29 Objectives Tackling the fragmentation between the different European R&D organisations, notably in defining common research programmes; Capitalising knowledge in common tools: Database DATANET for storage of experimental data, ASTEC integral code (IRSN-GRS) as reference European code. Bringing together top scientists in SA research to constitute a world leadership, in particular on simulation computer codes. Disseminating the knowledge through education and training, towards students and young researchers and towards new nuclear countries. SNETP GA Warsaw Nov 29,

30 International context Non-European participation: USNRC (USA), AECL (Canada), KAERI and KINS (Korea), BARC (India). Expressions of interest to join the NoE: Japan (JNES, JAEA), London Imperial College (UK), New nuclear countries like Poland Close collaboration WGAMA of OECD/CSNI Phébus FP, ISTP, ISTC, ASAMPSA2 and ENEN SNETP GA Warsaw Nov 29,

31 R&D priorities The safety issues have been ranked in the SARNET FP6 project by the SARP (SA Research Priorities) group of experts, including end-users (utilities, TSOs ) Selection in 2008 of 6 issues with high priority: Core coolability during reflooding and debris cooling, Ex-vessel melt pool configuration during Molten-Core- Concrete Interaction & ex-vessel corium coolability by top flooding, Melt relocation into water & ex-vessel Fuel-Coolant- Interaction, Hydrogen mixing and combustion in containment (flame acceleration), Oxidising impact on source term (Ruthenium oxidising conditions or air ingress for high burn-up and MOX fuel elements), Iodine chemistry in circuits and in containment.
