SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the supplementary research programme are the following:
| 1. | To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the HFR, in order to guarantee the availability of the neutron flux for experimental purposes. |
| 2. | To allow the efficient use of the HFR by research institutes in a broad range of research areas: improvement of safety of nuclear reactors; health (including the development of medical isotopes); nuclear fusion; basic science; training; and waste management (including the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for reactor systems of interest to Europe). |
ANNEX II
BREAKDOWN OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS
The contributions to the supplementary research programme come from The Netherlands and France.
The breakdown of those contributions is as follows:
France: EUR 1,2 million
The Netherlands: EUR 29 million
Total: EUR 30,2 million.
Those contributions shall be made to the general budget of the European Union and shall be assigned to this programme. Part of the contributions under this supplementary programme may also cover expenditure made to the operation of the HFR during the year 2016 in accordance with the work programme to be agreed among the contributing Member States and the Commission.
Those contributions are firm and not revisable as regards variations related to operational, maintenance and decommissioning costs.
