BWR Physics and Thermohydraulics Complementary Actions to the IPSS-BWR R&D Cluster

As a complement of the EU-IPSS-BWR R&D Cluster project the "BWR-Physics and Thermohydraulics Complementary Actions" contributed to answer issues which are identified for the future BWR plants: The design of innovative components, an enlarged assesment of the performances and a better understanding of the underlying physical phenomena both thermohydraulics and neutronics and the interaction of the two.
Partners from 5 EU countries were involved in the project.
The report summarizes the main results (concerning thermal valves, isolation condensers, emergency condensor, building condenser and dynamical properties of BWR) of the project.
