Project FORTE Phase 1

Phase 1 was completed in 2019 and identified areas of Thermal Hydraulics research and development in the UK through the following programme.

All published deliverables from this work are available to download using the document picture links below or visit the publications site for all exportable documents

This work identified and reviewed the user requirements that should drive development of the UK thermal hydraulics capability.

A wide range of reactor developers, academic institutions, service providers and the UK regulatory body covering a diversity of reactor types and development aspirations were approached to provide feedback and input.

These user requirements were used to develop the specification documents for the test facility and model development.
