• NETNUC/GEN4FIN meeting
• 3.4.2009, VTT, Espoo

OBJECTIVES NOMAGE4

• Nordic dimension
• To survey GenIV activities in the Nordic
  countries
• To create a network for interested parties with
  GenIV activities
• To establish co-operation and identify partners
  for RD applications to VR, EU etc.
• To build a sustainable forum for GenIV issues,
  especially focussing on nuclear materials
  integrity and safety fuels, cladding, structural
  materials and coolant interaction.
• To develop an understanding of materials issues
  and their implications for design, operation
  safety of GenIV reactors
• Spreading knowledge on GenIV issues and ongoing
  research to different parties involved in the
  nuclear field, such as universities and
  utilities.
• Inspiring young people for GenIV related RD.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY2008 - 2010

• Build-up a website for the forum,
  www.studsvik.se/GenerationIV. (2008)
• Identify the Nordic organizations which are
  involved in
• research concerning GENIV and other interested
  partners. (2008 - 2009)
• Initiate the collaboration with organizations
  which are involved in
• research concerning GenIV and other interested
  partners from other Nordic countries. (2008-2010)
• Initiation of a Nordic Network. (2009)

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY2008 - 2010

• 2 days workshop/yr for partners, research
  organisations, universities and companies. (2009
  2010)
• Increase the awareness of GENIV in training by
  e.g. collaboration
• with existing nuclear young generation
  societies, by e.g. giving
• presentations on GENIV issues. (2008 2010)
• Listing research topics and priorities. (2008
  2010)
• Investigate the funding possibilities. (2008
  2010)

How to work?

• Network structure
• Identification of GenIV national coordinators
• Sweden, Studsvik
• Finland, VTT
• Norway, Halden
• Denmark and Iceland, to be identified
• Nordic network coordinators Studsvik VTT
• Workplan
• Each national coordinator will identify and
  present the information about their national
  GENIV activities
• evaluate and report the infrastructure
  facilities, measurement techniques, modeling
  capabilities
• The Nordic GenIV activity report will be then
  prepared and presented on GenIV website
• Spreading knowledge and exchange information by
  organizing a Nordic workshop to which also young
  generation societies from all the Nordic
  countries are invited (tentative days 14-15.10.09
  in Studsvik)
• To establish cooperation and identify partners
  for RD applications to VR, EU etc
• The idea of the network is to combine the
  resources of different research teams in order to
  carry out more ambitious and extensive research
  programs than would be possible for the
  individual teams.
• Plans for continuation and ideeas for the first
  Nordic international GenIV collaboration project,
  e.g. FP7
• Tools for information sharing
• GenIV website www.studsvik.se/GenerationIV
