| Abstract [eng] |
In 2023, the nuclear industry was clearly recognized at international level as having a key role to play in turning the tide on global warming. For the first time, nuclear energy was explicitly mentioned as a solution in the final COP28 declaration and 29 nations have appealed for a common effort to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. In the European Union, for historical reasons, the nuclear reactors still operated today were designed and built using either the US ASME/ASCE Codes, European codes (AFCEN for France, KTA for Germany), Russian codes (PNAE G-7), or even a mixture of codes adapted at a national level. This led to a European nuclear reactors fleet built with a "patchwork" of reference codes, leading in some cases to higher costs for spare parts and to a more complex follow-up of activities. As of 2017 and mentioned by the EC Directorate-General “Energy” in its Nuclear Illustrative Programme [1], this situation is hampering the competitiveness of the nuclear industry and therefore the deployment of new capacities. It is expected that the authors will submit carefully written and proofread material. Spelling and grammatical errors, as well as language usage problems, are not acceptable. The authors should limit their papers to 8 pages, presenting their results as concisely as possible. |
