In accordance with the provisions of Article 99 of the Staff Regulations, 
the appointing authority has granted, for 1982, bonuses for exceptional 
service to certain officials and temporary staff who occupy a post in the 
field of nuclear science calling for scientific or technical qualifications 
and who are paid from research and investment appropriations. The bonus 
unit is Bfrs 50 000.
The recipients have been selected on the following criteria:
(a) outstanding work, usually published (excluding patented and exploited 
inventions, which are covered by Article 94 of the Staff Regulations);
(b) special performance (sustained efforts in connection with experiments 
and various studies);
(c) special behaviour under particular circumstances (industrial accident, 
fire, contamination).
The figures in the three tables attached specify:
Annex I
The amount, total number and number by grade of recipient of the bonuses 
awarded, giving a breakdown by establishment and department.
