactive waste management
|
|
The 42nd session of the NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC)
took place in Paris on 25-27 March 2009. The topical session included a
discussion on qualified human resources and led to a decision to
elaborate on the specificities and profile of professions in radioactive
waste management. The Committee also agreed on a vision and strategic
reference for its role and activities concerning knowledge consolidation
and transfer (KCT).
Current R&D needs of regulatory organisations were discussed by the RWMC
regulators, who also met separately on 24 March.
The Committee welcomed the offer by the Government of Japan to host the
fourth international conference on geological repositories for
radioactive waste. The conference aims to take stock of worldwide
political and strategic developments in the field of geological disposal
of radioactive waste, to exchange views and to engage in dialogue aimed
at clarifying the issues and, in this way, to assist national
representatives in finding and refining social and political ways
forward that are most appropriate to their own particular national
conditions. The conference, which is being organised in co-operation
with theInternational
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),is scheduled to take place in Japan
in 2011 and will bring together high-level governmental and regulatory
decision makers.

The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion File (JEFF) 3.1.1 library, an
updated version of the incident neutron file and the fission yields
libraries, has been completed. It can be found at
this link. Improvements to this latest version of the JEFF3.1.1
General Purpose Library are particularly noteworthy as they pertain to
light water reactor applications and the associated fuel cycle. The
documentation associated with this library has been published in draft
form as the
JEFF 22 report. A processed version of the library is also available
in various formats for a wide range of applications.
The NEA will collaborate with the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique
(CEA) in the organisation of the 2nd International Workshop on Nuclear
Data Evaluation for Reactor Applications, WONDER 2009, to be held in
Cadarache, France from 29 September to 2 October 2009. Further
information is
available here.
The NEA, in association with the IAEA, is co-organising a technical
meeting on Specific Applications of Research Reactors: Provision of
Nuclear Data, to be held in Vienna, Austria on 12-16 October 2009. More
details regarding the meeting can be
found here.

About the NEA
NEA membership consists of 28 OECD countries. The mission of the NEA is
to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing,
through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and
legal bases required for a safe, environmentally friendly and economical
use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The NEA also provides
authoritative assessments and forges common understandings on key issues,
as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader
OECD policy analyses in areas such as energy and sustainable development.
The information, data and analyses it provides draw on one of the best
international networks of technical experts.
