Towards European Licencing of Small Modular Reactors

ELSMOR (towards European Lisencing of Small MOdular Reactors) aims to create methods and tools for the European stakeholders to assess and verify the safety of light water small modular reactors (LW-SMR) that would be deployed in Europe. ELSMOR advances the understanding and technological solutions pertaining to light water SMRs on several fronts: • Collection, analysis, and dissemination of the information on the potential and challenges of Small Modular Reactors to various stakeholders, including the public, decision makers and regulators. • Development of the high level methods to assess the safety of LW-SMRs • Improvement of the European experimental research infrastructure to assist in the evaluation of the novel safety features of the future LW-SMRs. • Improvement of the European nuclear safety analysis codes to demonstrate the capability to assess the safety of the future LW-SMRs Establishing education and training in the field of innovative nuclear reactors for young professionals is also emphasized. The ELSMOR project is built upon the expertise of the consortium that consists of technical support organizations, technical research centres, industrial partners, and universities with the long experience in European nuclear safety analysis and the development and implementation of innovative nuclear technologies. The industrial partners include utilities, small medium sized enterprises as well as the consortium currently developing the French LW-SMR (F-SMR design). The developers of European safety analysis tools and other computer codes use their well-established paths for exploitation of the improved and validated simulation tools. The licencing approaches and methods would be expected to be directly utilized by SMR designers like the French consortium. The outcomes should make the licensing process more fluid and comprehensive; this should also be true from the regulator point of view.
