Proposal for a decision
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 Council, in particular in the areas of energy, European standards, education and training, environmental protection, health, material science, governance, common infrastructures, security and safety culture. 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.deleted

Annex – part I – section I.B – point 1

1. Geological disposal Objectives Through implementation-oriented research, to establish a sound scientific and technical basis for demonstrating the technologies and safety of disposal of spent fuel and long-lived radioactive wastes in geological formations, and to underpin the development of a common European view on the main issues related to the management and disposal of waste. Activities Geological disposal: Engineering studies and demonstration of repository designs, in situ characterisation of repository host rocks (in both generic and site-specific underground research laboratories), understanding of the repository environment, studies on relevant processes in the near field (waste form and engineered barriers) and far-field (bedrock and pathways to the biosphere), development of robust methodologies for performance and safety assessment and investigation of governance and societal issues related to public acceptance.deleted

2. Reactor systems Objectives To underpin the safe, efficient and more sustainable operation of all relevant reactor systems (including fuel cycle facilities) in use or under development in Europe, and to investigate ways of reducing the amount and/or hazard of the waste. Activities Nuclear installation safety: Operational safety of current and future nuclear installations, 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. 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. __________________ 14. responsible for supporting frontier research in all areas of science and technology.deleted It is understood that the ERC is

Human resources and training: Coordination of national programmes and provision for general training needs in ~~nuclear science and technology~~radiation protection and in the science and technology of decommissioning nuclear installations through a range of instruments, including competitive ones, as part of general support to human resources in all thematic domains. Includes support for training courses and training networks, and measures to make the sector more attractive to young scientists and engineers.
