Development Of Small Modular Reactor Cooled by Supercritical Water Within The ECC-SMART Project
Original language description
The ECC-SMART: Joint European-Canadian-Chinese development of small modular reactor technology is Euratom Horizon 2020 project. This project started in September 2020 and it will end in February 2025. The ECC-SMART project reunites specialists from 17 countries and three continents. It profits from the cooperation and knowledge obtained within previous international projects. The ECC-SMART aims to make a real progress towards the design of advanced small modular reactor cooled by supercritical water (SCW-SMR). Use of passive safety systems is one of the most important principles on which this type of reactor will be designed. This contribution describes the implementation of the project and how the stated objectives have been fulfilled within four technical work packages (Material testing, Thermal-hydraulics and safety, Neutronics and reactor physics, and Guideline synthesis and pre-licensing studies). The most interesting results obtained so far are presented as well. However, the successful project completion is indicated by submitting 30 deliverables and 20 milestones. In addition, a high number of students were successfully involved and supported the project´s results which were also reflected in published numerous peer-reviewed open-access scientific papers. Overall ECC-SMART project can be considered as an important contributor to the new type of advanced SMRs since SCW-SMR could be utilized in other industrial processes and technologies.
