ECC SMART

Integrating these concepts together, after addressing proposals for funding opportunities in 2016 and 2018, finally an International Consortium of entities from Europe, Canada and China has now come together under the ECC-SMART Project (which has received funding from the European Commission) to work further on these concepts and advance in their associated challenges... The ECC-SMART Project, which began in September 2020, is oriented towards assessing the feasibility and identification of safety features of an intrinsically and passively safe small modular reactor cooled by supercritical water (SCW-SMR), taking into account specific knowledge gaps related to the future licensing process and implementation of this technology... The ECC-SMART project is a unique opportunity gathering the world-wide scientific efforts and focus them to the ovearll objective - to prepare the environment for future SCW-SMR licensing and industrial implementation. How we intend on doing this is explained..
