Abstract
The latest violent earthquakes that struck Japanese nuclear power plants renewed international focus on the structural strength of nuclear facilities. This has forced the nuclear engineering community to concentrate a significant research effort in the evaluation and mitigation of risks associated to earthquakes. In this contest, the SILER Project has been developed by a consortium of 18 European partners with a large share of industrial partners. It has been proposed and accepted by the European Commission in 2011. Two reference designs, available in the beginning of the project, have been considered: the ELSY configuration from the Sixth Framework Programme for the LFR design and the MYRRHA configuration from the Seventh Framework Programme for the accelerator-driven systems (ADS). In this paper we present an interim report on the results, both numerical and experimental, obtained so far.
