Support of Citizen Monitoring in Czechia has been performed for almost ten years based on the results of RAMESIS research project  “Radiation Monitoring network for institutions and schools to ensure early awareness and enhance safety of citizens”.

Although ASTM standard was finally approved and officially published in 2020, and CEN FprEN 10371:2020 is about to be published soon, the validation of the SPT method keeps going amongs laboratories over the world.

The SafeG project was recently approved for co-financing by the EC within the H2020 Euratom programme. SafeG project, coordinated by VUJE company, gathers 15 research organizations and universities from Europe and Japan. The global objective is to further develop the GFR technology and strengthen its safety by solving the open issues concerning the GFR technology and it´s demonstrator ALLEGRO.

Artificial intelligence methods are widely used in various areas of life. Even in the power engineering it is possible to solve many tasks using artificial intelligence and machine learning methods.

What happens to the diffusive properties and the porosity when cement and clay come in contact? At PSI, scientists are studying cement and clay as sealing materials in underground repositories for radioactive waste.

When a spacecraft embarks on a 30-year mission to the outer galaxy, how can we assess whether it is capable of surviving the harsh conditions it will encounter?
One possible answer is by tapping into the accumulated materials science knowledge of the nuclear industry

Public consultation on the procedure for the location, construction and operation of the National Radioactive Waste Repository and Technological Park in Italy

Calculational evolution helps in bringing together different aspects of nuclear physics, namely “nuclear reaction theory” and “reactor physics”.

Graphite bricks are used in the core of all of the UK's Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors (AGRs). Jacobs is deeply engaged in the programme of work to increase understanding of the cores’ tolerance to damage as they age.

In light of the licensing of the ALFRED demonstrator by the Romanian regulator CNCAN, ENEA, as member of the FALCON Consortium, is prepapring the relevant software tools for their qualification. A rigourous approach, based on the guidelines and best practices in place in the European context, has been followed and applied to the validation case of the subchannel code ANTEO+, used in the thermal-hydraulics analyses of the fuel assemblies

Combining IC’s capabilities for speciation analysis and the new ICP-OES for swift and reliable wastewater analysis, the PSI hotlab now offers a comprehensive set-up for routine wastewater examinations providing future autonomy from external contractors for wastewater management.

Frederic Wheeler was appointed as Head of the Regulatory Support Directorate within Jacobs in April 2020.

In the framework of the IAEA CRP (I31033) an uncertainty quantification exercise is currently under development based on test-6 of the QUENCH experimental facility and ENEA is participating. The current status of the ENEA activity is here summarized.

Monitoring chlorine cycle in environmental matrices is important to better characterize the reference state and the water cycle for the predisposal planning of radioactive waste. Methods and protocols for 36Cl  analysis in environment have to be tested in order to monitor  the performance of the radioactive waste repository.

Currently an uncertainty application exercise against the Phebus FPT1 test is in progress in the MUSA HORIZON 2020 EURATOM project. ENEA is the lead of this uncertainty exercise that it has as a main target to training the project Partners gaining experience for the nuclear power plant and spent fuel pool uncertainty application planned along the project.
