CAREM 25
National Law 26566/2009
On 17th December 2009, the law declares of
national interest, inter alias, the design,
construction and start up of CAREM prototype,
establishing a special regime. CNEA was
entrusted to complete these tasks.
First, a prototype of an electrical output of about 27
MW, CAREM 25, will be constructed in order to
validate the innovation of CAREM concept and
then developed to commercial version.

CAREM 25 Licensing
In 2010 the ARN has approved a new licensing scheme for
prototype NPPs in the frame of non-routinary practice.
The aim is to ensure that CAREM Prototype reaches the
standards set forth in the applicable regulations taking into
account the peculiarities of a NPP that will be the first of the
kind.
CAREM 25 Licensing
The different radiation sources, normal operation
discharges and dispersion were evaluated.
The annual dose in the public was estimated to
verify the fulfillment of the requirements
established by AR 3.1.2 (Restriction of Radioactive
Effluents in Nuclear Power Plants) and AR 10.1.1
(Basic Radiation Safety Standard) for the
radiological impact due to normal operation.

A level 3 Probabilistic Safety Assessment was
performed.
The effective dose in the critical group due to
accidents and the annual probability was
estimated to verify the fulfillment of the
requirements established by AR 3.1.3
(Radiological Criteria Relating to Accidents in
Nuclear Power Plants).
