In the current state of maturity of severe accident codes, application of BEPU (Best Estimate Plus Uncertainties) methodology in severe accident analysis, including Accident Management (AM), might provide key insights in terms of predictability and research needs. The EC project on “Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accident (MUSA)”, funded by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, is aimed to assess the capability of severe accident codes when modeling reactor and SFP (Spent Fuel Pool) accident scenarios of Gen II and Gen III reactor designs, AM included. To do so, UQ (Uncertainty Quantification) methodologies are to be used, with a focus on Source Term (ST). The overall budget of the project is € 5,768,452.50, which means around 630 person-months.

Abstract
In the current state of maturity of severe accident codes, application of BEPU (Best Estimate Plus Uncertainties) methodology in severe accident analysis, including Accident Management (AM), might provide key insights in terms of predictability and research needs. The EC project on “Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accident (MUSA)”, funded by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, is aimed to assess the capability of severe accident codes when modeling reactor and SFP (Spent Fuel Pool) accident scenarios of Gen II and Gen III reactor designs, AM included. To do so, UQ (Uncertainty Quantification) methodologies are to be used, with a focus on Source Term (ST). The overall budget of the project is € 5,768,452.50, which means around 630 person-months.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
