“…At the end of the SARNET/FP6 project, the update of this process led to select the following R&D issues as highest priority where the remaining uncertainties were judged still too high (Schwinges et al, 2010):…”

The SARNET network (Severe Accident Research NETwork of excellence), co-funded by the European Commission from 2004 to 2013, has allowed to significantly improve the knowledge on severe accidents and to disseminate it through courses and ERMSAR conferences. The major investigated topics, involving more than 250 researchers from 22 countries, were in- and ex-vessel corium/debris coolability, molten-core–concrete-interaction, steam explosion, hydrogen combustion and mitigation in containment, impact of oxidising conditions on source term, and iodine chemistry. The ranking of the high priority issues was updated to account for the results of recent international research and for the impact of Fukushima nuclear accidents in Japan. In addition, the ASTEC integral code was further developed to capitalize the new knowledge. The network has reached self-sustainability by integration in mid-2013 into the NUGENIA Association. The main activities and outcomes of the network are presented

“…The aim of the comprehensive analytical program is to increase the capability of FCI models and codes for use in reactor analyses. Due to the high risk significance of the steam explosion phenomenon for the containment integrity, the ex-vessel FCI issue is one of the six high priority safety issues, which were identified in the EU (European Union) network of excellence SARNET (Severe Accident Research NETwork of Excellence) Phase 1 (Albiol et al, 2008;Schwinges et al, 2010). The purpose of the SARNET network of excellence, which was founded in the year 2004, is to integrate European research capabilities on severe accidents in order to enhance the safety for the existing and future nuclear power plants.…”
