             Joint programme
             A maximum of 3-050 million units of account, and a staff of 33 ( including a programme staff
             of 15 ), shall be allocated to this objective.
             The initial phase will be devoted to the preparation of a detailed programme. The objective
             shall include :
             Use for solar energy
             — bibliographical research and technical and economic evaluation of the various concepts
                 for the collection and storage of solar energy,
             — studies and measurements in the field of heat pipes and selective surfaces,
             — technico-economic and feasibility studies of self-contained units of 1 to 10 kW,
             — studies and assessments on photolysis and thermodissociation of water, and biological
                 conversion .
             Recycling of raw materials
             — general study of strategies (statistical studies of long-term trends, studies of the utilization
                 cycle of materials),
             — special studies on technical and/or technico-economic evaluations concerning:
                 — the pyrolysis of plastics,
                 — the separation of strongly-bound alloy waste,
                 — other subjects which might arise during the general studies .
             These activities will be conducted by the Ispra Establishment.
