  1. National Contact Points for EURATOM-Information Exchange MeetingOctober 16, 2002 - Brussels, CCAB Expressions of Interest 2002 - Assessment Summary Nuclear Energy Research and Training Programme Priority Thematic Area 2.2 ‘Management of Radioactive Waste’1 Priority Thematic Area 2.3 ‘Radiation Protection’2 1Michel Raynal - DG RTD/J/4 - e-mail: michel.raynal@cec.eu.int 2Ernst Hermann Schulte - DG RTD/J/4 - e-mail: ernst-hermann.schulte@cec.eu.int D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  2. Expressions of Interest (EoI) Content of presentation • Objectives for submitting EoI • The assessment process • initial assessment by the EC services • formal assessment by experts panel • Results by thematic priority areas • General statistics • Results by research topics • Conclusions on the EoI exercise D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  3. Expressions of Interest Purpose Consult research community on its readiness to prepare actions using the new instruments (NoE and IPs) in order to: • assist in the preparation of work programme • assist in determining the scope of first calls • facilitate integration of key players D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  4. Expressions of Interest Main steps in the process Invitation to submissions 21 March 2002 Deadline for submissions 07 June 2002 Assessment by experts June-July 2002 Publication on CORDIS 29 Sept. 2002 D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  5. Expressions of Interest Assessment process • Pre-assessment by Commission servicesSorting and tracking eligible EoI by research topic • Assessment by experts (5 external + 2 EC) • Individual assessment of each EoI • Individual assessment of all EoI relevant to each research topic • Panel assessment in a ‘consensus’ meetingAssessment of all EoI eligible in each research topic • Reporting of results • Internal report • Publication on CORDIS D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  6. Expressions of Interest Assessment criteria for instruments D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  7. Expressions of InterestResults on CORDIShttp://www.cordis.lu/fp6/eoi-analysis.htm • Statistics • “Readiness” for implementation using new instruments • Data base of submitted EoI http://eoi.cordis.lu/search_form.cfm D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  8. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteStatistics 103 EoI submitted 43 EoI submitted addressing “other activities” or out of scope 60 EoI cover the objectives of the research areas: Geological Disposal Partitioning and Transmutation & other concepts to produce less waste 26 EoI suitable for the new instruments (4 NoE / 22 IPs ) 34 EoI more suitable for “classical” instruments D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  9. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteStatistics Distribution of EoI between: D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  10. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteStatistics Distribution of EoI between: D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  11. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteResults 1. Geological Disposal (22 EoI = 4 NoE, 18 IPs)NoE to cover cross-cutting activities Improvement of fundamental knowledge of key processesTo be covered by a few IPs Developing and testing disposal technologyTo be covered by an IP New and improved tools for performance & safety assessmentTo be covered by an IP; other IPs need coupling with research on processes Governance processes: public concern to waste disposal“Classical” instruments more suitable for this topic D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  12. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteResults 2. Partitioning & Transmutation Largely covered, but only 4 IPs are suitable Suggestion: make separation between Partitioning: to be covered by an IP Transmutation: to be covered by one/several IP(s) ‘Impact of P&T on waste management and geological disposal’:targeted project more suitable for “classical” instruments D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  13. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteResults 3. Concepts to produce less waste No EoI suitable for implementation using the new instruments Topic would be best implemented using “classical” instruments D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  14. EoI - Management of Radioactive WasteSummary Readiness for implementation using the new instruments are summarised as follows: 1 More suitable for “classical” instruments D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  15. EoI - Radiation Protection Main Statistics 99 EoI received 74 formally assessed Distribution between instruments ~70% IP, ~ 25% NoE Distribution among submitting organisations Research - 55% University - 24% Industry - 7% Other - 14% D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  16. EoI - Radiation Protection Epidemiological studies - 9% Cellular and molecular biology - 13% Medical exposures - 18% Natural sources - 16% Protection of the environment - 7% Radioecology - 14% Risk management - 6% Emergency management - 11% Protection of the workplace - 6% D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  17. EoI - Radiation Protection Main outcomes • only a small number “ready” or “mature” • no NoE “ready” - instrument not understood • most submissions not of sufficient scope, importance or ambition for new instruments • process disappointing in narrow context • process highly useful in a broader context D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  18. EoI - Radiation Protection Topics “ready” for implementation using IPs • Epidemiological studies • Cellular and molecular biology • Medical exposures (in part) • Protection of the environment • Emergency management D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  19. EoI - Radiation Protection Topics with potential for becoming “ready” later • Radioecology • Protection of the workplace D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  20. EoI - Radiation Protection Topics not suitable for use of new instruments • Natural sources of radiation • Risk management D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  21. EoI assessment Conclusion on the exercise (1/2) Over 200 EoI treated in WM and RP WM: several EoI suitable for new instruments, covering well the objectives and aims of the priority thematic RP: only a small number suitable. Some topics to become “ready” later (Not sufficient scope or lack of ambition). NoE not well understood Suitable EoI in WM have the ambition to develop sound technical basis for the demonstration of the safety of the ‘geological disposal’, or to reduce hazard of the waste D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt

  22. EoI assessment Conclusion on the exercise (2/2) Non qualified EoI, i.e. neither sufficiently developed nor mature for early implementation in FP6, look moresuitable for ‘classical instruments’ (i.e.concepts to produce less waste) Training aspects are inherently part of research and should be kept in IPs and NoE D:\data\PowerPoint\Raynal\NCP-EURATOM Meeting - CCAB 16.10.02.ppt
