EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

On 19 February 2004, the Council adopted a three-year supplementary research programme to 
be  implemented  by  the  Joint  Research  Centre  for  the  European  Atomic  Energy  Community 
(2004-2006) concerning the operation of the Community's High Flux Reactor (HFR) in Petten 
(The  Netherlands).  On  26  November  2007,  the  Council  adopted  an  extension  of  one  year 
(2007) to this supplementary programme. This programme therefore expired on 31 December 
2007. The operation of the HFR continued throughout 2008 without a supplementary research 
programme while efforts were made to base its operation and exploitation on an independent 
and more durable legal regime. Since these efforts failed, it will now be necessary to provide 
for continued financial support under a new supplementary research programme. 

The present communication concerns thus a new three-year programme for the HFR operation 
(2009-2011). 

The HFR is used by the Commission in accordance with the agreement between Euratom and 
The  Netherlands  of  25  July  1961.  Under  this  agreement,  the  Commission  on  behalf  of  the 
Community  has  committed  itself  to  build  the  necessary  facilities  and  to  provide  additional 
equipment  in  order  to  make  “optimum  use”  of  these  facilities  (including  the  HFR).  This 
agreement  was  signed  for  a  period  of  99  years.  In  order  to  execute  it,  the  two  parties 
concluded  a  long  lease  for  99  years  conferring  a  right  in  rem  ("bail  emphytéotique")  on  31 
October 1962. 

HFR plays an important role in the European Union, in support to safe nuclear technologies, 
in  materials  research  for  thermonuclear  fusion,  in  fundamental  research  and  in  medical 
applications: 

•  Despite  the  decrease  in  R&D  resources  in  the  nuclear  fission  field,  HFR  remains  very 
active  in  the  safety  of  the  existing  and  future  reactors.  HFR  contributes  to  the  following 
programmes:  reactor  ageing  and  life  management,  improvement  of  nuclear  fuel  safety, 
transmutation  of  nuclear  waste  in  view  of  improving  the  conditions  for  the  final  waste 
disposal, fuel safety studies for a new generation of nuclear reactors (Generation IV). 

•  Fundamental  research  makes  use  of  neutron  beams  for  the  study  of  the  structure  of 
materials.  This  activity  is  under  permanent  development  and  contributes  to  the 
understanding  of  degradation  mechanisms  and  their  mitigation  relevant  to  the  safety  of 
existing  nuclear  power  plants.  Methods  under  study  are  non-destructive  evaluation 
techniques  using  neutron  beams  and  neutron  properties.  The  co-ordination  of  efforts, 
dissemination of results and support to harmonisation are carried out through a European 
network. 

•  The  reactor  is  also  used  for  the  commercial  production  of  radio-isotopes  for  more  than 
60%  of  the  10  million  medical  diagnoses  executed  each  year  in  Europe.  Its  performance 
makes  it  an  important  device  for  European  pharmaceutical  companies  in  this  field. 
Moreover, through its location in Europe, the production of the reactor is rapidly directed 
to  the  European  medical  centres.  This  is  essential  for  the  most  currently  used  short-life 
isotopes.

•  The HFR is also a training facility hosting doctoral and post-doctoral fellows performing 

their research activities through national or European Programmes. 

2. CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

Among the Member States consulted in view of their research activities in the nuclear field, 
three Member States (NL, FR and BE) agreed to contribute to the financing of the HFR. 

3. LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

The proposal is based on Article 7 of the Euratom Treaty. 

4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

In its financial statement, this new supplementary programme shows the contribution to come 
from three participating Member States, namely The Netherlands, France and Belgium. The 
contributions from these three Member States amount to about EUR 35 million. This amount 
includes provisions for the decommissioning of the reactor. A part of the contributions under 
the  present  supplementary  programme  will  cover  expenditures  (including  the  provisions  for 
the decommissioning) incurred for the operation of the HFR during 2008, i.e. the period when 
there was no supplementary programme or other mechanism in place for this funding. 

The Commission confirms the declaration recorded in the minutes of the Council meeting of 
27  June  1996,  by  which  it  stated  that  "the  HFR  can  contribute,  on  the  basis  of  adequate 
financing, to the execution of Community programmes, whether or not in the context of the 
Framework Programmes. This participation will take place either on a competitive basis or by 
means of irradiation services to JRC Institutes during the implementation of their respective 
activities". This means that the Commission will not contribute to the operational cost of the 
HFR with funds from its institutional budget, including any cost for maintenance or repair of 
the reactor.

COUNCIL DECISION 

on the adoption of a supplementary research programme to be implemented by the Joint 
Research Centre for the European Atomic Energy Community 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Atomic  Energy  Community,  and  in 
particular Article 7 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

After consultation of the Scientific and Technical Committee1 

Whereas: 

(1)  Within the framework of the European Research Area, the high flux reactor at Petten 
(hereinafter "HFR") has been, and continues to be for some time, an important means 
available to the Community to contribute to materials sciences and testing, to nuclear 
medicine and to safety research in the field of nuclear energy. 

(2) 

(3) 

The  operation  of  the  HFR  has  been  supported  by  a  series  of  supplementary  research 
programmes  the  last  of  which,  Council  Decision  No  2007/773/Euratom  of  26 
November 2007 on a one year extension of the supplementary research programme to 
be  implemented  by  the  Joint  Research  Centre  for  the  European  Atomic  Energy 
Community, expired on 31 December 20072. 

The  operation  of  the  HFR  continued  throughout  2008  without  a  supplementary 
research programme, while efforts were made to base its operation and exploitation on 
an  independent  and  more  durable  legal  regime.  Since  those  efforts  failed,  it  is 
necessary  to  provide  for  continued  financial  support  under  a  new  supplementary 
research programme. 

(4) 

The HFR is able to operate at least until 2015 with its present operating licence. 

(5) 

Given  the  continued  need  for  the  HFR  as  an  irreplaceable  infrastructure  for 
Community  research  in  the  fields  of  improvement  of  safety  of  existing  nuclear 
reactors, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer questions of 
medical  research,  nuclear  fusion,  fundamental  research  and  training  and  waste 
management including the possibility to study the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

5.1. 

Need to be met in the short or long term 

HFR plays an important role, in the European Union, in support to safe nuclear technologies, 
in the research fields of nuclear plants ageing and life extension, transmutation of long-lived 
actinides  in  view  of  a  better  safety  of  waste  storage,  improvement  of  the  fuel  safety,  fuel 
safety  studies  for  the  new  generation  of  reactors  (Generation  IV).  Moreover,  fundamental 
research makes use of neutron beams for the study of the structure of materials. This activity 
is  under  permanent  development  and  contributes  to  the  understanding  of  degradation 
mechanisms and their mitigation relevant to the safety of existing plants. In the framework of 
the  thermonuclear  fusion,  several  projects  are  implemented  to  test  structural  and  breeding 
materials for future fusion reactors. 

5.2. 

Value-added  of  Community  involvement  and  coherence  of  the  proposal  with 
other financial instruments and possible synergy 

The Commission is the owner of HFR. This Supplementary Programme is required to pursue 
its  operation,  taking  into  account  that  the  set  up  of  the  foreseen  Joint  Undertaking  was  not 
possible due to a lack of support by potential partners for such legal construction. It should be 
noted  that  further  to  its  scientific  use,  the  reactor  is  very  important  for  the  medical  sector 
(production of medical radio-isotopes). 

5.3. 

Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context 
of the ABM framework 

The main objectives of the Supplementary Programmes HFR are:

of the installation for a maximum operational period, and the delivery of the neutron flux for 
the experiments; 

2. The rational use of this reactor will be developed in a broad range of disciplines; 
the major research an development themes involving the use of HFR are illustrated 
by the following examples: improvement of safety of existing and new generation of 
nuclear reactor, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer the 
questions  of  medical  research,  fusion  reactor  materials  research,  fundamental 
research  and  training,  and  waste  management  including  the  possibility  to  study  the 
safety of nuclear fuels for new generation of reactors.
