Presentations from the Spring School are now available for download!

The Spring School on Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor was organized in the framework of the ESFR-SMART Project (WP 3-1 Education & Training). An overview of the past, present, and future of the SFR projects was given during the meeting, accompanied by short lectures on SFR fundamentals and highlights on the ongoing R&D activities.

The main objectives of the meeting were to help the young generation of researchers in the area to gain a deeper knowledge and expertise in various areas of SFR fundamentals (neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, materials, and safety) and GEN-IV reactors. It was also an opportunity for them to present their work in their relevant field and create a network to promote collaboration in the future.

During the 1st Session, an overview of the activities related to GEN-IV at OECD-NEA, IAEA ad EU was also given thanks to the well appreciated contribution of these multi-lateral organizations. The last Session was dedicated to three other Gen-IV systems, in order to share knowledge among the students and all attendees.

The Spring School was successfully organized thanks to the University of Cambridge, and more particularly to Jo Boyle, Feri Wibisono, and Eugene Shwageraus with the support of Christian Latgé, leader of the Education & Training Work Package.
