Conference Papers and Journal Articles List

Most of our research work is published in the form of Halden Work Reports (HWRs), which are normally available to Halden Project members only, although exceptions can be made, and HWRs can normally be freely distributed after five years. HWRs are not listed here.

Our work is occasionally presented at conferences and in journals and this page lists such open papers and articles.
