Inthe1982 budget Item 7341 (Thermonuclear fusion -Indirect action )
carries 63,665 million ECUincommitment appropriations and49/665million ECU
inpayment appropriations forthe1979-83 programme .Pending approval ofthe
newprogramme for1582-86 thebudgetary authority entered inChapter 100a
reserve of27,5 million ECUincommitment appropriations and2,5million ECU
inpayment appropriations .Theuseofthepayment appropriations from this
reserve isvirtually automatic since itisstated intheremarks column that
"Ifthe Council has not taken adecision onthenew fusion programme bythe
endofJune 1982 ,thepayment appropriation of2.500.000 ECUcould ba
transferred toItem 7341 "bomeet commitments entered into under the existing
programme ".
With respect toItem 7342(Participation intheJETjoint undertaking )thesum
entered inthebudget is66,7 million ECU ,while thereserve inChapter 100
forthenewprogramme is16million ECU .
TheCouncil meanwhile adopted thenewFusion /jetprogramme (1982-86 )atits
meeting on25May1982 .
The Commission therefore needs tohave atitsdisposal the reserve appropriation ?
inChapter 100forimplementing this programme ,theobjects ofwhich ,byway
ofindirect action (item 7341 ),areinparticular tos
–continue asubstantial research programme onTokamaks with aview to
producing ademonstration reactor (DEMO )5
–concentrate afair amoirnt ofeffort ,subject toavailable resources ,on
substitution confinement systems which might result inafusion reactor ;
–initiate studies ondefining HEDT (Next European Torus )seen ,asthesingle
stage between JET andDEMO andpress ahead with thework ofdeveloping the
necessary technology .
Sweden hasbeen associated with this programme since May1976 ,Switzerland
since 1978 andSpain since July I98O .
TheaimoftheJETproject (item 7342 )istoconstruct ,operate andexploit ,
aspart oftheFusion programme andforthebenefit oftheparticipants ,a
large facility oftheTokamak type anditsauxiliary facilities inorder to
extend theparameter range applicable tocontrolled thennonvcleri' fusion
experiments uptoconditions close tothose needed inatherionuclear reactor .
TheJETundertaking wassetup,pursuant toChapter Vofthe3uratom Treaty ,
inorder tocarry outthis project ,with theCommunity bearing 80%ofthe
cost .
Twonon-member countries ,Sweden andSwitzerland ,paypart oftheCommunity
contribution under theCooperation Agreements signed with Euratom *,

The financial requirements are asfollows :
Item 7341 (Thermonuclear fusion –Indirect action ):
27.500 •000ECU incommitment appropriations
2.5OO .OOOECU inpayment appropriations –from Chapter 100
Item 7342 (Participation intheJETjoint undertaking )
14*300.000 ECU incommitment andpayment appropriations .
