AbstractAbstract
[en] Full text of publication follows. Spent nuclear fuel characterization (SNFC) is a complex process that covers different areas of analysis and whose final goal is to provide an accurate description of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) status for its future classification for storage and transport. The need to reduce the SNFC processing time maintaining the quality of the product has motivated ENUSA to research and implement Agile project management and human performance techniques. The Agile management techniques are focused in accommodate changes or new requirements in the project during the elaboration process without suffering delays or lose of quality. For its SNF projects ENUSA uses 2 complementary techniques: SCRUM and Kanban. SCRUM methodology is based on divide the process into activities blocks. Each block is a finished part of the final product which allows periodical deliveries of the product and the easy introduction of changes if they are necessary. The characterization process is formed by blocks of activities based on different analysis for every fuel assembly as the existence of leaking rods; the analysis of the structural integrity considering the existence of missing rods, broken or missing grids or grid straps or grid springs...; the corrosion phenomenon on the rod that could affect its integrity during the storage and transport; the burnup of the fuel assembly; the analysis of the rod internal pressure and its effect on rod failure mechanism as creep or on the material embrittlement due to the radial hydride precipitation; the compatibility with the container to avoid operational problems during cask loading and unloading, and any new input based on the regulatory evolution and the industry state of the art. The different analysis can be developed at the same time as they are independent. Kanban methodology consists in a visual representation of the evolution of the process. In a chart, the different activities needed to perform any of the analysis indicated before are represented by cards and are developed consecutively, as in a production line. ENUSA Spent Nuclear Fuel Group has achieved to become a multidisciplinary independent experts team, whose members can exchange their roles if it is necessary to avoid delays on the final product. Additionally, human performance tools has been implemented creating a solid framework based in the incorporation of lessons learned in previous projects. Therefore, the SNFC process has been optimized due to the success of the implementation of agile project management and human performance techniques. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The European Nuclear Young Generation Forum (ENYGF) is the event organised every 2 years within the European Nuclear Society - Young Generation Network (ENS-YGN) for European young professionals and students. It consists in 3 days of conferences (plenary sessions, workshops, panel sessions, technical and poster session), 1 day of technical tours and 1 day of cultural visits. ENYGF 2015 is dedicated to the dual aspect of the relationship between nuclear power and environment: the impact of nuclear activities on the environment and the contribution of nuclear energy to fight climate change. A great deal of this document is composed of the slides of the presentations
