Overview of ETSON modelling and experimental capabilities for R&D on nuclear safety. ETSON Research Group activity

As a whole, ETSON covers all safety issues with experienced teams and capabilities and can address further R&D challenges: - Large and small scale facilities, often unique; - Development of simulation codes, some being international reference; - Experienced experimental and modelling capabilities. Trainees can be accepted on case by case basis. ETSON allows to concentrate resources, focus on topics of main interest and avoid duplication of efforts. ETSON is able to keep a high level of competencies and expertise: - Based on advanced and detailed scientific information; - In most of the technical domains relevant for safety; - In a challenging scientific context in continuous evolution. ETSON can address further R&D challenges: - New materials, fuels, safety systems. R&D is fundamental to support independent and informed safety positions.
