                                  GROUNDS
 In the 1982 budget Item 7341 ( Thermonuclear fusion - Indirect action)
 carries 63,665 million ECU in commitment appropriations and 49/ 665 million ECU
 in payment appropriations for the 1979-83 programme . Pending approval of the
new programme for 1582-86 the budgetary authority entered in Chapter 100 a
reserve of 27,5 million ECU in commitment appropriations and 2,5 million ECU
in payment appropriations . The use of the payment appropriations from this
reserve is virtually automatic since it is stated in the remarks column that
" If the Council has not taken a decision on the new fusion programme by the
end of June 1982 , the payment appropriation of 2.500.000 ECU could ba
transferred to Item 7341 "bo meet commitments entered into under the existing
programme ".
With respect to Item 7342 ( Participation in the JET joint undertaking) the sum
entered in the budget is 66,7 million ECU , while the reserve in Chapter 100
for the new programme is 16 million ECU .
The Council meanwhile adopted the new Fusion/jet programme ( 1982-86) at its
meeting on 25 May 1982 .
The Commission therefore needs to have at its disposal the reserve appropriation ?
in Chapter 100 for implementing this programme , the objects of which , by way
of indirect action ( item 7341 ) , are in particular tos
– continue a substantial research programme on Tokamaks with a view to
   producing a demonstration reactor ( DEMO) 5
– concentrate a fair amoirnt of effort , subject to available resources , on
   substitution confinement systems which might result in a fusion reactor ;
– initiate studies on defining HEDT ( Next European Torus ) seen, as the single
   stage between JET and DEMO and press ahead with the work of developing the
   necessary technology.
   Sweden has been associated with this programme since May 1976 , Switzerland
   since 1978 and Spain since July I98O .
   The aim of the JET project ( item 7342 ) is to construct , operate and exploit ,
   as part of the Fusion programme and for the benefit of the participants , a
   large facility of the Tokamak type and its auxiliary facilities in order to
   extend the parameter range applicable to controlled thennonvcleri' fusion
   experiments up to conditions close to those needed inatherionuclear reactor .
  The JET undertaking was set up , pursuant to Chapter V of the 3uratom Treaty ,
  in order to carry out this project , with the Community bearing 80% of the
  cost .
  Two non-member countries , Sweden and Switzerland , pay part of the Community
  contribution under the Cooperation Agreements signed with Euratom*,
 ---pagebreak--- The financial requirements are as follows :
Item 7341 (Thermonuclear fusion – Indirect action) :
      27 . 500 • 000 ECU in commitment appropriations
       2.5OO . OOO ECU in payment appropriations      – from Chapter 100
Item 7342 ( Participation in the JET joint undertaking)
      14*300.000 ECU in commitment and payment appropriations .
In the latter case , the amount , l r J million ECU less than the reserve in
Chapter 100 , is the 1982 budget for the joint undertaking, as approved
by the JET Council .
