EVEREST

What is EVEREST?

The EVEREST project is dedicated to improving the safety and efficiency of nuclear reactors through cutting-edge multi-physics modelling. By leveraging advanced computational tools, EVEREST produces more accurate and detailed data, which is essential for validating and refining safety margins in nuclear power plants. One hurdle for a broader adoption of such models is the lack of dedicated experimental data for validation, especially when it comes to their improved spatial resolution. Through the production of high-resolution experimental data at three European research reactors, EVEREST will also attempt to fill this gap.

This research not only contributes to safer, more efficient energy production but also supports the transition to climate-neutral energy systems. The project actively involves key stakeholders—such as students, utilities, and regulators—by providing training, promoting the adoption of these advanced models, and ensuring the long-term preservation of nuclear safety knowledge through educational initiatives.
