Project SESAME is a project within the European project Horizon 2020. The three main objectives of the SESAME project are: the development and validation of advanced numerical approaches for the design and safety evaluation of advanced reactors; achievement of a new or extended validation base by creation of new reference data; and establishment of Best Practice Guidelines. Project results are expected to be used in the planning and improvement of fourth generation reactors such as ASTRID, MYRRHA, ALFRED and SEALER. The project is divided into 7 work packages. 23 organizations from the European Union and two organizations from the USA are involved in the project.

In the first part of the meeting, administrative changes to the project, together with the reasons for them, were introduced. The main change in the project administration is the change of the project coordinator. Because of the rules of the European Commission and financial problems of NRG, the new coordinator is ENEA. Another change concerns the partners from the USA. Due to the export rules, partners from there cannot participate directly in the project. After the introductory meeting and a meeting of the work package 6, the meetings of other work packages were held in two parallel sessions in the following days. The meeting ended with a technical tour of two research laboratories in the research organization CEA at Cadarache.

The meeting was organised between 11th and 14th of October in the Château de Cadarache near the research centre of CEA at Cadarache. As a representative of the Reactor Engineering Division, Jure Oder attended the meeting. At the meeting of work package 1: Fluctuations and vibrations, he presented the results achieved in the last six months.
