Electronic version of publications timed to the 25-th anniversary of the computer codes certification is available

Electronic version of publications dedicated to the 25-th anniversary of computer codes certification used in nuclear facilities safety demonstration is available. These publications summed up the outcomes from 25 years of work of Rostechnadzor Council for computer codes certification; issues related to computer codes verification are discussed. These publications also include studies dedicated to formation of computer codes certification system.
