number of FP5 projects, show promising safety features and transmutation-performance of novel fuels. Many outstanding issues related to reactor safety, burn-up behaviour and fuel performance under operating conditions will be dealt with in this project. The accuracy of numerical analyses and methods will be proved by simulation of irradiation experiments and benchmarking, basing on the results from post-irradiation examinations and radiochemical analyses. Burning waste and plutonium LWR-DEPUTY builds on research performed in FP5 and will ensure continuity and build strong European competence in this area of nuclear science and technology essential for current safety and future energy supply concerns. The project could offer a method to reduce nuclear waste production in current nuclear power plants with clear benefits for society. The LWR-DEPUTY contributes to the construction of a European research area in nuclear science. The involvement of training activities within LWR-DEPUTY is also an important contribution to the continuity of nuclear activities in Europe.

44 NUDAME The NUDAME project is a transnational access programme based at the Joint Research Centre – Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (JRC-IRMM) at Geel in Belgium. The project has facilitated access for outside research teams across Europe to the services and equipment of the Neutron Physics Unit, promoted the coherent use of this high-quality measurement infrastructure in order to meet their neutron data requests and generated some exciting new science. 3000 beam hours JRC-IRMM is equipped with a unique scientific infrastructure for highly accurate neutron cross-section measurements at two accelerator facilities. With the support of Euratom FP6 JRC-IRMM had opened these world-class scientific tools to the wider academic world by offering a total of 3000 supplementary data acquisition hours to external users over a three-year period. In response, over 22 experiments were proposed by external users with a total beam time request that exceeded the available time by around 2.5 times. The programme advisory committee established under NUDAME approved 18 of the proposed experiments but all were allocated a much reduced beam time. Some 94 % of the supported scientists were making use of the JRC-IRMM facility for the first time. Unique scientific tools NEUTRON DATA MEASUREMENTS AT IRMM JRC NEUTRON FACILITIES OPEN TO ALL Proposals for experiments were submitted and evaluated by the NUDAME Programme Advisory Committee for three experimental periods: September 2005 to March 2006; April 2006 to March 2007; and April 2007 to March 2008. The typical duration of each experiment was two weeks during which the external scientific users could make use of the measurement infrastructure at JRC-IRMM and were supported by a local contact person. The GELINA facility, showing some of the 12 flight paths for neutron time-of-flight measurements The JRC-IRMM has a unique scientific infrastructure for accurate neutron data measurements. Two instruments are of particular interest. GELINA is a 150 MeV electron accelerator that serves as a strong ‘white’ neutron source for high resolution time-of-flight measurements. This facility covers the energy range up to 20 MeV with an unsurpassed time resolution of less than one nanosecond. GELINA serves an array of neutron flight paths up to 400 metres long and can handle as many as 12 simultaneous experiments. The 7 MV Van de Graaff facility is an electrostatic accelerator that can produce continuous or pulsed proton, deuteron and helium ion beams. Six beam lines and experimental set-ups are available and quasi mono-energetic neutrons in the energy region 0-24 MeV can be produced for experimental analysis. After execution of the experiments, the data are analysed by the participating scientists at their home institutions. All experiments and results will be published in the open literature. A wide range of experiments © EC-JRC-IRMM A number of different experiments have been executed, ranging from high-resolution measurements at the GELINA time-of-flight facility to activation measurements, neutron flux measurements, detector calibration, and fission measurements at the Van de Graaff facility.
