EURATOM Fission Info Session 15 September 2015 Contribute to the Development of Solutions for the Management of Radioactive Waste Research and Innovation Christophe Davies Project Officer European Commission DG Research and Innovation Unit G4 Fission Energy Christophe.davies@ec.europa.eu
Euratom R&T Horizon 2020 Framework Programme EU Council regulation No 1314/2013 Objectives in radioactive waste management and disposal : Safe, long-term solutions for the management of ultimate nuclear waste, incl. Geological Disposal and P&T Activity areas : joint and/or coordinated research activities on remaining key aspects of GD of SF and long-lived RW with, as appr., demo. of techn. and safety. Those activities are to promote the development of a common Union view on the main issues related to waste management from discharge of fuel to disposal." Research activities related to management of other radioactive waste streams for which industrially mature processes currently do not exist. Implementation will be mainly in 2-year Work Programmes (WP): WP 2014-2015 WP 2016-2017 WP 2018 (one year) WP 2019-2020 if Euratom is extended
2 nd call (WP 2016-2017): 3 topics in RWM NFRP 6: Addressing key priority R&I issues for the firstof-the-kind geological repositories NFRP 7: Research and innovation on the overall management of radioactive waste other than geological disposal. NFRP 8: Pan-European knowledge-sharing and development of competence in radioactive waste management

2 nd call (WP 2016-2017): Topics 1) NFRP 6: Key priority R&I issues for the first-of-the-kind geological repositories: IGD-TP SRA high priority topics, e.g. new and unconventional fuels, properties of engineered barrier materials and performance of engineered barrier systems. R&I actions, EUR 2 and 4 million / action 2) NFRP 7: R&I on the overall management of radioactive waste other than geological disposal: Characterisation, treatment, minimisation of volume and toxicity, quality control and checking of e,g, unconventional or legacy waste, operational wastes (incl. decommissioning/ dismantling waste); and long-term storage safety of waste and SF. R&I actions, EUR 2 and 4 million / action 3) NFRP 8: Pan-European knowledge sharing & development of competence on radioactive waste management: (transfer to countries or regions with less mature programmes) i.e. develop hands-on guidance & training material in management & economic aspects for RWM, incl. GD, S-o-A in S/T; a methodology for the transfer of knowledge, competence and technology. CS actions, EUR 1 and 2 million / action Proposals in topics 6 to 8 ranked in one budget cluster
