Passive Isolation Condenser

Project description

A completely passive isolation condenser system

The new generations of fission nuclear reactors are facing the challenges of sustainability and safety. There’s a need for scientists to provide technological solutions that are reliable and efficient. In this context, the EU-funded PIACE project is developing an innovative decay heat removal system for nuclear reactors. This system is based on an isolation condenser with non-condensable gases. The aim is to manage the variable decay heat in a passive manner. As such, PIACE’s innovative concept is designed to be completely passive and to be flexible enough to adapt to both liquid metal and water-cooled reactors.

Objective

PIACE has the main objective to support the technology transfer from the research to industry in the area of safety of nuclear installations. An Innovative Decay Heat Removal System for nuclear reactors, presently under technology validation in relevant environment (SIRIO facility), will be scaled-up to achieve a system prototype demonstration in operational environment, relevant for LFRs/ADSs and LWRs.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

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.
