MCSAFER

The main objective of McSAFER is the advancement of the safety research for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) by combining safety-relevant thermal hydraulic experiments and numerical simulations of different approaches for safety evaluations. The experiments will be performed on existing European thermal hydraulic test facilities such as COSMOS-H (KIT), HWAT (KTH) and MOTEL (LUT) to investigate SMR-specific safety-relevant phenomena (subcooled boiling, critical heat flux, transition from forced to natural circulation) with the goal to provide corresponding data for code validation... The aim of the McSAFER project is to advance the safety research for SMRs by combining experimental investigations and numerical simulations... The neutron physical, thermal hydraulics and safety related investigations are focused on four SMR-designs such as CAREM (CNEA), SMART (KAERI), Nuward (CEA) and NuSCALE (NuScale).
