4 Context of TA2/SARNET activities The former SARNET FP6/FP7 objectives remain: Integration of efforts of European R&D organisations in identification of research priorities and defining common research programmes, Capitalizing the knowledge gained in common tools (simulation codes, experimental databases), Bringing together top scientists in severe accident research to constitute a world leadership position, Disseminating the knowledge through education and training programmes and conferences towards students and young researchers and towards new nuclear countries. ERMSAR 2017, Warsaw, May 16-18,

5 TA2/SARNET Severe accidents structure Coordination: Jean-Pierre Van Dorsselaere (IRSN) Sub-TA and leaders: 2.1 In-vessel corium/debris coolability (Alex Miassoedov, KIT) 2.2 Ex-vessel corium interactions & coolability (Pascal Piluso, CEA) 2.3 Containment behaviour incl. H 2 risk (Ivo Kljenak, JSI) 2.4 Source term, as released from NPP to the environment (Luis Herranz, CIEMAT) 2.5 Impact of severe accidents on environment and emergency management (François Bréchignac, IRSN) 2.6 Severe accident scenarios (Felice De Rosa, ENEA) Coordination of dissemination of knowledge activities: Sandro Paci (Univ. Pisa) ERMSAR 2017, Warsaw, May 16-18,

6 TA2-linked R&D projects (1/2) FP7 projects (cf. ERMSAR-2017 presentations): SAFEST (led by KIT), mid-2014 to mid-2018: Pan-European platform on corium experimental facilities, ALISA (led by KIT), mid-2014 to mid-2018 : Europe-China platform for severe accidents experiments, PASSAM (led by IRSN), end in December 2016: Passive and active systems on severe accidents source term mitigation CESAM (led by GRS), end in March 2017: ASTEC improvements for SAM simulation for the NPP types operating in Europe AIR-SFP (led by IRSN) in NUGENIA+ frame, end in Sept.2016: modelling of accidents in spent fuel pools ERMSAR 2017, Warsaw, May 16-18,

7 TA2-linked R&D projects (2/2) H2020 projects: IVMR (led by IRSN), started mid-2015: In-vessel Melt Retention, FASTNET (led by IRSN), started mid-2015: Fast-running tools for evaluation of source term in emergency situations Rejected projects at last Call: USTA (led by CIEMAT): Uncertainties in Source Term Assessments, to be submitted again at next Call SAMHYCO (led by IRSN): Towards an improvement of H2 and CO explosion risk assessment models, mitigation components and safety management procedures for severe accident late phase, to be launched as SARNET in-kind project ERMSAR 2017, Warsaw, May 16-18,

8 TA2-linked R&D projects (2/2) NUGENIA in-kind projects: CORE-SOAR (led by IRSN), mid-2016 to mid-2018: update of SOAR 1995 on in-vessel core degradation QUESA (led by GRS), under way: interpretation of SAFEST air ingress experiments IPRESCA (led by Becker Techn.), starting in June 2017: Integration of Pool scrubbing Research to Enhance Source-term Calculations SAMHYCO-NET (led by IRSN), to start in 2017: based on SAMHYCO New idea discussed at last NUGENIA Forum, waiting for expressions of interest: SA instrumentation (but search for a candidate for coordination) SARP (SA Research Priorities): Need to resume the work of the SARP group to feed the planned NUGENIA roadmap update (1 st draft before mid-2018) JRC candidate to coordinate this task through several workshops until end of 2018 (probably as a new in-kind short-duration project) ERMSAR 2017, Warsaw, May 16-18,
