MYRRHA within the EURATOM roadmap Roger GARBIL Acting Head of Unit DG Research and Innovation Euratom FissionEuropean Commission Roger.Garbil@ec.europa.eu MYRRHA Accelerator 1st International design review, SCK-CEN (Brussels, BE), 12-13/11/2012
Euratom Fission challenges • Safe and harmonised management of radioactive waste • Enhanced safety of design and operation of existing and future reactors • Lift uncertainty about health risks after low radiation dose due to industrial and medical applications • Ensure transfer of knowledge to future generation in the field • Integration of European research programming and implementation • Challenges need to be addressed worldwide
Euratom Fission objectives Research & Innovation indirect actions • support safe operation of nuclear systems • contribute to efficient solutions for the management of ultimate waste • Support development and maintain nuclear competences • foster radiation protection • ensure availability of research infrastructures
MYRRHA Strongly embedded in Euratom FP
