Horizon Euratom: SMR & Advanced Reactor Safety
Funds five €3M projects that test the safety of next-generation reactors and their fuel, from small modular designs to Gen-IV concepts.
Europe wants a new generation of nuclear reactors — small modular reactors (SMRs) and more advanced Gen-IV designs — and this topic funds the safety research behind them, done independently rather than taken on the vendors' word. It covers both light-water SMRs and Gen-IV-based advanced modular reactors (AMRs), plus their fuel cycles.
A winning project researches, and where useful tests, the safe…
Independent safety research for small modular reactors (both light-water SMRs and Gen-IV-based advanced modular reactors) and their fuel cycles — passive-safety assessment, pre-normative R&D, viability-phase testing, and experimental validation of coolants, fuel and severe-accident behaviour, plus the regulatory groundwork to assess these new designs consistently across the EU.
