The first period of the SARNET2 project (follow-up of the SARNET FP6 project) in the 7th European Framework Programme has now finished after one year. A new partner has recently joined the network: KINS from Korea. The preparation of the 4th SARNET Conference, foreseen in May 2010, is under way. Many joint R&D tasks, gathering several partners, have been launched in this period like benchmarks between codes or state of the art reports. Several experiments are also today in preparation in order to bring new data and understanding on the most important severe accident phenomena.
