Euratom Programme (2014-2018) complementary to the Horizon 2020

1. Improve nuclear safety including: reactor and fuel safety, waste management, decommissioning, and emergency preparedness;

2. Improve nuclear security: nuclear safeguards, non-proliferation, combating

illicit trafficking, nuclear forensics; 3. Increase excellence in the nuclear science base for standardisation; 4. Foster knowledge management, education and training; 5. Support the policy of the Union on nuclear safety and security

(Regulation EURATOM No 1314/2013)

EURATOM specific objectives for direct actions:

JRC’s Vision, Mission and Role

Direct research:

JRC is the European Commission's in-house science

service and the only DG executing direct research to

provide science advice to EU policy.

As the science and knowledge service of the Commission, our mission is to support

EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle.

Serving society, stimulating innovation, supporting legislation

To play a central role in creating, managing and making sense

of collective scientific knowledge for better EU policies.

Nuclear safeguards & security facilities on the Ispra site

Network of about 30 organisations including + Intl. OBSERVERS

• national regulatory authorities (carrying out the controls),

• operators of nuclear facilities (those being controlled),

• research centres (carrying out the safeguards-related R&D).

• ESARDA Bulletin

• ESARDA website: https://esarda.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

• Conferences, workshops: 39th annual, Dusseldorf May 2017

• Annual ESARDA Course: Ispra Italy, March 2017

ESARDA main objective is to assist the European safeguards community with the advancement of safeguards, enhancing the efficiency of systems and measures. It also investigates how new technologies can be developed and implemented so that progress and continuous improvement in international safeguards can be achieved efficiently. ESARDA is a unique technical body working in a political environment. This makes this network an extraordinary tool for the use of its members.

Monitoring of radioactivity in the environment

REMdb Euratom Art 36 data base: (LEGAL OBLIGATION = LO)

On-line database that contains the environmental monitoring data from EU27 and

serves as basis to produce the “Monitoring Reports”. EANR European Atlas of Natural Radiation:

Atlas focussed on indoor radon (BSS 2013: radon action plan), but also covers information on

the components contributing to the natural background

ECURIE European Community Urgent Radiological Information Exchange: (LO) The official early notification system of the Commission. REM develops the software and

provides maintenance, training and technical assistance in case of exercise/emergency

EURDEP EUropean Radiological Data Exchange Platform: (LO) complementary to ECURIE, it continuously provides results from the automatic early warning

networks in Europe (37 countries); intense collaboration with IRMIS (IAEA)

CBRN Local atmospheric dispersion modelling (CBRN threats)

possibly expand towards equipment standardisation / measurement protocols (i.e. lab work)
