NUCLEAR REACTOR SAFETY SIMULATION PLATFORM (NURESAFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

After the 2011 disaster that occurred in Japan, improvement of nuclear safety appears more clearly as a paramount condition for further development of nuclear industry. The NURESAFE project addresses engineering aspects of nuclear safety, especially those relative to design basis accidents (DBA). Although the Japanese event was a severe accident, in a process of defense-in-depth, prevention and c ...
