currently exists ,then thecentre ofCADARACHE should be
included inthe same group .However ,inview ofthe
programme inprogress atFontenay -aux-Roses andits
forecast extensions ,theCommission judges theoperation
toremain delicate andcomplex .
ISPRA hasamodest competence infusion matters (work on
conceptual studies ).MOLhasnoexperience atallinthis
field .
Sufficient useofamotility contraot will allow researoh
workers tocontribute totheproject from acircle geo­
graphically dispersed ,butwith amaximum ofcompetence .
IntheCommission 'sopinion ,theJETmachine must notbe
considered asanoperation which demands the concentration
onthe site ofallthe satellite experiments which could
beassociated with it,but aspart ofaprogramme inwhich
allthelaboratories oftheCommunity which areinterested
indeveloping theTokamak line areengaged .
Asignificant distribution ofthework forJETbetween the
different Community laboratories seems ofbasic value ,both
toincrease thecohesion ofthese laboratories andtoengage
forJETthecollective responsibility ofthem all.
The Community Aspects
Taking into account themanagement structures already agreed
between allthePartners ,theautonomy andCommunity character
ofJET will beassured whiohever site ischosen .This applies
inparticular tothesoientifio ,industrial ,legal andad­
ministrative aspects ,tothediffusion ofinformation and
tothepatent provisions .However ,inorder torealise fully
these characteristics ,theCommission considers itnecessary
toensure that atruly Community team canbebrought together
onthesite ,with adequate Community services andfacilities *

Communityprogramme,requirethatamulti-national teamof

Inviewoftheglobaland.integrated ,natureof

Thecosts of "these lines arenotincluded intheaotual JET

3»4«7 »Theelectrical power thus made available involvest
–either thepossibility oftaking thepower directly from thenetwork
–ortheneed toresort totheinstallation ofrotating machinery
ifthepower furnished bythenetwork islimited .
Theoomparison ofinstallation costs forthetwosystems must be
1completed bytheoomparison oftheir operating costs .
Thetechnical data obtained ,both from study oontraots andfrom
independent analyses ,show that theinstallation costs ofsystems
taking theenergy directly from thenetwork axeless than when
rotating machines areused .Inanycase ofincident ,theformer
systems arequickly repairable whereas thereplacement ofrotating
machines can take much longer .
According totheinformation gathered by "theSite Committee ,the
ISPRA site makes itpossible totake 450MWfrom thenetwork ,
without anyneed toinstall compensating systems ,foralmost any
operating regime ofJET .Inthis respeot itoffers thebest
technical possibilities ,andatthemost only onerotating machine
ofsimple design would beneeded toprovide themaximum performance
forecast fortheproject .
Attheother sites ,onthebasis oftheSite Committee 'sinformation ,it
appears that oneormore supplementary rotating machines would have
tobeinstalled toprovide themaximum performance envisaged .
This gives areal economy ofabout 2.5MUAintheprojeot budget if
the ISPRA site ischosen .
Itshould benoted that ateach site other then ISPRA ,itwould be
possible toinstall supplementary lines topermit greater recourse
tothenetwork ,andsotolimit thenumber ofrotating machines ,
butthis implies ahigher oost tobeborne bythehost organisation
