Abstract

Devoted to the Generation-IV European Sodium Fast Reactor safety, the Horizon-2020 ESFR-SMART project was launched in September 2017. Selected results and milestones achieved during the first fifteen months of the project are briefly reviewed in the paper, including 1) proposal of new safety measures for ESFR; 2) evaluation of ESFR core performance; 3) benchmarking of codes; 4) experimental programs; and 5) education and training.
