SESAME project is a project in the context of the European project Horizon 2020. The three main objectives of the project are: 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, verification and validation methodologies, and uncertainty quantification methods. Project results are expected to be used in the design and improvement of fourth generation reactors. Explicitly exposed were the reactor ASTRID, MYRRHA, ALFRED and SEALER. The project is divided into 7 work packages. 23 organizations from the European Union and 2 organizations from the United States are cooperating.

In the first part of the meeting, organizations preparing experimental facilities (under any of the work package) presented the progress in production and measurements. The second part of the meeting began the following day. Participants were divided into two groups for the work packages 1 and 2 and for the work packages 3 and 5. In the third part of the meeting, which began on the third day, the participants met again together for the packages 6 and 7. The first one is dedicated for the learning materials for the simulation of fluid mechanics preparation, the other for the project administration. Later the Project Management Board was held, followed by General Assembly of the project. On the latter, payments, certain changes regarding the financing of certain partners and changes that allow cooperation with American partners have been agreed.

The meeting was held from 6. to 8. March in the premises of the NRG organization in Petten, Netherlands. The meeting as a representative of the Reactor Engineering Division attended Jure Oder. At a meeting of the work package 1: Fluctuation and vibration he presented the results achieved in the last six months.
