Simulating capabilities of the SPES3 facility

This report has been iussed within the frarnework of the PAR2008-09 research program of the ENEA-MSE agreement and it is one of the deliverables of the task A "Prova integrale SPES-3 per reattori modulari di piccola-media taglia" of the work program LP2 "Reattori evolutivi". This document reports the needs, from the experiment point of view, for SMR deveIopment. In particular, it deals with the evaluation of the capability of SPES-3 facility to simulate advanced light water SMRs under development. The first part of the report summarizes information provided in a variety of recent publications about plants of potentially interest and their integraI facilities under design, construction or operation. The second part describes the scaling analysis methods and criteria utilised for SPES-3 scaling, and deals with the assessment of the capability of SPES-3 to simulate other SMRs.
