Objective of the project Testing an R&D idea – Assessment of fractures in high pressure equipment (No. 10-038-T-0113) is to prepare and application proposal for the EURATOM programe calls for proposals in the framework of an interdisciplinary project.

The project is a preparatory work to prepare the application and to obtain the necessary knowledge for the preparation of the application for the forthcoming HORIZON-EURATOM call “Safety of operating nuclear power plants and research reactors” through an interdisciplinary project.
The plan is to develop and test numerical assessment methods for more reliable fracture analysis of high power pipelines. New experiments planned by the project partners will be used to validate the computational methods and will provide relevant information on the fracture behaviour of the high power pipeline, including reaction forces, loads and the thermo-hydraulic response to other components. In addition, these studies will increase the knowledge of the loads on pipelines and related components such as pipeline supports. Improved assessment procedures will allow for a proper assessment of the resistance to damage and the establishment of safety margins.

The project is implemented under the Development Programme Manager of the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania for the period 2021-2030, under the Development Programme Progress Measure No 12-001-01-02-01 “Strengthening innovation ecosystems in science centres” activity “Support for identified R&D start-up projects and feasibility studies with institutional roadmaps for successful participation in the calls of the European Union’s research and innovation programme “European Horizon””.
