Let’s Get Started: AMHYCO’s First Workshop Gathering

ORLEANS_Bords-de-Loire__Christophe_Mouton
Catch up with middle step technical workshop!

16-17 October 2023 – Orleans, France.

The technical content of the numerical and experimental results will be shown in an open workshop, targeting the main nuclear industry partners and the academia.

This will serve as a feedback to the work done in the project, bringing ideas to face the final phase of the project (WP5).

It will include a one-day course for fundamentals, named “H2/CO safety for nuclear power plants”, concerning the next points:

  • H2/CO safety background: from pre-TMI times to post Fukushima actions.
  • H2 and CO generation in a severe accident.
  • H2 and CO distribution in a containment building.
  • H2 and CO combustion fundamentals.
  • H2 and CO mitigation: PARs, igniters, etc.
  • H2 and CO management: SAMGs.
