Ecosystem

HARMONISE utilizes the accomplishments achieved by current as well as earlier research and cooperation activities in standardisation and nuclear safety while also taking under consideration the results of the EU stress tests. The HARMONISE partners have identified a number of Euratom-funded projects whose objectives relate to standardisation, licensing as well as nuclear safety.

To this end, HARMONISE organized in cooperation with the ECC-Smart project and support from the ELSMOR and McSAFER projects a “Workshop on the Safety of Small Modular, Advanced and Fusion Reactors”. During the two day event, the workshop participants conversed about the issues involved in developing safety cases of future nuclear facilities.

Joint European Canadian Chinese development of Small Modular Reactor Technology

ECC-SMART is oriented towards assessing the feasibility and identification of safety features of an intrinsically and passively safe small modular reactor cooled by supercritical water (SCW-SMR), taking into account specific knowledge gaps related to the future licensing process and implementation of this technology.

Towards European Licensing of Small Modular Reactors

ELSMOR is primarily focused on developing systematic methods for the safety assurance of new and innovative reactors. The project also aims to demonstrate that European experimental infrastructures and modelling tools are ready for use in the assurance of safety of SMRs with passive safety systems.

High-Performance Advanced Methods and Experimental Investigations for the Safety Evaluation of Generic Small Modular Reactors

The main objective of McSAFER is the advancement of the safety research for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) by combining safety-relevant thermal hydraulic experiments and numerical simulations of different approaches for safety evaluations. The experiments will be performed on existing European thermal hydraulic test facilities.
