"FAbrication, Irradiation and Reprocessing of FUELS and targets for transmutation" (FAIRFUELS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
"FAbrication, Irradiation and Reprocessing of FUELS and targets for transmutation (FAIRFUELS) provides a way towards a more efficient use of fissile material in nuclear reactors with a view to reducing the volume and hazard of high level long-lived radioactive waste, closing the nuclear fuel cycle. In order to contribute to the competitiveness of Europe, the Collaborative Project FAIRFUELS will c ...

Simulation Platform for Non Destructive Evaluation of Structures and Materials (SIMPOSIUM)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
In all industrial sectors, Non Destructive Evaluation techniques play a critical role for ensuring structures reliability, plant safety and increasingly also for ensuring quality and efficiency of products and processes. The emerging use of numerical simulation is a major trend in the field with tremendous potential benefits in terms of costs reduction, enhanced diagnosis reliability and consequen ...

Treatment of long term irradiation embrittlement effects in RPV safety assessment (LONGLIFE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
In view of the increasing age of the European NPPs and envisaged life time extensions up to an EOL of 80 years, there is a need for an improved understanding and prediction of RPV irradiation embrittlement effects connected with long term operation (LTO). Effects caused by high neutron fluences such as the possible formation of Late Blooming Phases and as yet unknown defects must be considered ade ...

Structural integrity for lifetime management – non-RPV components (STYLE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"The overall objective of the project is to assess, optimise and develop the use of advanced tools for the structural integrity assessment of reactor coolant pressure boundary components (RCPB) relevant to ageing and life time management and to integrate the knowledge created in the project into mainstream nuclear industry assessment codes. Realistic failure models for some of the key components w ...

Prediction of the Effects of Radiation FOr reactor pressure vessel and in-core Materials using multi-scale modelling - 60 years foreseen plant lifetime (PERFORM 60)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"In nuclear power plants, materials may undergo degradation due to severe irradiation conditions that may limit their operational life. Utilities that operate these reactors need to quantify the ageing and the potential degradations of some essential structures of the power plant to ensure safe and reliable plant operation. So far, the material databases needed to take account of these degradation ...
