Deliverables

Documents, reports (4)

Communication, dissemination, exploitation action plan

The report describes the procedures for communication, dissemination and exploitation of results

iPWR input-deck and scenarios analyses

The report will describe the severe accident code input-decks of the two generic designs selected, the scenarios analyzed to evaluate in which conditions a severe accident may occur, and the evaluation of bottlenecks (if any) of the considered severe accident codes in modelling iPWRs.

IVMR conservative analyses

This report will describe the results of IVMR analyses for iPWR with a conservative approach.

iPWR Inventory

The report will collect an estimation of iPWR nuclide inventory for the selected designs to serve as basis for the estimation of the radiological source term in case of hypothetical severe accident.
