SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the programme are the following:
| 1. | To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the high flux reactor at Petten (HFR), in order to guarantee the availability of the neutron flux for experimental purposes. |
| 2. | To allow an efficient use of HFR by research institutes in a broad range of disciplines: improvement of safety of existing nuclear reactors, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer questions of medical research, nuclear fusion, fundamental research and training and waste management including the possibility to study the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for the new generation of reactor systems. |
