– Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth

– Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment

– Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

Integral part of Horizon 2020 package

General objective:

• Improve nuclear safety, security & radiation protection

• Contribute to the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system, in a safe, efficient and secure way

Euratom Programme 2014-2018


� Proposed budget: Total € 1 789 million, including Fission € 355 million; Fusion € 710 million (without ITER); JRC € 724 million

and secure way

Specific objectives for indirect actions (fission):

• support safe operation of nuclear systems;

• contribute to development of solutions for the management of ultimate waste;

• support development and sustainability of nuclear competences;

• foster radiation protection;

• promote innovation and industrial competitiveness

• ensure availability and use of research infrastructures

Next steps

Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on the basis of the Commission proposals

Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-2020 (including overall budget


budget 2014-2020 (including overall budget for Horizon 2020)

Mid 2012: Final calls under 7th Framework Programme for research to bridge gap towards Horizon 2020

Mid 2013: Adoption of legislative acts by Parliamentand Council on Horizon 2020

Final review of NURISP (1)

• NURISP contributed to the state of the art of simulation of multi-physics phenomena in nuclear reactors

• Final review undertaken before the end of the project and delivery of major deliverables particularly by SP3 multi-physics

• In SP1 Core physics, careful work performed with deterministic and Monte Carlo codes.deterministic and Monte Carlo codes.

• In SP2 Thermal-hydraulics, work on multi-phase flow applied to pressurised thermal shock (PTS), departure from nuclear boiling (DNB) (still considerable long-term challenges), loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) and steam condensation in pressure suppression pools → world-class

collaboration in multi-phase CFD in Europe.


• In SP3 Multi-physics, new codes added to the NURESIM platform including system thermal-hydraulics and thermo-mechanical fuel codes. However, only limited progress on making full use of the platform for multi-scale, multi-physics applications.

• In SP4 Validation and uncertainties, URANIE platform • In SP4 Validation and uncertainties, URANIE platform extended for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, including data assimilation. However, no common strategy between the work packages. Deliverable on development of formal procedures for code validation to be completed.

• In SP5 Integration, objectives met. However, only a limited amount of work with the SALOME-based NURESIM platform, particularly in the field of coupled calculations.



• Deliverables: Ensure completion and review of all remaining deliverables. Upload the best ones on NURESIM public website to enhance the impact of the project.

• Users’ Group: seems to have played only a minor role in the project. It was previously recommended that it would form an advisory committee for NURESIM. However, the form an advisory committee for NURESIM. However, the Users’ Group was seen as providing additional resources for the project, and its views were not fully considered.

• Recommendation for NURISP: Prepare an appealing description of the NURESIM platform (as it is today) including its various components and its capabilities with regard to the coupling of modules. Such a description should be widely distributed and regularly updated.



Recommendations for a future project

• The SP2 Thermal-hydraulics work has been independent of the platform itself. It has a higher research component. Full development, validation and exploitation of the methods may require significant further research, including novel experimental techniques and measurement systems. novel experimental techniques and measurement systems.

• The topics dealt with in SP4 Validation and uncertainties should be strongly integrated to the sub-projects SP1 and SP2. The links between the URANIE and NURESIM platforms should be clarified.

• A strong justification for continuing the SALOME-based NURESIM platform with EC-funding is required. Continuation of the research-oriented aspects should be based on currently identified priorities.
