European nuclear thermodynamic database for in- and ex- vessel applications

Objective

To solve problems of fuel degradation, ex-vessel fuel spreading, core catcher resistance, fission products retention or release, etc. The phase diagrams of the key elements of the corium must be known. These phase diagrams can be determined directly or indirectly via thermodynamic measurements and models. The objective of ENTHALPY is to merge the 2 corium-oriented thermodynamic databases existing in Europe in one European commonly agreed database, to extend it to key in- and ex- vessel elements, to complete the missing or contradictory data by Separate Effect Tests (SET), to validate the database against global tests and to effectively couple the database to Severe Accident codes in a fast, accurate and convenient way. The accent is put on thermodynamic: equilibrium condition, specific thermodynamic-oriented methodology and techniques (Differential Thermal Analysis, High Temperature Mass Spectrometry, etc.)

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: The European Science Vocabulary.

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.
