Recent IAEA international cooperation programmes on nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics and safety CHOI Jong-Ho Division of Nuclear Power, International Atomic Energy Agency, Wagrammer Strasse 5, P.O. Box 100, 1400 Vienna, Austria (J.H.Choi@iaea.org)   Abstract:The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the world’s center of cooperation in the nuclear field. The IAEA works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies. To catalyse innovation in nuclear power technology in Member States, the IAEA coordinates cooperative research, promotes information exchange, and analyses technical data and results, with a focus on reducing capital costs and construction periods while further improving performance, safety and proliferation resistance. This paper summarizes the recent major IAEA international cooperation programmes related to thermal hydraulics and safety of water cooled reactors, which is the most common type of reactor design at present and will probably still be in the near future.   Keyword:computer code; coordinated research project (CRP); international collaborative standard problem (ICSP);nuclear reactor; safety; simulator; thermal-hydraulics
