EMRP project Metrology for New Generation Nuclear Power plants (ENG08 Metrofission), aims to address the measurement challenges posed by new ‘Generation IV’ nuclear reactor designs by testing temperature measurements and materials for suitability and ensuring sufficient nuclear data and radiation measurement techniques are available. The project will benefit the European nuclear energy industry and covers exciting new metrology and the key needs of the industry.
An open meeting for the project was organised on 9-10 February 2012 at ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) in Rome, Italy. Invited to the meeting were representatives from the nuclear new-build, scientific experts, external users and stakeholders from the nuclear industry, national nuclear laboratories, international standards bodies, nuclear power plants and energy providers.
