About the project
In-Vessel Melt Retention Severe Accident Management Strategy for Existing and Future NPPs
The objectives of the EU-IVMR project are:
- Review existing approach for in-vessel retention
- Improve in-vessel retention strategies by providing new experimental data and justifying less conservative assumptions
- Extend the strategies to various designs
- Investigate possible innovations for in-vessel retention
The project is coordinated by Florian Fichot (IRSN) and consists of 34 international partners.
KTH is one of the leading partners with the task to build 2 new facilities, and involved in computational work as well as in education.
These 2 new facilities are SIMECO-2 and SPAYCOR .
