Abstract

The SWINTH workshop series was initiated in 2016 by the SILENCE Network with the purposes of gathering information on the state-of-the-art in the area of instrumentation and measurement techniques for nuclear thermal-hydraulics experiments and promoting technical exchanges among specialists, including experts in code validation. Two SWINTH workshop were held in Livorno, Italy (June 2016 and October 2019), hosted by the University of Pisa, two decades after the international OECD/NEA specialist meeting on the same subject held in Santa Barbara, CA, U.S.A., in 1997. The second SWINTH workshop, co-organized by SILENCE and by the OECD/NEA/CSNI /WGAMA, was extended to TH experiments relevant to Severe Accident. SWINTH workshops attracted over sixty participants from Europe, Asia and North America and provided a wide picture of the ongoing research in the international community and of the major challenges being faced by experimentalists. Recent progress in the development of new instrumentation techniques and improvements of consolidated state-of-the-art technology were presented. The difficult challenge of quantification of measurement uncertainty, which received an increasing interest, along with other recommendations and lessons learned, constitute the key outcomes of the SWINTH workshops. They are summarized in the present paper.
