HARMONISE is a three-year HORIZON-EURATOM project that will be developed through six work packages interacting in accordance to the following flowchart.
HARMONISE is a three-year HORIZON-EURATOM project that will be developed through six work packages interacting in accordance to the following flowchart.
Establish interactions with stakeholders – Assess current applications of the IAEA safety objectives – Assess existing safety cases for large fusion facilities
Retrieve specific safety-related needs – Identify common safety principles and bases – Evaluate the challenges for the harmonisation of the different frameworks – Propose recommendations for a common approach
Define a concept for establishing a Risk-Informed Performance-Based regulatory infrastructure to support the licensing of advanced NPP technologies
Identify gaps and improvement areas of licensing procedures – Obtain knowledge from other industries – Examine transferring to the nuclear field licensing procedures – Identify options for accelerating licensing procedures – Propose a roadmap for optimization and harmonisation
Prepare comprehensive dissemination, exploitation & communication plans - Create & raise awareness about the project’s vision - Attract potential supporters, help foster acceptance of the project’s outcomes - Encourage action and system adaptation
WP1 Leader - JSI
Stakeholder Involvement
Establishing interactions with stakeholders
Assessing current applications of the IAEA safety objectives
Assessing existing safety cases for large fusion facilities
WP2 Leader - ENEA
Licensing needs of innovative nuclear power plants
To retrieve the specific safety-related needs associated with the reactor technologies that will power innovative plants
To identify common safety principles and bases as collected from different national regulatory frameworks
To evaluate the challenges for the harmonisation of the different frameworks and the gaps for their translation to future technologies
To propose recommendations for a common approach for the evolution of current licensing processes towards a harmonised one in the future
WP3 Leader – BEL V
Concept of a Technology-Inclusive RIPB Regulatory Framework
Reviewing the utilization of risk insights along with the application of performance-based requirements in the current regulatory process
Reviewing the activities introducing RIPB approaches into a regulatory framework
Developing a technology-inclusive, RIPB approach
WP4 Leader - CEA
Codes and standards needs of innovative nuclear power plants
Identification of gaps and areas of improvement of licensing procedures and qualification with special emphasis on codes and standards for mechanical components and materials
Knowledge by other industrial sectors how new digital technologies are used and taken into account
Investigations of the possibilities to transfer to the nuclear field licensing procedures successfully developed to integrate new digital technologies
Assessment of different options and identification of the promising ones to accelerate and improve the reliability of license procedures and qualification of innovative nuclear reactors through codes and standards
Proposal of a roadmap for optimization and harmonisation of codes and standards
WP5 Leader - NCSR "D"
Dissemination, exploitation, and communication
To prepare comprehensive dissemination, exploitation and communication plans, including the dissemination and communication material, as well as the set up and maintenance of the respective channels
To create and raise awareness about the project’s vision through electronic and non-electronic means, as well as through interactive and non-interactive activities
To attract potential supporters, help foster acceptance of the project’s outcomes in a positively-inclined community
To encourage action and system adaptation, preparing the ground for exploitation activities
WP6 Leader – LEI
Project management
To monitor the different coordination activities in WP1 up to WP5 and to cover the global administrative management of the project
To assure the coordination and management of the consortium, over and above the technical management of the WPs
To assess and mitigate any potential or identified risks to the project
Establishment and implementation of project activity plans and reporting structures, ensuring timely delivery of expected results
Establishment of an effective project management structure incorporating the management of the work package teams and the Tasks
Creation of an effective project management framework, maintain overall consortium communication
Set up and management of the financial accounting records
This project has received funding from the European Commission-Euratom under Grant Agreement No 101061643.
