- serve as a reference centre for the fundamental

properties of nuclear materials

- to contribute towards effective safety and safeguards

systems for the nuclear fuel cycle

- to enhance nuclear security

- and to study technological and medical applications

of radionuclides.

Institutional budget (~ 45 M€) Means 12 M € / Specific 6 M € / Decommissioning 3 M €

- JRC EURATOM programme (85%)

Competitive activities (8-10 M€)

- EC’s FP7 indirect actions

- Support to Commission (15%)

- Work for Third Parties

Thank you !

Development of a comprehensive CBRN approach

that incorporates all international, regional and

national CBRN components into a common strategy

CBRN Centres of Excellence

For an Integrated Approach: Regional CBRN Centres of Excellence

Challenge

• Lack of harmonised national responses and fragmentation of responsibilities within the national, regional or international stakeholders.

Overall objectives

• To support a CBRN policy at regional and national levels;

• To strengthen the long term national and regional capabilities for CBRN risk mitigation ;

• To support and reinforce response capabilities to CBRN Challenges

whether from NATURAL, INCIDENTAL or INTENTIONAL origin

• To provide a coherent and integrated approach covering CBRN issues (e.g. export control, illicit trafficking, bio safety and security, emergency planning, crisis response, etc).
