ARIEL: Availability and use of nuclear data research infrastructures for education and learning For the continuing improvement of the safety of current and planned nuclear facilities accurate and precise nuclear data are required to simulate the ongoing processes on the atomic level. In order to maintain the transfer of knowledge to the younger generation and to countries with less advanced nuclear programs the most modern and state of the art neutron beam facilities based on accelerators and research reactors will unite in this project international experts with interested early stage researchers (ESR) and technicians to work on the most challenging problems. The project will provide at least 3000 additional beam time hours for external users groups at the neutron facilities of the consortium. Up to 90 ESR and technicians will be able to receive full mobility and logistical support to participate in these experiments at 23 different accelerator or reactor based neutron facilities. The training of ESR in the field of nuclear physics and nuclear engineering will be complemented by up to 30 research stays of up to 12 weeks duration for extended work at the participating facilities. |

MYRTE: MYRRHA Research and Transmutation Endeavour The goal of MYRTE is to perform the necessary research in order to demonstrate the feasibility of transmutation of high-level waste at industrial scale through the development of the MYRRHA research facility. Within MYRRHA as a large research facility, the demonstration of the technological performance of transmutation will be combined with the use for the production of radio-isotopes and as a material testing for nuclear fission and fusion applications. |

SANDA: Supplying Accurate Nuclear Data for energy and non-energy Applications The project will include experimental measurements of new or improved quality data, evaluation, validation and dissemination of the data to produce libraries that can be used by safety authorities, research institutions, the nuclear energy industry, health organizations, other non-energy applications and the EU society at large. The project will also include in smaller fraction support to detector development, facility setups and samples fabrication to prepare important measurements and validations that are not possible in the time framework of the present projectl but that will be required in near future for the safe and efficient use of nuclear technologies. |
