HOLIstic optimisation of SHIP design and operation for life cycle (HOLISHIP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Most maritime products are typically associated with large investments and are seldom built in large series. Where other modes of transport benefit from the economy of series production, this is not the case for maritime products which are typically designed to refined customer requirements increasingly determined by the need for high efficiency, flexibility and low environmental impact at a compe ...

Low Energy And Near to zero emissions Ships (LeanShips)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

The specific challenge for waterborne transport call MG4.1 is, “To support developments that make new and existing vessels…more efficient and less polluting”. A sound way to support developments is, to demonstrate solutions that are sufficiently close to market so that ship owners will consider these in their future investment plans. Following this reasoning LeanShips will execute 8 demonstration ...

Treatment of long term irradiation embrittlement effects in RPV safety assessment (LONGLIFE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

In view of the increasing age of the European NPPs and envisaged life time extensions up to an EOL of 80 years, there is a need for an improved understanding and prediction of RPV irradiation embrittlement effects connected with long term operation (LTO). Effects caused by high neutron fluences such as the possible formation of Late Blooming Phases and as yet unknown defects must be considered ade ...

Prediction of the Effects of Radiation FOr reactor pressure vessel and in-core Materials using multi-scale modelling - 60 years foreseen plant lifetime (PERFORM 60)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"In nuclear power plants, materials may undergo degradation due to severe irradiation conditions that may limit their operational life. Utilities that operate these reactors need to quantify the ageing and the potential degradations of some essential structures of the power plant to ensure safe and reliable plant operation. So far, the material databases needed to take account of these degradation ...

European Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GoFastR)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Fast reactors have the unique ability to be sustainable by, not only being able to generate their own fuel, but through being able to burn minor actinides to reduce the quantity and radiotoxicity of nuclear wastes. The latter ability enables fast reactors to not only burn the minor actinides produced by themselves but, in addition, the minor actinides arising from legacy wastes and thermal reactor ...

Power Optimised Ship for Environment with Electric Innovative Designs ON board (POSE²IDON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The electric ship concept offers many benefits; among other aspects if offers flexibility of control and effectiveness of power transmission. But predominantly it enables higher energy conversion efficiency by ensuring that prime movers are effectively loaded at all times and across all operating conditions. This dominating advantage cannot be matched by mechanical transmission systems because ge ...

End User Requirement fOr Process heat Applications with Innovative Reactors for Sustainable energy supply (EUROPAIRS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

The development of GENERATION IV nuclear systems is identified as an important objective of the present Euratom work programme. The significant support given in FP5 and FP6 allowed Europe to acquire strong assets in the technology of one of the 6 GENERATION IV reactor types, the (V)HTR. In line with these assets and with the recommendation of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform, whi ...
