(8a) As called for in the priorities proposed in the 2012 EFDA fusion roadmap the Joint European Torus (JET) project should play a key role in the energy transition
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex – Scientific and technological Objective – paragraph 2
Annex – Scientific and technological Objective – paragraph 2
The first priority of the strategy to achieve the objective shall be the construction of ITER (a major experimental facility which demonstrates the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power), followed by the construction of a demonstration fusion power plant. As well as the priorities proposed in the 2012 EFDA fusion roadmap in order to ensure that ITER will play a key role in the energy transition.
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex – Rationale – paragraph 1
Annex – Rationale – paragraph 1
Fusion has the potential to make a major contribution to the realisation of a sustainable and secure energy supply for the Union a few decades from now. Its successful development would provide energy which is safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Harnessing fusion energy is a very promising goal but also a significant challenge as there are still remaining physics and engineering issues in order to move towards demonstration of the feasibility of fusion energy. In order to best meet some of these challenges it is essential that the Union makes all available efforts to support and exploit the efforts of the Joint European Taurus (JET) facility in order to help bridge any knowledge or experience gap.
