Dear JRC NCPs colleagues,<\/p>\n
We are pleased to inform you that the Laboratory for environmental & mechanical materials assessment<\/strong> of the Joint Research Centre launched 4 calls to access its nuclear facilities to researchers and scientists from EU Member States and to countries associated to the Euratom Research Programme (UK and Ukraine).<\/p>\n Environmental & Mechanical Materials Assessment<\/p>\n To ensure safe operations, it is crucial that nuclear reactor components like reactor vessels, heat exchangers, pipes and fuel claddings are able to function reliably for very long time during operation of a nuclear reactor. Material testing is central to demonstrate safety and is by necessity generally based on accelerated tests with higher loads, temperatures or more aggressive environments than encountered during operation of the reactor, while at the same time using also small material samples. The JRC\u2019s environmental and mechanical materials assessment (EMMA) facilities in Petten, the Netherlands, support the development of European and International codes & standards for components and materials used in current and next-generation nuclear reactors. The EMMA facilities focus on material testing at high temperatures and in corrosive environments using test samples from the micro to the macro-scale. Most of the research is linked to international and European projects involving national research laboratories, academia as well as industry. The development of a European standard for the miniature test, \u201cEN 10371 metallic materials \u2014 small punch test method\u201d, led by EMMA scientists, is an example of a recent achievement. The open access to the EMMA facilities started in 2020.<\/p>\n Priority topics of AMALIA Priority topics of SMPA Priority topics of LILLA Priority topics of MCL Support of users for travel and subsistence For more details, eligibility, support and guidance please access the dedicated call page: https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/jrc\/en\/research-facility\/open-access<\/a><\/p>\n Please spread the news widely among your networks.<\/p>\n Best regards,\n
