Education and Training in MUSA Project on Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accidents

The overall objective of HORIZON 2020 project on “Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accidents (MUSA)” is to quantify the uncertainties of severe accident codes when modelling reactor and spent fuel pools (SFP) accidents of Gen II and Gen III reactors for the prediction of the radiological source term. The “Education and Training” programme in MUSA is focusing on raising the competence level of university students (M.Sc. and PhD) and young researchers and engineers engaged somehow in severe accidents. Towards this purpose the following main actions are in progress: 1) production of public learning modules compiling the major outcomes from the project; 2) a mobility exchange programme of young researchers and M.Sc./Ph.D. students for training in the MUSA partners’ laboratories to enhance the dissemination of knowledge in the area of Severe Accident and Uncertainty tools; 3) production of a lecture on “Uncertainty Quantification in Severe Accident Analyses” for the different international Courses.
