1-18 Institute for Safety and Reliability (ISaR)<br />

The ISaR Institute for Safety and Reliability is a scientific organisation in the field <strong>of</strong> safety- and<br />

reliability engineering with a focus on nuclear technology. Areas <strong>of</strong> particular interest are<br />

quantitative risk and reliability assessment, simulation <strong>of</strong> nuclear power plants, nuclear systems<br />

technology as well as interdisciplinary questions related to safety and reliability.<br />

Key missions <strong>of</strong> the institute are:<br />

- to perform applied research on safety and reliability issues related to the operation <strong>of</strong> nuclear<br />

power plants,<br />

- to develop and run solutions tailored to the German phase-out situation for high-level academic<br />

education in nuclear technology and for training <strong>of</strong> young nuclear pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />

A particular engagement concerns the transfer <strong>of</strong> knowledge to students and young pr<strong>of</strong>essionals by<br />

co-operating with the Technische Universität München in the education and specialization <strong>of</strong><br />

students in nuclear technology and by on-the-job training within the projects <strong>of</strong> the Institute.<br />

The ISaR Institute for Safety and Reliability is a limited liability company (GmbH) located at the<br />

research campus in Garching near Munich. Shareholder is the TUM-Tech GmbH, a technologytransfer<br />

organisation <strong>of</strong> the Technische Universität München. Funding is mainly provided by<br />

German utilities and by the Bavarian State Government. The Institute was founded in 2001 and<br />

started operation in January 2002.<br />

According to the Institute’s mission, ISaR staff is built <strong>of</strong> a group <strong>of</strong> highly qualified senior experts<br />

with long-standing experience and <strong>of</strong> an almost equal number <strong>of</strong> young scientists and engineers. At<br />

present, total staff is about 20 scientists and engineers.<br />

1-22 University <strong>of</strong> Stuttgart (IKE)<br />

The Universität Stuttgart is situated in the middle <strong>of</strong> a highly dynamic economic region with a<br />

worldwide reputation for excellency in the fields <strong>of</strong> mobile and information technology, production,<br />

process engineering as well as in life sciences. The Universität Stuttgart was founded in 1829, at the<br />

beginning <strong>of</strong> the industrial age in Europe, and will celebrate its 175 th anniversary in 2004. The<br />

cooperation between technical, physical and human sciences has always been an advantage <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Universität Stuttgart. Today the university is a modern, achievement-orientated institution with a<br />

comprehensive range <strong>of</strong> subjects and a focus on technical and physical disciplines. The maxim is not<br />

only „job-qualification“, but "technology, knowledge and education for mankind“, as the motto <strong>of</strong><br />

the Universität Stuttgart says.<br />

The 100 mio. Euro <strong>of</strong> annual third-party funding show that the university is a popular partner for<br />

European and German, federal and private organisations and the economy. 5.000 employees work in<br />

over 140 institutes,10 faculties and in central institutions; this makes the Universität Stuttgart one <strong>of</strong><br />
