The 1st call for proposals for the LACOMECO (Large-scale experiments on core degradation, melt retention and containment behaviour) FP7 project has been launched. The objective is to provide research institutions from EU Member States (except Germany) and Associated States with access to 4 experimental facilities: QUENCH (quench behaviour of fuel rod simulators), LIVE (melt behaviour in vessel lower head), DISCO-H (direct containment heating) and HYKA (hydrogen behaviour and mitigation). Access is provided free of charge to interested users or user groups, including all infrastructural, logistical, technical and scientific support needed to perform selected experiments. Travel and visit subsistence costs may also be covered.
