This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under agreement No 945275


PASTELS will provide valuable inputs to allow the European nuclear community to obtain an informed opinion of the interest of having these innovative passive systems in European nuclear power plants. With this demonstration made, the ability for European NPP designers/ manufacturers to incorporate SACOs and CWCs in future nuclear powerplants’ designs as is already being done by non-European organisations. By being able to offer these components, Europe is safeguarding its competitive edge over foreign competitors.
