MYRRHA within the EURATOM roadmap MYRRHA Accelerator 1st International design review, SCK-CEN (Brussels, BE), 12-13/11/2012 Roger GARBIL Acting Head of Unit DG Research and Innovation Euratom Fission European Commission

EuratomFission 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

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 EuratomFission objectives FP7ETPsERAINCOH2020
