Ecc-Smart Project

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 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, validation of
