## Origin of Broader Approach Activities

-  **Joint Declaration**** ****at the**** ****Ministerial Meeting for ITER** (Moscow,28 June 2005)  ----  ITER Site,Contribution, and
-  **EU-JA Joint Paper**(Attachment to Joint Declaration)
-    Joint implementation of broader approach activities in the territory of the non-Host, on a time frame compatible with the ITER construction phase.
-   + Funding contribution:   46bnY, and 339mnE
-   + Candidate projects
-        IFMIF(EVEDA and/or Facility)
-        ITER research center(s): including
-           - computational simulation center for fusion science
-           - a center for remote experimentation
-        Fusion power plant technology co-ordination center, including a
-          center for international design activities for the demonstration
-          reactor
-        A new plasma experimental device (Satellite Tokamak)

## 
The Broader Approach project(s) will be chosen by the non-Host from the above-mentioned projects.

Projects which are not included in the above list could be chosen at the initiative of the non-Host provided that they contribute to a rapid realization of fusion energy and the Host and non-Host jointly decide to undertake them.

           2005)”

Start of BA Discussion between EU and JA:  July 21, 2005 at Garching
Since then, numerous number of legal and technical experts meetings and governmental negotiation meetings have been held to develop agreed plans on BA activities.

## Summary
 Three Projects are identified suitable for Broader Approach
   Activities between EU and Japan. They are:
       IFMIF/EVEDA, IFERC and JT-60SA
 Possible schedule for initial and subsequent procedure for signature 
  and ratification of the Agreement will be fixed quite soon.
 Establishment of Steering Committee, Nomination of  Implementing
  Agency, Project Leader, and Project Team Members have to be made
  in near future.
 Preparatory work has been started such as discussion on IFERC, 
  review of conceptual design of JT-60SA, IFMIF/EDEDA design, etc.
 The BA Activities are open to other ITER members and their 
   participation will be welcome.
