About this project

This project has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2019-2020 under grant agreement No 945234. This website contents are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union.

The ECC-SMART is oriented towards assessing the feasibility and identification of safety features of an intrinsically and passively safe small modular reactor cooled by supercritical water (SCW-SMR), taking into account specific knowledge gaps related to the future licensing process and implementation of this technology.
The main objectives of the project are:

  • 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 licencing,
  • and propose a strategy for this process.

To reach these objectives, specific technical knowledge gaps were defined and will be assessed to achieve the future smooth licensing and implementation of the SCW-SMR technology (especially behaviour of materials in the SCW environment and irradiation, evaluation of the codes and design of the reactor core will be developed, associated simulations and experiments).
