Abstract
This work presents the overall structure of the FRACTESUS project and the progress carried out so far. The project is part of the EURATOM work programme 2019-2020, topic NFRP-04: Innovation for Generation II and III reactors. The project developments will contribute to the long-term safe operation of nuclear power plants, addressing the goals of the European Union in terms of sustainable and green energy, where the decarbonisation of the energy system is a priority. FRACTESUS intends to demonstrate the reliability of measuring the fracture toughness of reactor pressure vessel steels by means of sub-sized specimens (e.g., 0.16 CT or mini CT specimens). This will allow, among others, to notably increase the number of specimens available in the surveillance programs of the nuclear power plants.
