Establishment of a Network of Excellence for Actinide Science

Objective

The proposed project is to prepare a Europe-wide network structure for advanced research on 'Actinide Sciences' for the further development of nuclear fuel cycle, including the safe disposal of nuclear waste. The network is envisaged to facilitate the coordination and utilization of "pooled" facilities for the research on actinide sciences but also consolidate and exploit the training and education possibilities in Europe.
The structure of the network will consist of the core-institutions and associated laboratories. Radiochemistry laboratories of universities and national laboratories can be associated members to join the individual subject areas of actinide research.
The advanced research on "Actinide Sciences" is one of the essential endeavours for the further development of nuclear fuel cycle, including the safe disposal of nuclear waste. For various reasons, the research activity in this subject area has been stagnated in the past in European countries. To sustain and disseminate the indispensable knowledge as well as to advance the research activity of actinide sciences in Europe, it is planned to build a Europe-wide networking for this particular research. The network is envisaged to facilitate the coordination and utilization of "pooled" facilities for the research on actinide sciences but also consolidate and exploit the training and education possibilities in Europe. To prepare such a networking in the rest period of the 5th framework programme is the main objective of the present proposal.
