NUCLEAR RESEARCH

This specific programmes contains 2 sub-strands: the first focus on the Fusion energy research, and the realisation of the ITER reactor that will be built in Europe.
The objective of developing the technology for a safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible and economically viable energy source. Activities
will include the realisation of ITER (as an international research infrastructure), research &
development of the ITER operation, the technology activities in preparation of DEMO,
preparation of an international Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF).





The second strand concerns Nuclear Fission and radioprotection , with the objective of enhancing in particular the safety performance, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fission and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine. Activities will include:

* Management of radioactive waste

* Reactor systems

* Radiation protection

* Infrastructures

* Human resources, mobility and training



Other activites fall under the Joint Research Centre (JCR) such as
The second programme will cover the Activities of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) that elaborates a European strategy in the field of Nuclear Waste Management and Environmental Impact, Nuclear Safety of infrastructures and Nuclear Security
