Project description
Pushing the bar on nuclear reactor safety
Nuclear energy is a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels and can play a vital role in the transition to climate neutrality, a key element in meeting the goals of the European Green Deal. However, future nuclear reactors can only be integrated into the European energy system once their safety and ability to meet social needs are demonstrated. This is where the EU-funded ESFR-SIMPLE project steps in. It aims to improve the safety of the current European Sodium Fast Reactor design and economics via innovative technologies, in line with the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative roadmap.
