Of key importance for the CANDIDE project is its aim to define critical nuclear data for the development of reactors with closed fuel cycles. These are reactors concepts that consume their own long-lived radioactive waste, and may be capable of incinerating the waste produced by other reactors as well. Public events A course for young professionals in the industry and two open workshops will be organised as part of the project. Although these activities are primarily targeting pro - fessionals, the public is welcome to attend them.

40 EFNUDAT EUROPEAN FACILITIES FOR NUCLEAR DATA MEASUREMENTS AN INTEGRATED NETWORK FOR NEUTRON DATA The EFNUDAT project is a consortium of ten European institutions offering diverse research infrastructures for differential neutron data measurements. The objective of the project is to integrate all the scientific and technical efforts needed for high quality nuclear data measurements. Such measurements are required to support high-level radioactive waste transmutation studies and design studies for future generation IV nuclear reactor systems that aim to produce significantly less radioactive waste during operation. Nuclear measurement, integrated expertise The aim of EFNUDAT is to integrate all infrastructure-related aspects of nuclear data measurements across Europe and to provide access for external users to the participating facilities. The project is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative with ten major European nuclear research institutions from France, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the Czech Republic comprising the EFNUDAT consortium. The project’s main objective is to promote the coherent use and integration of the infrastructure-related services of its partners via networking and transnational access. These services encompass both the facilities themselves and joint research activities. Quality infrastructure access The most important goal of the EFNUDAT consortium is to increase the quality and the quantity of access to the relevant nuclear data facilities that are involved in the consortium. To achieve this, EFNUDAT is structured as a consistent and complementary ensemble of 15 activities. These activities include three networking activities that are designed to optimise the use of the consortium facilities for nuclear data measurements as well as the analysis and dissemination of results. In addition, nine transnational access activities will procure approximately 4000 additional beam hours within the various facilities for external users to carry out nuclear data measurements. Finally, three joint research activities will be used to raise the performance of the facilities and the efficiency of their use. The final goal of all these networking activities is to strengthen Europe’s excellence in the nuclear data domain and to guarantee its future. In particular, they will focus the services that are provided by the experimental facilities in a direction that is vital for the design studies required for radioactive waste transmutation and for generation IV future nuclear reactor systems. The combination of the three types of activities will validate the importance of the different facilities and create a stable ‘customer base’ for their future use in the field of nuclear data measurements. A website will be established to help the rapid transfer of knowledge within and beyond the partnership. EFNUDAT should not be seen as a stand-alone project, but as part of the coherent package of projects on nuclear waste treatment within Euratom FP6 and previous framework programmes. The networking activities within EFNUDAT will promote information exchange and search for synergies with other related FP6 projects, such as EUROTRANS and CANDIDE. Solid partnership for improved coordination EFNUDAT will build a solid partnership between the various experimental facilities and between the facilities and their stakeholders. All relevant experimental facilities in Europe are involved. Because the infrastructures and user groups have an envisaged lifetime far beyond the duration of the project, the partnership will have a long-term impact. A large part of EFNUDAT resources will be used to trigger or improve collaboration, exchange of ideas and mobility of researchers. This will have positive effects that are also expected to last much longer than the project itself: for example a common system for coordination of experiments and promoting access to infrastructures. The essence of the work performed within EFNUDAT is to improve the coordination between experimental facilities in Europe that will provoke a better response to the measurement needs addressed by nuclear data users. The most urgent data needs are collated in the ‘High Priority List’ maintained by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). Therefore, close cooperation with the NEA Data Bank and the Nuclear Data Centre (NDC) of the International EURATOM FP6 RESEARCH PROJECTS AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES Volume III
