Status report on safety analysis in Europe from the operational flexibility and cogeneration viewpoint

Status report on safety analysis in Europe from the operational flexibility and cogeneration viewpoint The aim is to dentify and assess the potentially impacted safety margins of the SMR when integrated in a hybrid energy system with overall coordination by IRSN For this purpose all the participants in particular operators and TSOs will analyse the constraints which would result from SMR adaptation to energy demand and response to transients and abnormal operation of the connected systems eg thermal load and fatigue core power redistribution reactivity control pelletcladding interaction etc The approach will be based on a survey of the best practices developed by the partners in the field of safety assessment of energy production flexibility and cogeneration technical constraints specific safety concerns etc The study will cover feedback from Germany GRS France IRSN and eastern Europe ENERGORISK Then a methodology for assessment of relevant physical parameters and safety margins of the SMR will be established
