    Description
    I present a formalism that allows one to incorporate the NLO QCD corrections to a given hard process, into parton shower simulations. The formalism handles the soft and collinear emission as the MC does, and the hard emission as in NLO computation. Its results are thus meaningful in the whole phase space, and normalized to the NLO total rate. I present results of phenomenological relevance, for the case of W+W- production in hadronic collisions, obtained with the first release of a HERWIG code accurate to NLO.
