This work provides a synthesis of the ASTEC activities which were carried out within the SARNET FP7 Work-Package number 4 (WP4). These WP4-ASTEC activities were distributed over 3 sub-Work-Packages: USTI (Users’ Support, Training and Integration), ACAS (ASTEC Code ASsessment) and AMEX (ASTEC Model EXtension). · The USTI activity aimed at providing a support to ASTEC code users through elaboration, improvement, delivery and maintenance of code versions and revisions, assistance in code use, organization of training courses … as well as at enhancing code use experience through organization of users’ club meetings. Its other goal was to allow capitalising the R&D knowledge in the field of severe accidents by integration of models proposed in the WP5, WP6, WP7 and WP8 work-packages. · The ACAS activity aims at covering a broad matrix of ASTEC reactor applications, aiming at the most important accident scenarios for 4 types of reactors (PWR, VVER, BWR, CANDU). As to Gen.III NPPs, while the global applicability of ASTEC V2 to the EPR design has been yet demontrated by IRSN, it was planned to also start examining the applicability of ASTEC V2 to few other designs (such as for instance AP1000, APR1400, …) in the frame of the ACAS workpackage. In complement to these reactor applications, the second main objective of the ACAS activity was to continue the ASTEC assessment against experimental data. · The AMEX activity aims at extending the current ASTEC applicability to BWR and CANDU reactors.

This work provides a synthesis of the ASTEC activities which were carried out within the SARNET FP7 Work-Package number 4 (WP4).

Its other goal was to allow capitalising the R&D knowledge in the field of severe accidents by integration of models proposed in the WP5, WP6, WP7 and WP8 work-packages. · The ACAS activity aims at covering a broad matrix of ASTEC reactor applications, aiming at the most important accident scenarios for 4 types of reactors (PWR, VVER, BWR, CANDU).
