METIS is a Horizon 2020 project whose mission is to develop and improve tools and methodologies employed in seismic safety assessments of nuclear reactors and translate this research into practice for industry use. The project will also develop common guidelines to facilitate periodic safety reviews, promote good practices under the Nuclear Safety Directive and enable risk-informed decision-making, and as a result, directly contribute to the safety and competitiveness of the European nuclear industry.
With this newsletter we invite you to learn more about the project’s latest developments and the partners’ achievements as we near the end of the project. Please check our recent advances to improve the seismic risk assessment analysis chain, from hazard and ground motion to site response, fragility, and risk quantification and explore our upcoming and final events.

Within the scope of WP6, models for several structures, systems, and components (SSCs) of the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) facilities were developed. These include the Reactor Building, Diesel Generator Building (DGB), Filter Containment Venting System (FCVs), Transformer, Control Monitor Cabinet (CMC), and Pump.

In the framework of METIS project, an integrated approach was developed where the hazard is evaluated on reference or bedrock level and where the site response can be introduced in a graded framework by means of 1D or multidimensional analysis as described in METIS D5.3.
