European Expert Network for the Reduction of Uncertainties in Severe Accident Safety Issues (EURSAFE)

EURSAFE thematic network was a concerted action in the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission. It established a large consensus among the main actors in Nuclear Safety on the Severe Accident issues where large uncertainties still subsist. As the result of an action involving R&D governmental institutions, regulatory bodies, nuclear industry, utilities and universities from 6 EU member States (Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom) plus JRC, 3 European third countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland), and the USA, EURSAFE represents a significant step towards harmonisation and credibility of the approaches, and resolution of the remaining Severe Accident issues.JRC.F.4-Nuclear design safet
