The third call for proposals for research and technological development under the specific programme or research and training (Euratom) in the field of nuclear energy (1998 to 2002) (Key Action 2: nuclear fission).

This call relates to proposals called by a fixed deadline following which evaluation will take place. Proposals not having met this deadline will not be considered under this call notice.

Those eligible to participate in indirect RT actions (shared cost, concerted actions and thematic networks) under the specific programme, are hereby invited to submit proposals that address the following parts of the work programme:

Key Action 2 : Nuclear Fission

- Operational safety of existing installations
- - Plant life extension and management
- - Severe accident management
- - Evolutionary concepts

- Safety of the fuel cycle
- - Waste and spent fuel management and disposal
- - Partitioning and transmutation
- - Decommissioning of nuclear installations

- Safety and efficiency of future systems
- - Innovative and revisited concepts

- Radiation protection
- - Risk assessment and management
- - Monitoring and assessment of occupational exposure
- - Off-site emergency management
- - Restoration and long-term management of contaminated environments

Some 41 million euro is available to fund projects selected through this call for proposals.

Proposers are reminded that the above constitutes a change with respect to previous calls where deadlines applied to submission. Deadlines now apply to receipt by the Commission.

The Commission will offer a pre-proposal check service for this call, as described in the 'Guide for proposers'. Proposals for this service will not be accepted later than 1 December 2000.
Information on these rules and on how to prepare and submit proposals is given in the Guide for Proposers, which can be obtained, along with the work programme and other information relating to this call, from the European Commission using one of the following addresses:
