Isabelle DURANT

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2

(2) Nuclear research can contribute to social and economic prosperity and environmental sustainability by improving nuclear safety, security and radiation protection. Equally important is the contribution of nuclear research to the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system in a safe, efficient and secure way.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6

(6) By signing the Agreement on the Establishment of the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation for the Joint Implementation of the ITER Project, the Community has undertaken to participate in ITER construction and its future exploitation. The Community contribution is managed through the ‘European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy’ (hereinafter ‘Fusion for Energy’), established by Council Decision of 27 March 2007. The activities of Fusion for Energy, including ITER, are to be regulated by a separate legislative act.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7

(7) For fusion to become a credible option for commercial energy production, it is, firstly, necessary to successfully and timely complete the construction of ITER and start its operation. Secondly it is necessary to establish an ambitious, yet realistic roadmap towards the production of electricity by 2050. Reaching those goals requires the European fusion programme to be redirected. A stronger focus should be placed on the activities in support to ITER. Such rationalisation should be achieved without jeopardising the European leadership of the fusion scientific community.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – part 1 – paragraph 1

By achieving the objectives set out in Article 3, the Euratom Programme shall reinforce outcomes under the three priorities of the ´Horizon 2020` Framework Programme: excellent science, industrial leadership, and societal challenges. The Euratom Programme shall in particular support the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system in the future, in the face of increasing resource scarcity, growing energy needs and climate change.

Proposal for a regulation
Annex I – part 1 – paragraph 3

The strategy to develop fusion as a credible option for commercial carbon- free energy production shall follow a roadmap with milestones towards the goal of electricity production by 2050. To implement that strategy, a radical restructuring of fusion-related work in the Union, including governance, funding and management, shall be carried out to ensure a shift of emphasis from pure research to designing, building and operating future facilities such as ITER, DEMO and beyond. That shall require a close cooperation between the entire Union fusion community, the Commission and the national funding agencies.deleted
