Towards a European Severe Accident Infrastructure Network (SAINET): An Outcome of the SEAKNOT Project

One of the expected outcomes of the SEAKNOT (Severe Accident Research and Knowledge management for LWRs) project is to create the first step for an integrated experimental European Severe Accident Infrastructure of laboratories able to answer at horizon 2026-2028 to current and future needs for water-cooled reactors severe accident research, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Technology Fuels (ATFs) included.
After having carried out a mapping of European Severe Accident experimental facilities, discussions have progressed on the outline of a future Severe Accident Infrastructure Network (SAINET) and its expected benefits
