June 28th, 2024 - International Summer School participants visiting SIET

TANDEM Summer School and 2nd Intl. School on Early-deployable SMR

SIET welcomed a delegation from two Schools:

the TANDEM Summer School, part of the TANDEM Project (https://tandemproject.eu/tandem-summer-school-2024/);

and the second edition of the International School on Early-deployable SMR (https://www.nuclearenergy.polimi.it/smr2024ss/) organised by the Politecnico di Milano.

The participants were a group of more than 80 people. The visit started with a safety briefing to enter the facility. This was followed by technical presentation entitled:
- Experimental support at SIET for the safety assessment of LWRs and SMRs;

- How to design an experimental facility presentation (performed by SIET technical staff at Politecnico di Milano campus in Lecco).

After a question and answer session, all participants, divided into smaller groups, had the opportunity to visit the SIET test facilities. The tour included the outdoor and indoor areas of the former Emilia power plant, which now houses all the SIET testing rigs.
