tailieunhanh - Advances on GenIV structural and fuel materials and cross-cutting activities between fission and fusion

This paper describes six projects, most of which are part of the research portfolio of the EERA JPNM, devoted to qualification, modelling and development of structural and fuel materials for advanced and innovative nuclear systems, with also two examples of projects addressing issues of cross-cutting interest through fusion and fission. | Advances on GenIV structural and fuel materials and cross-cutting activities between fission and fusion EPJ Nuclear Sci.

This paper describes six projects most of which are part of the research portfolio of the EERA JPNM devoted to qualification modelling and development of structural and fuel materials for advanced and innovative nuclear systems with also two examples of projects addressing issues of cross-cutting interest through fusion and fission. The main conclusion is that the benefit of the coordination under the umbrella of in this case the EERA JPNM is clearly felt in terms of better alignment of national programmes and subsequent leveraging of institutional funding to integrate Euratom support. Likewise the benefit of addressing specific issues of common interest for fusion and fission is not only beneficial because of cross-fertilisation but also because it allows more rational use of human and infrastructural resources avoiding duplications. 1 Introduction Thermo-nuclear fusion represents
