The Water Reactor Fuel Performance Meeting (WRFPM) held in Asia has merged with TopFuel in Europe and LWR Fuel Performance in the United States to form the globally most influential conference in the field of nuclear fuel research. WRFPM2023 is organized by Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS) in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ), Korean Nuclear Society (KNS), European Nuclear Society (ENS), American Nuclear Society (ANS), the Interna-tional Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with the support from China Nuclear Energy In¬dustry Corporation (CNEIC) and TVEL. Conference Topics: 1. Advances in water reactor fuel technology and testing 2. Operation and experience 3. Transient and off-normal fuel behaviour and safety related issues 4. Fuel cycle, used fuel storage and transportation 5. Innovative fuel and related issues 6. Fuel modelling, analysis and methodology

The purpose of this report is to provide a combined presentation of the worldwide experience gained on fuel failures in water cooled reactors and to give statistical data on fuel failures for the period 1987 to 1994. It contains detailed descriptions of primary and secondary failure mechanisms which occurred in 'western' type boiling and pressurized water reactors (BWRs and PWRs), Soviet type pressurized light water reactors (WWERs) and Canadian type heavy water reactors (CANDUs). It also includes information on detection, examination and analysis of fuel failures as well as on fuel failure prevention and management in plant operation.

Since the 1970s, the IAEA has been involved in the analysis of fuel failures in water cooled reactors in normal (non-accident) operational conditions. This updated version of IAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NF-T-2.1 provides information on all aspects of fuel failures in current nuclear power plant operations.

"Based on a recommendation from the Technical Working Group on Fast Reactors, this publication is a regular update of previous publications on fast reactor technology. The publication provides comprehensive and detailed information on the technology of fast neutron reactors. The focus is on practical issues that are useful to engineers, scientists, managers, university students and professors. The main issues of discussion are experience in design, construction, operation and decommissioning, various areas of research and development, engineering, safety and national strategies, and public acceptance of fast reactors. In the summary the reader will find national strategies, international initiatives on innovative (i.e. Generation IV) systems and an assessment of public acceptance as related to fast reactors."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
