The Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accidents (MUSA) project, funded in HORIZON 2020 coordinated by CIEMAT (Spain), aims at consolidating a harmonized approach for the analysis uncertainties sensitivities associated with (SAs) focusing on Source Term (ST). In this framework, objectives Innovative Spent Fuel Pool (IMSFP – WP6), led IRSN (France), are to quantify rank affecting accident analyses (SFP), review existing contemplated SA management measures systems assess their possible...

The Great East Japan earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, at 14:46, and the subsequent tsunami led Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO's) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Station (NPS) beyond a design-basis accident. After accident, Japanese government TEPCO compiled roadmap toward an early resolution to accident including, among main activities, employment improvement of existing severe (SA) computer codes. In member countries Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development/Nuclear Energy...

In the current state of maturity severe accident codes, time has come to foster systematic application Best Estimate Plus Uncertainties (BEPU) in this domain. The overall objective HORIZON-2020 project on “Management and Severe Accidents (MUSA)” is quantify uncertainties codes (e.g., ASTEC, MAAP, MELCOR, AC2) when modeling reactor spent fuel pools scenarios Gen II III designs for prediction radiological source term. To do so, different Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) methodologies are be...

The safe storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) within a dry cask system must be guaranteed for any operating condition. In particular, the Peak Cladding Temperature (PCT) is currently employed as measure fuel integrity in normal conditions. same has to ensured also off-normal and accidental conditions by keeping PCT below regulatory limits. this regard, work proposed paper aims at evaluating performance concrete-based More specifically, influence partial complete blockage air inlet openings on...

After the Fukushima Daiichi accident, a new wave of research projects aiming at enhancing severe accident (SA) management was launched under different international frameworks. This case MUSA (Management and Uncertainties Severe Accidents), AMHYCO (Towards enhanced Accident Management H2 CO combustion risk) SOCRATES (Assessment liquid Source Term for accidental post phase), which frame H2020 HEUROPE EURATOM were devised to optimize aspects management. explored how bringing uncertainties...
