The joint international R&D Project “Examination and improvement of mitigation capabilities and strategies of operating PWRs and an APR series PWR against Design Extension Conditions (DEC)” was launched in January 2021. The following partner institutions and enterprises from the Czech Republic and the Republic of Korea are participating in this project:
TES Ltd and Brno University of Technology on the Czech side and FNC Technology Co., Ltd; Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School on the Korean side. The Project is co-financed by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TACR) and by the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP). The strategies and capabilities for DEC mitigation of both participating countries are expected to be compared for operating nuclear power plants and GenIII+ series plant of APR design in frame of this Project. The review of latest legislation and regulatory trends on DEC, as well as benchmarking of computer codes and analysis methods is also expected to be performed as a part of this Project. The project builds on the long-term cooperation of TES s.r.o. with partners from the Republic of Korea in the field of nuclear energy and nuclear safety.
