SESAME – Thermal-hydraulics Simulations and Experiments for the Safety Assessment of MEtal cooled reactors

The thermal-hydraulics Simulations and Experiments for the Safety Assessment of MEtal cooled reactors (SESAME) project supports the development of European liquid metal-cooled reactors. It will provide new experimental results and improved numerical approaches, allowing system designers to improve the safety of equipment, which will lead to enhanced safety standards and culture.

SESAME TEXTBOOK IS OUT!

A major outcome of the project has been achieved. Our textbook on Thermal Hydraulics Aspects of Liquid Metal Cooled Nuclear Reactors is available now at
Elsevier Woodhead Publishing. The textbook contains a comprehensive collection of liquid metal thermal hydraulics research and development for nuclear liquid metal reactor applications. Our European experts discuss topics of note that are supplemented by an international contribution from US partners within the framework of the NEAMS program. This book is a convenient source for students, professionals and academics interested in liquid metal thermal hydraulics in nuclear applications. In addition, it will also help newcomers become familiar with current techniques and knowledge. Interested in purchasing your own copy?
