TESP design and production

Thermoelectric/solar system design• Design of the TE system by loop resistance specification and TE system specification• Design of electricity generating part and pump, and stress analysis in relation with WP1Design, production and testing of TESP• Building of a mock-up of the TE system• Implementation of commissioning and performing tests

Grid requirements

List of requirements for the flexible SMR-SFR in view of EU2050 and possible critical scenarios (taking into account different factors: energy policies of EU countries, share of renewable energies, fleet of electrical cars, status of energy storage systems, fusion power plants…)

Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan will outline the conditions for data preservation, adherence to FAIR principles, publication, and clearly make a distinction between potentially sensitive or confidential information and open access data.

Compilation of computational benchmarks

A compilation of computational benchmarks will be selected by the project experts and adapted specifically for training purposes, focusing on skills and best practices of modelling SFRs. These will include: neutronics core modelling and transient, multi-physics simulation of entire primary system loop.

Evaluation results of core catcher innovation measures

• Characterisation of heat transfer• Proposal of innovative concepts or measures to be tested in subtasks 6.2.2 and 6.2.3.

Project Quality Plan and online workspace

report on Definition and justification of the choices for the following work on bubble detection (choice of artificial intelligence method and definition of the experimental conditions).

Report on CIBD and ROFEX experiments for gas bubbles in sodium

A CIBD system is to be designed and tested for this case. The CIBD measurements will be compared with the measurements obtained from US and ECFM sensors available at HZDR which, however, provide also no full measurement of the gas bubbles. The ultrafast electron beam X-ray tomography scanner ROFEX has been developed at HZDR. It provides thousands of frames per second and a spatial resolution of less than 1 mm. Here it will be applied to gas bubbles in liquid sodium. By variation of the gas injection parameters, interesting comparisons between the full bubble measurements by ROFEX and the more integral CIBD measurements will be done

ESFR metallic fuel study: safety approach

-PLOF, i.e., primary pumps shutdown with scram- PSBO, i.e., all pumps shutdown with scram- Review of the results

Gender Action Plan

Gender Action Plan defining concrete actions and tools to systematically integrate the gender perspective in all WPs.

ESFR metallic fuel study: fuel and core designs

- Review and update of safety objectives.- Select fuel type and make specification of the material properties including reference models for swelling, creep, fission gas release, etc.- Design new fuel rod, new fuel assembly and new core

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Communication strategy and website

Project website will be developed and routinely updated with latest project achievements and announcements of events and other activities.
