NURISP Project
The NURISP project came to an end in December 2012. The follow-up project, NURESAFE, began on 1 January 2013. For more information and details please visit www.nuresafe.eu
The target of the NURISP Collaborative Project is to make new and significant steps towards a European Reference Simulation Platform for applications relevant to present PWR and BWR and to future reactors. The roadmap of this Simulation Platform will be proposed to be part of the future Strategic Research Agenda of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP).
The first step towards this ambitious target has been made during the FP6 NURESIM Integrated Project. The NURISP project will start from this basis and develop further the already common and well-proven NURESIM informatics platform. It will also strengthen and enlarge the united team of top level international experts already federated during the NURESIM project and it will transform it into a European pole of excellence in reactor safety computation.
The platform will provide a more accurate representation of the physical phenomena by developing and incorporating into "best estimate" codes the latest advances in core physics, two-phase thermal-hydraulics and fuel modelling. The project will also develop significant capacities for multiscale and multiphysics calculations, and for deterministic and statistical sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, facilitating their use in a generic environment.
New codes will be connected to the platform and new steps will be made for integration, model development (including fuel), coupling, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, and validation, with broader applications. During the course of NURISP, the focus will be on present (GEN-II) and future (GEN-III) PWR, VVER and BWR, but care will be taken to use generic methods so that future extension to GEN-IV reactors will be possible.
The objectives of NURISP will be realised through six Sub-Projects:
22 organizations participate in NURISP: ASCOMP, CEA, CHALMERS, EDF, FZD, KIT/FZK, GRS, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, INRNE, IRSN, JSI, KFKI, KTH, LUT, NRI, PSI, TUDELFT, UCL, KIT/UNIKA, UPISA, UPM, VTT. They come from 14 European countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden; Switzerland, United Kingdom.
