Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, First Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties 3 to 14 November 2003, Vienna, Austria, Summary Report
Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, First Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties 3 to 14 November 2003, Vienna, Austria, Summary Report
1. The operation of nuclear reactors whether for the purposes of electricity production or research, generates spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Other activities also generate radioactive waste. The recognition by the international community of the importance of ensuring the safety of the management of spent fuel and the safety of the management of radioactive waste, led to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (Convention).

Validation of SCALE-4 for Burnup Credit Applications
Validation of SCALE-4 for Burnup Credit Applications
In the past, criticality analysis of pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel stored in racks and casks has assumed that the fuel is fresh with the maximum allowable initial enrichment. If credit is allowed for fuel burnup in the design of casks that are used in the transport of spent light water reactor fuel to a repository, the increase in payload can lead to a significant reduction in the cost of transport and a potential reduction in the risk to the public. A portion of the work has been performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in support of the U.S.

Burnup Credit - Technical Basis for Spent-Fuel Burnup Verification
Present regulatory practices provide as much burnup credit flexibility as can be currently
expected. Further progress is achievable by incorporating the negative reactivity effects of a
subset of neutron-absorbing fission-product isotopes, and by optimizing the procedural approach
for establishing the burnup characteristics of the spent fuel to be loaded in burnup-creditdesigned
storage and transportation systems. This report describes progress toward developing a

Fission Product Experiment Program: Validation and Calculational Analysis
From 1998 to 2004, a series of critical experiments referred to as the fission product (FP) experimental program was performed at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique Valduc research facility. The experiments were designed by Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) and funded by AREVA NC and IRSN within the French program supporting development of a technical basis for burnup credit validation.
