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.
In July, Graeme Weatherill from our partners GFZ presented the new Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) Testing toolkit.
In June, Marco Pagani from our partner GEM (Global Earthquake Model Foundation) gave a presentation on new and improved tools for PSHA.
In June, METIS project coordinator Irmela Zentner gave an overview of this project including key achievements to date.
