Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex – part I – section I.B – paragraph 1
Annex – part I – section I.B – paragraph 1
The overall objective is to enhance in particular the safety, performance, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fission and uses of radiation in industry and medicine. Indirect actions in nuclear fission and radiation protection will be undertaken in five principal areas of activity detailed below. There are important links with research in the Seventh Framework Programme of the Union adopted by Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council13 , in particular in the areas of energy, European standards, education and training, environmental protection, health, material science, governance, common infrastructures, security and safety culture, as well as with the nuclear fission proposals of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan endorsed by the Council in March 2008. International collaboration will be a key feature of the activities in many of the activity areas, in particular advanced nuclear systems that are being investigated in the Generation IV International Forum. __________________ 13.

Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex – part I – section I.B – point 2 – paragraph 2
Annex – part I – section I.B – point 2 – paragraph 2
Nuclear installation safety: Operational safety of current and future nuclear installations, taking into account particularly the research implications of the Fukushima accident, especially plant life assessment and management, safety culture (minimising the risk of human and organisational error), advanced safety assessment methodologies, numerical simulation tools, instrumentation and control, and prevention and mitigation of severe accidents, with associated activities to optimise knowledge management and maintain competences.
Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex – part I – section I.B – point 2 – paragraph 3
Annex – part I – section I.B – point 2 – paragraph 3
Advanced nuclear systems: Improved efficiency of present systems and fuels and the study of advanced reactor systems in order to assess their potential, proliferation resistance and impacts on long-term sustainability, including basic and key cross-cutting research activities (such as material science)14 and the study of the fuel cycle, innovative fuels and waste management aspects, including partitioning and transmutation the more efficient use of fissile material in existing reactors. The above activities should be geared to supporting the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII), launched at the Strategic Energy Technology Plan conference of the Belgian Presidency in November 2010, including the design of the key research demonstrators ASTRID, ALLEGRO, ALFRED and MYRRHA.
