17th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics

The Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) approach is the final outcome of research and development in nuclear system thermal-hydraulics; this is also the tip of the iceberg of competence in nuclear thermal-hydraulics or a cross-way into the thermal-hydraulics universe BEPU shall also be seen as an industrial product ready for applications in nuclear technology. The […]
