New Guidelines
I
Nuclear Section

Topic -Nucear Safety
This topic iscurrently subdivised asfollows :
-Reactor Safety : – – 308 RS (1)
itself broken down into two objectives :
.Safety oflight-water reactors 186 RS
.Safety offast breeder reactors 122 RS
-Fuel-cycle Safety ,itself broken down into three objectives
.Safety ofnuclear materials 52HS
.Fissile materials control andmanagement 55RS
.Plutonium fu.els and actinide 177 RS
1.Objective -Reactor Safety I
I
Inthenewprogramme ,theresources forthis objective |areredeployed
toallow simultaneous execution ofthe projects considered bythe
Council tomerit priority ,i.e.,Super-SARA ,LOBI andPAHR .
The remaining funds are concentrated onthose parts ofthe present
activities which ,with the three major projects just mentioned ,
will form consistent and significant programmes intheEuropean context .
Thus the research staff allocated tothe objective Safety of
light-water reactors (including Super-SARA and LOBI)isupfrom
186 RSto262 RS,
anincrease of76RS. '
Ontheother hand (and this isnot the outcome ofaprogramme
strategy but ofinternal contraints ,mainly the shortage of
specialist staff )the total staff for the objective Safety of
fast-breeder reactors ,despite anappreciable intensification of
thePahr project ,sees its total isdown from
122 RSto98RS,
aréduction of24PS.
(1)"RS"denotes "research staff ",theunit used bytheCouncil inits
programme Decisions .The total staff complement oftheJRC is
slightly more than double the number ofRS.

TheCommission will make every effort toexecute itsshared-cost
research programme insuch away astoattenuate oreven cancel out
the adverse effects ofthis drop .
Overall ,theReactor Safety objectives goes upfrom
308 RSto360 RS,
i.e.,anincrease of +52RS
Itisimpossible tofind all thenecessary skills inside theJRC
and ,despite theinevitable abandonment ofanumber ofactivities
(even though they were appreciated bytheACPMs ),there remains
ashortfall tobecovered byrecruitment from outside .
1.2 .Objective -Safety ofNuclear Materials
This objective isincluded inthe 12-year framework programme on
00
radioactive wastes adopted bythe Council and ,atfirst sight ,
requires nosubstantial rethinking .However ,the transfer ofa
team toSuper-SARA means that the Actinide Separation project under
this objective must beabandoned and the remainder ofthe activities
reorganized ,priority being given totheprojects onRisk Evaluation
and Protective Barriers ,especially geological (continental and
submerged )barriers .
Theresearch staff are therefore bein transferred away from this
programme ,but some shared-cost projects are inview tomaintain
thelevel oftheCommunity effort . ^
The staff complement therefore goes down from
52RSto42RS,
i.e.,aréduction of 10RS
I
1.3 .Objective -Fissile Materials Control andManagement I
t
This activity ,which isfully inline with therequirements of
Euratom Safeguards ,does notcall foranyreal changes .Inanycase ,
thestaff members carrying outthis research donotpossess theskills
required forthemajor projects Super-SARA ,L0BI andPAHR .
•••/•••
(1)docSEC182L »3lQof24.2 .1982 -(framework program )

-8-
Consequently ,itisproposed that thestudies inprogress should
continue attheir present level (55RS),but that thetechnical
content begiven agreater degree ofsophistication (advanced
technologies )andbedeveloped soastoprovide abetter organized
back-up service fortheSafeguards Autorities . 1
The staff complement remains atthepresent level of 55RS.
1.4 .Objective -Plutonium Fuels and Actinide Research '
This objective isthebasic activity ofthe Karlsruhe 'Establishment
and isfocussed more particularly onfast-breeder reactors .
Consideration isnow being given tothegreater involvement of
the staff ofthis Establishment inresearch into light-water
reactor safety and fuel-cycle safety ,this could result inthe jobs
being more evently shared outbetween Karlsruhe and Ispra .
Intheimmediate future ,themeasures adopted merely abolish
asupporting activity atIspra which has become marginal ;consequently ,
the staff complement goes down fronj.117 to112 RS.
1.5 .Summary
The nuclear Safety programme therefore shows the following changes :
from 186 to262 RSforLWR safety ;
from 122 to 98RSforFBR safety
from 224 to209 for fuel-cycle safety .
The share ofNuclear Safety intheJRC'stotal activities goes up
from 48%(532 RSout ofatotal of1.110)to49,4 %(569 RSout
ofatotal of1.152 ).The difference isnotgreat ,but Super-SARA
alone then accounts for 13,5 %ofthe RSassigned totheJRC and
23%ofthose allocated toNuclear Safety . ^
Thecuts made inthenuclear safety activities are not
entirely disavantageous ,since they fitinto amore positive programme
strategy ;although several activities regarded aspromising have tobe
abandoned ,this reorganisation never the less consolidates theposition

oftheJRC inthe field oflight-water reactor safety and streamlines
activities inthe fields offissila materials control and risk
evaluation inconnection with the storage ofradioactive wastes .
Theposition oftheJRC inthese three fields isstrenghtened by
anumber ofvery important contracts forcooperation with bodies
outside theCommunity andwith themain national centres inside
the Community .
Various agreements have already been concluded ;there will becloser
cooperation onSuper-SARA with theUSNRC^andwith those carrying
out themain experiments onlight-water reactor safety inthe
Member States .
Topic -Nuclear measurements and nuclear reference materials and methods
1.Nuclear measurements
I
Nonotable changes areplanned for this programme ,which isexecuted
entirely attheGeel Establishment '(CBNM )andissubdivided into
two objectives sthe measurement ofnuclear constants and the
<
preparation ofnuclear reference materials andtechniques .
Inview ofthe experience gained bytheCBNM inthese research
and service functions itisreasonable toconsider extending this
Establishment' sactivities tonon-nuclear reference materials and
methods .
Special measures areplanned forthis andthegeneral guidelines
aredescribed inChapter 5.D.
Thestaff complement forthenuclear activities remains unchanged
at108 RS.
COMMENTS
Before turning tonon-nuclear activities ,itseems desirable toput
into context theactivities involved inthereactor safety programme
after theproposed reorganization .

-9bis -
Expenditure ontherevised programme onlight-water reactor safety
for theperiod 1983-87 issome 300million ECU ,including Super-SARA ,
LOBI ,etc .,equivalent to13,5 %ofthe total JRC staff costs and
15%inthebudget for this total .
Assuming that the Super-SARA project runs from 1981 to1990 ,its
overall cost could amount tosome 250-300 million ECU .
This isalarge sumbut ithas tobeviewed against the turnover
oftheEuropean light-water reactor industry .Bythe end ofthe
century theCommunity plans toequip itself with about another
lOOGigawatts ofnuclear electricity capacity (including 55GWalready
covered byfirm orders ).This represent aninvestment ofabout
150 .OOO million ECU over the next twenty years .

ConnrT.it ion with USN'KC onthe Su»er-SAKA Project
Kecont discussions with USNRC have indicated that ,follow­
ing budgetary restrictions imposed on this or2an.1satj.on ,
acertain readjustment ofthe term ofcooperation envisaged
sofar must beconsidered .
Inthe new scheme -which must still henegotiated inde­
tail with the U.S. authorities -the essential modalities
would bothe following :
-USNRC 'no longer furnishes test trains for the programme ;
onthe other hand itwould supply services insupport
tothe project execution -namely inthe area ofsafety
analysis -and access tothe relevant know-how ;
-USNRC assures free availability ofthe results from the
entire PHF programme ,within the terms ofthe cooperation ;
-the Commission places atthe disposal ,pfthe USNRC all
the results from the Super-SARA project .
Although the Commission regrets the reduction ofthe USNRC
supply of harwarc ,itconsiders that this cooperation
remains asignificant element ofthe j.nternat ional coope­
ration inthe field ofreactor safetv .

ADVICE OFTHE GENERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
During themeeting oftheGeneral Advisory Committee on28April ,1982
theDirector General oftheJRCpresented theproposals which aim at :
-theintegration oftheJRCprogramme intheoverall strategy of
Community research anddevelopment and theframework programme
which isbeing constructed ;
-coming toterms without delay with theshortage ofboth financial and
manpower resources inthe conduct oftheproject Super-SARA ;
-maintaining abalance between thedifferent areas ofresearch in
which the JRC isworking ;
-increasing theefficiency ofthe JRC and improving the impact ofits
results byafurther concentration oncurrent important themes .
The Committee :
1.Whilst regretting that the real 'situation ofthis programme execution;'
hasbeen revealed solate ,expresses itssatisfaction forthequality
ofthepreparatory work which has ledtothere-evaluation ofthe
Supei–SARA project ; ■
2.Judges that thematch between financial andmanpower ressources and
theprogramme proposals isprobably far more realistic than was the case
oftheprevious Commission proposals ;
3.Requests theJRC toexamine once more thecontents and thebalance
between the components ofthe reactor safety programme ;
!
A.Insists that whatever theresources finally made available tothe
JRC ,theshould allow theproper exectuion oftheapproved programmes ,
taking account ofthebest estimates ofthereal needs forthis execution .

OPINION EXPRESSED BYTHE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE OFEURATOfl
CONCERNING THEREORIENTATION OFTHEJRCPROGRAMME DURINGi ITSMEETING !
OF30th APRIL 1982 . . . ;
• I
The Committee regretted being put inaposition toexpress anopinion
onthis difficult subject atsuch short notice which did r|otgive members
either time orinformation toassess insufficient depth the relative merits
ofthevarious components ofthe total research programme .
However itwas themajority view that theSuper SARA Project should proceed
and itisourstrong recommendation inview ofthedoubts brought about by
thechanged circumstances interms ofmoney andmanpower that afinal
decision andauthority tocommit thenecessary manpower and finance betaken
attheearliest possible date tomaintain the project momentum .
The Committee :
1.Recognizes the technical and financial interest ofthe Super SARA project
forthereactor manufacturers -,theutilities and the licensing authorities .
2.Recognizes that theresults expected from theSuper SARA test programme are
complementary tothework going oninother research establishments . .j.
3.While itcould not express aquantitative opinion onthe resources i
necessary ,however recommends that theCommission use their best
endeavours to :
3.a)limit additional permanent staff asfaraspossible ;
3.b)draw onexternal qualified manpower ; ■
3.c)make usewherever possible ofexisting manpower working on
non-nuclear programmes ; j
3.d)avoid reducing unduly the Fast Breeder Reactor programme .
4.Supports inbroad outline theproposed rearrangement oftheNuclear '
Component ofthe programme .

TheCommittee expressed concern attherisk toprogramme and costs ofthe .
remaining unknowns and inparticular stressed theneed ^or .timely completion
ofthesafety case and oftheclearance ofthis with thelicensing authority .
TheCommittee stressed theneed toinsure that inthis area ofsafety ardsafet >
analysis theresources necessary should bemade available totheproject .
TheCommittee concluded bystressing theimportance fortheCommunity
ofsafe andsuccessfull completion oftheSuper SARA programme .
