Implementation of the ECC-SMART: Joint European Canadian Chinese development of Small Modular Reactor Technology

Original language description

The ECC-SMART project is supported by Horizon 2020 EURATOM call with almost 4 mil. EUR. It was launched in September 2020 with a complete duration of 54 months. The project focuses on a small modular reactor cooled by supercritical water (SCW-SMR) with the aim to support and help to solve the issues related to structural materials, heat transfer, neutron physics and safety. The project consists of four technical work packages (Material testing, Thermal-hydraulics and safety, Neutronics and reactor physics, and Guideline synthesis and pre-licensing studies), whose close collaboration and knowledge transfer is the backbone of the successful implementation. The technical WPs are complemented by two supportive administrative work packages, including nuclear education and training activities. Altogether, they aim to achieve the main objectives to define the design requirements for the future SCW-SMR technology, to develop the pre-licensing study and guidelines for the demonstration of the safety in the further development stages of the SCW-SMR concept including the methodologies and tools to be used and to identify the key obstacles for the future SMR licensing and propose a strategy for this process. The successful project completion is signalled by submitting 30 deliverables and 20 milestones. As for the project consortium, this involves 20 partners and consists of 15 European institutions from 12 member states and is supplemented by an important international collaboration with the Canadian, Chinese, and Ukraine supercritical water research programs. The project consortium and project scope were created according to the joint research activities under the International Atomic Energy Agency, Generation-IV International Forum, SNETP and NUGENIA umbrella. The related contribution will be dealing with the project implementation in detail.
