The Main Results of Structural Materials Research for Safe Long-Term Operation of LWR NPPs from the Viewpoint of Dissemination Activities

One of the main points of any project implementation is the dissemination of the obtained results among the nuclear
community, young researchers, public, stakeholders, etc. Communication and dissemination activities are considered as high-priority elements in European collaborative research projects. The article briefly presents EUROATOM project “STRUctructural MATerials Research for Safe Long-Term Operation of LWR NPPs” (STRUMAT-LTO), that was started in September 2020, describes its goals, main steps, expected outputs, approaches used for dissemination and communication activities and brief status update on interim results after 2 years’ implementation. In general, the deployment of the STRUMAT-LTO project was dedicated to studying synergetic effects of Ni-Mn-Si on RPV embrittlement at high fluences by exploiting unique RPV model steels irradiated in LYRA-10 irradiation experiment and assessing the Embrittlement Trend Curves for LTO and Master curve approach for LTO. All these activities are aimed at finding a solution to justify safe LTO until 80 years of operation.
