Advanced reactor safety

NEA Working Group on the Safety of Advanced Reactors (WGSAR) meeting, 23 June 2020

NEA Working Group on the Safety of Advanced Reactors (WGSAR) meeting, 23 June 2020.

The NEA Working Group on the Safety of Advanced Reactors (WGSAR) met on 23 June 2020 via video conference.

The group members made advances on a technical report on fuel qualification for advanced reactors. They discussed a draft benchmark specification for a lead‑cooled fast reactor core damage scenario that has been developed in order to assess code capabilities and to address knowledge gaps for regulators.

The participants also discussed the safety design criteria developed by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) on structures, systems and components for sodium-cooled fast reactor systems.
