Project description
Addressing safety issues related to light water small modular reactors
As nuclear technology use increases, there has been a growing focus on light water small modular reactors (LW/SMR) in recent years. However, safety challenges related to these technologies remain. The EU-funded EASI-SMR project addresses safety issues related to LW-SMR technology to support its implementation. The project aims to ensure safe reactor design, construction, and operation, with a focus on innovations such as passive systems, soluble boron-free cores, co-generation, additive manufacturing, and multi-unit operation. The project targets NUWARD SMR and LDR-50 designs and is linked with NUGENIA TA6 and the European SMR pre-partnership WS5.
Objective
The EASI-SMR project intends to address the safety issues related to the LW-SMR in order to provide advances that should support implementation of such technologies as soon as possible. The EASI SMR project activities are aimed at ensuring that these reactors will be designed, constructed, commissioned and operated in the safest possible way and in accordance with existing regulations. The consortium was carefully chosen so that the research entities can provide the necessary research teams and support facilities across the European Continent and beyond.
EASI-SMR will address the safety issues associated with major LW-SMR innovations:
• Passive systems
• Soluble Boron-free cores
• Co-generation and hybridation
• Additive manufacturing to improve compactness of Nuclear Steam Supply System
• Multi-units operation
The work aims to provide insights for European LW-SMR projects, in particular:
• NUWARD SMR, a French design of a reactor generating 170 MW of electricity production.
• LDR-50, a Finnish design of a district heating reactor of 50 MW
EASI-SMR is closely linked with NUGENIA TA6 and the European SMR pre-Partnership’s WS5.
