NARSIS Project meeting, Karlsruhe, Germany, 18-20.9.2018

NARSIS (New Approach to Reactor Safety ImprovementS) is a four-year European project of the Horizon 2020 Framework Program, of which the main objectives are to fill identified weaknesses in the security analysis of external threats and to propose recommendations for future legislation. The first three work assemblies are of a research nature, and the fourth and fifth are applicative. The Jožef Stefan Institute, Reactor Engineering Division (IJS, R-4) participates in the  first four and in the sixth work assembly. The first working set is intended to characterize physical threats due to various external threats and scenarios. The second work unit is designed to assess the main critical components of the nuclear power plant. The third set of work is intended for common risk and safety analyses, and the fourth is intended for a comparison of different security approaches for safety assessment in the case of an actual reactor. The fifth working group is intended for tools to support the handling of serious accidents, and the sixth to disseminate the results achieved in the project.

The meeting was divided into two parts. Firstly, the General Assembly was held, where representatives of the participating organizations were informed by the on the current state of the project and the way the documents are exchanged. The coordinator reported on the forthcoming financial reporting to the European Commission and the planned meeting and workshop in 2019. In the second part, a plenary session was held where the heads of work units presented the work done in individual sections. A discussion on the tools that are planned for use as part of the NARSIS project was followed. On the last day, a debate was held on open issues and the exchange of data between individual work packages.

The NARSIS meeting, which was hosted from september 18. - 20. in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was attended by dr. Andrija Volkanovski and dr. Andrej Prošek.
