MULTISCALE MODELLING FOR FUSION AND FISSION MATERIALS

Project description

Boosting collaboration in nuclear fission and fusion research

The sustainability of nuclear energy relies on the deployment of Generation IV (GenIV) fission systems and thermonuclear fusion. Both GenIV fission and fusion technologies expose materials to high temperatures and irradiation levels, creating common material challenges. The EU-funded M4F project aims to promote collaboration between researchers engaged in nuclear fission and fusion material modelling and characterisation. The project will focus on ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels, which have excellent radiation-induced swelling resistance and thermal properties but also pose certain challenges. M4F’s goals include developing predictive models for microstructure evolution and deformation under irradiation in F/M steels, as well as developing a methodology to use ion irradiation to assess radiation effects on materials.

Objective

The main goal of M4F project is to bring together the fusion and fission materials communities working on the prediction of microstructural-induced irradiation damage and deformation mechanisms of irradiated ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels. M4F project is a multidisciplinary one, were both modeling and experiments at different scales will be integrated to foster the understanding of complex phenomena associated to the formation and evolution of irradiation induced defects and their role on the deformation behavior. In addition, an attempt to reduce the gap between the materials science activities as model and experiments, and the needed inputs on design codes will be included

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
