EASI-SMR

Addressing safety issues related to light water small modular reactors.

As nuclear technology use increases, there has been a growing focus on light water small modular reactors (LW/SMR) in recent years. However, safety challenges related to these technologies remain. The EU-funded EASI-SMR project addresses safety issues related to LW-SMR technology to support its implementation. The project aims to ensure safe reactor design, construction, and operation, with a focus on innovations such as passive systems, soluble boron-free cores, co-generation, additive manufacturing, and multi-unit operation. The project targets NUWARD SMR and LDR-50 designs and is linked with NUGENIA TA6 and the European SMR pre-partnership WS5.
