The NEA has issued a report on
The
Use of International Operating Experience Feedback for Improving
Nuclear Safety. This report reviews existing international
operating experience feedback (OEF) processes and networks, their
connections with national OEF systems and provides recommendations
for more effective use of international OEF to improve nuclear
safety.
The NEA has also issued a report on
Collection and Analysis of Common-cause Failures of Switching
Devices and Circuit Breakers. This report documents a study
performed as part of the international common-cause data exchange (ICDE)
project. The ICDE project is the only international effort where
large amounts of common-cause data from different NEA member
countries are collected and analysed. More information is available
at

The Fourth NEA Workshop on Advanced Reactors with Innovative Fuels (ARWIF
2008) was held on 20-22 February 2008 in Tsuruga and Fukui, Japan.
During the opening session it was announced that the October 2008
restart of the Monju nuclear reactor had been officially approved.
Workshop participants took part in discussions of reactor physics,
nuclear fuel performance and material technology, reactor core
behaviour and the fuel cycle of advanced reactors with different
types of fuels or fuel lattices. Of particular interest to workshop
participants were innovative concepts and issues for nuclear
reactors and their fuel, especially fast reactors. More information
is available at

Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project
The fourth phase of the Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project began
on 1 February 2008. The initial focus during this phase of the
project will be to finalise reviews of chemical thermodynamic data
for inorganic compounds and complexes of thorium, iron and tin.
Overall, the fourth phase of the TDB project will concentrate on:
- performing complementary studies of inorganic species and
compounds of iron;
- assessing auxiliary data;
- updating a selected value database developed during the first
three phases of the project; and
- reviewing inorganic species and compounds of molybdenum.
More information on the TDB Project is available at
www.nea.fr/html/dbtdb/.

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. It is a non-partisan,
unbiased source of information, data and analyses, drawing on one of
the best international networks of technical experts.
