Severe Accident Summer Camp
SASCamp is a new format residential camp offering a unique and focused opportunity to advance understanding and innovation in Severe Accident management for Gen 2, 3, and 3+ reactors. Over five intensive days, participants will engage in collaborative problem-solving, guided by highly qualified instructors who bring a wealth of experience and expertise. Organized in small groups of five, participants will tackle real-world assignments, develop innovative solutions, and benefit from the transfer of cutting-edge knowledge and practical know-how. This residential camp is designed to equip the next generation with the critical skills and insights needed to address complex challenges in nuclear safety and reactor management.
SASCamp is built around five critical domains of Severe Accident management, closely aligned with SAP lectures to ensure a comprehensive learning experience:
- Day 1: In-Vessel Phenomena
- Day 2: Ex-Vessel Phenomena
- Day 3: Containment Integrity and Combustion Risk
- Day 4: Source Term Assessment
- Day 5: Addressing Uncertainties in Severe Accident Analysis
Each day begins with a wrap up of the SAP lecturer, tailored to the domain of the day. Afterwards they pose a challenging assignment, developed in collaboration with SAP lecturers. Participants, working in small groups (maximum five members), will tackle these assignments using all available means (e.g. models, available data, scientific papers, or expert judgment) while beeing supported by the instructors.
The day culminates in a joint session where each group presents their findings, fostering knowledge exchange and critical discussion, followed by a comprehensive wrap-up summarizing key insights. This dynamic and interactive format will enable a deep understanding of severe accident phenomena while promoting innovative problem-solving and collaboration.
