    The FASTNET project is a four-years European project funded by the Euratom Research and Training Programme 2014-2018. This project has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No. 662284.

    The objectives are:
    – to set-up a severe accident scenarios database

    – to qualify a common graduated response methodology that integrates several tools and methods to :
    – evaluate the source term
    – ensure both diagnosis and prognosis of severe accident progression
    – make the connection between the FASTNET tools and others systems that use source term definition for further assessments (the International Radiological Information Exchange (IRIX) format will be used for data exchange between FASTNET tools and these systems used for consequence evaluations)

    in order to implement in any emergency Centres the proposed solution for the management of emergency in all the operating nuclear power plant concepts (Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) of Gen II and III; Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) of Gen II; VVER 440 and 1000; CANDU) and a concept of spent fuel pool facilities in Europe

    – to propose through the project website an action of communication to the public of the emergency management approaches, measures and resources in Europe

    LEI activities in the project

    Researchers of the Laboratory are contribute the most to the first work package Scenarios Database by processing and classifying information on accident situations at nuclear power plants in various countries and by compiling a database of parameters characteristic of selected main representative scenarios.

    Detailed description of the project Type and scope of services provided

    When dealing with emergency, two issues with fully different time requirements and operational objectives, and thus different methods and tools, have to be considered: emergency preparedness and emergency response. This project will address both issues by combining the efforts of organizations active in these two areas to make already identified deterministic reference tools and methods a decisive step toward. In particular capabilities of these methods and tools will be extended to tackle main categories of accident scenarios in main types of operating or foreseen water-cooled NPPs in Europe, including Spent Fuel Pools. A first task will be the identification of these categories of scenario, the proposition of a methodology for their description and the development of a database of scenarios. Building this database will constitute a first important step in the harmonisation goal defended in this project. Promising probabilistic approaches based on Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) are currently developed to complement operational deterministic methodologies and tools by contributing to diagnosis accidental situations. The development of the methodologies will be pursued in this project with the extension of the existing deterministic ones to European reactors. Both approaches will be assessed against the above mentioned database of scenarios. Finally a comprehensive set of emergency exercises will be developed and proposed to be run by a large set of partners. A first series of exercises will address source term evaluations that will be compared to the reference source terms from the scenarios database. Then a second series of exercises will be proposed on the same scenarios that will be used for the first series but accounting for the main emergency objective : to protect the populations. Progresses made by the methods and tools developed within this project will be notably assessed by comparing the results obtained in these two series of exercises.
