Objective Over the last few years there has been a growing world-wide interest in the use of accelerated radioactive ion beams (RIB) for nuclear physics, astrophysics, atomic and solid state physics. The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NUPECC) has recommended that high priority be given to the development of RIB-facilities in different centres in Europe, and that strong collaborations be developed. For several reasons cyclotrons are first choice accelerators both for the production and the post-acceleration of exotic nuclei. JINR/FLNR (Dubna, Russia) has an outstanding tradition of many decades in the design and the construction of cyclotrons. Today, four heavy ion cyclotrons, U-400, U-200, IC-100 and a new high energy, high intensity U-400M are operating. The international programme advisory committee for heavy ion physics of JINR/FLNR has recommended that priority be given to the development of the external ECR ion sources, axial injection system and monochromatic beam lines for the U-400M. The main objective of the project is the production of radioactive nuclei with the upgraded U-400M and their acceleration with an upgraded U-400. A crucial step in the production of a large variety of radioactive nuclei for subsequent acceleration in any RIB-facility is the development of a suitable target which is able to evacuate the large amount of beam power, which minimises the production of radioactive waste, and which allows fast and efficient extraction of the produced elements, etc. This project will consist in the realisation of the axial injection in the U-400M cyclotron and at the development of a new concept of gas target for the production of radioactive nuclei with high-energy heavy ion beams.
