5 Introduction DHV The plan to incorporate a new high flux reactor, PALLAS, in Petten are accompanied by the important quetion: how will thi new nuclear intallation appear and in what way will thi reactor be incorporated in the characteritic dune landcape of North Holland? The plan to incorporate a new high flux reactor, PALLAS, in Petten are accompanied by the important quetion: how will thi new nuclear intallation appear and in what way will thi reactor be incorporated in the characteritic dune landcape of North Holland? The document before you wa drafted baed on the conviction that the ure and incorporation in the landcape of PALLAS i not only the buine of the initiator, but of a wider group of intereted partie. The immediate neighbour, (recreation) buinee and other intereted partie were therefore aked about their wihe with repect to the: viibility, deign, colour and incorporation in the landcape of PALLAS. Once thi intention had arien, the PALLAS project organiation and the Zijpe local authority tarted working together. The Rotterdam-baed ocietal communication company Het Portaal joined thi group. The company wa taked by the Minitry of Economic Affair, Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I) the department reponible for iuing the permit under the Nuclear Energy Act - to invetigate what i going on in the region. Becaue the incorporation in the landcape eemed to be an important element, the partie decided to act together. Eventually, two evening meeting (on Thurday 28 April and 31 May 2011) were organied in the Zijpe Town Hall in Schagerbrug. The firt meeting addreed the crop of idea and wihe from the region, the econd gave a profeional tranlation of thee idea and wihe and recommendation. Three collaborated in the evening meeting: Adriaan Geuze, Director of the ural company Wet8 in Rotterdam, Robert Collignon and Stefan Kolen, who both work for DHV Arch in Eindhoven. Geuze mainly concentrated on argument related to incorporating PALLAS into the landcape, Collignon and Kolen mainly provided advice about the ural poibilitie (deign, colour, material) of PALLAS. Thi Memorandum of Aim drawn up by DHV Arch on the order of the PALLAS project organiation, i a profeional tranlation of the ocietal wihe that were recorded during the meeting mentioned above. The document briefly outline the incorporation and ural preference taking account of the technical and patial planning condition (a far a they are known in the pring of 2011). The memorandum i intended a a guide uggeted by the inhabitant of Zijpe - for the eventual deign of PALLAS. The reaon to organie the public meeting at the very tart of the long PALLAS development proce (approximately 8 year), i becaue a oon a the financing ha been arranged, the project organiation will invite tender for the deign and contruction via a European invitation to tender procedure. By making clear at thi early tage the ocietal wihe related to the incorporation and ure of the reactor, the competing partie can take account of them. Thi mean that they will receive together with the firt deign ketche an aignment (criterion for awarding the contract). Thi document i a note for guidance in the PALLAS tendering proce. Baed on the ocietal wihe expreed in the region, the drafter of the PALLAS Memorandum of Aim, DHV Arch, ha taken the opportunity to extend the recommendation further than jut the cope of the PALLAS project. For intance, a few uggetion have been made related to the entire field of ree. Conider a new ecurity layer, the open campu and a viitor centre. However, agreement mut be reached with other companie on the ree location in thi regard. The PALLAS project organiation will endeavour to enure that thi occur. 5

10 Summary of the ocietal wihe Turn the entire ree ite into a howcae for utainability. Take the opportunity of the new building activitie to thoroughly renovate the entire ite. Make the ite and PALLAS le viible from the beach (the mot important beach acce point). Whatever i viible can have the characteritic of a landmark/icon. Enure that the complex look neat and tidy, thi i a determining factor related to the feeling of afety in the urrounding. Fence and lighting: can they be integrated in another way? The friendlier the ite appear, the better. The inhabitant want to be actively involved in the development concerning the realiation of PALLAS. The realiation of a viitor centre i an important wih. Show that ecology i alo an important factor. 10

11 Surrounding & Image DHV The PALLAS project i an initiative of the Nuclear Ree & conultancy Group (NRG). NRG i a daughter of Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (ECN), which i recognied a being the leading Dutch intitute for energy innovation. Both intitute have their head office in the dune around Petten, together with the European energy intitute JRC-IE and the American pharmaceutical company Covidien. The dune companie (duinbedrijven), a the cluter i alo referred to, are known to provide high-quality employment (more than 1500 people work in Petten). The group of dune companie i known to the public due to it expertie in the area of utainable energy application (ECN and JRC) and due to it role a the producer of medical iotope for the world (NRG and Covidien). Every day, 24,000 patient are treated (diagnoi, cancer therapie, pain control) uing iotope from Petten. A crucial tak i reerved for the high flux reactor (HFR; that ha been in operation ince 1961). Thi reactor i ued by NRG for radiotherapy and ha enured that the intitute ha developed in a period of fifty year into a world player in the area of nuclear conultancy and the proviion of irradiation ervice for the production of medical and indutrial iotope and nuclear technological ree (NTR). The PALLAS project ha been tarted becaue the HFR i approaching the end of it operational life. The objective of PALLAS i the contruction and operation (from 2020) of a new high flux reactor. The intention i to ue the new reactor to become the global market leader in the development and production of (medical) iotope and to increae the knowledge about and turnover of utainable nuclear technology. There i a wide dicrepancy in the opinion about new een from the Pettemer polder, but mainly hidden nuclear building in the dune around Petten.

New building will follow the trict grid in which a contrat will be created between nature and building (nature i organic, building have traight line). The implicity and clear tructure of the building will articulate nature. Diverity therefore will be een in the landcape, not in the building. New building (with the exception of the new reactor) will not be higher than 17.00m +NAP meaning that the natural chain of dune will remain the prominent feature. Maintaining a ingle tandard height will mean that the building will be more uniform. The new reactor i the exception here. 24

61 Ue of colour DHV Three interpretation of colour Adopt the colour of the landcape I more incorporated in the dune landcape and therefore i le clearly viible on the kyline. Contrat with the landcape Due to the contrat with the landcape, the building ha a more dominant preence on the kyline. Influenced by the urrounding The colour of the building engage in a relationhip with the continually changing colour of the landcape. 61

62 1. Adopt the colour of the landcape I more incorporated in the dune landcape and therefore i le clearly viible on the kyline. 62

63 2. Contrat with the landcape DHV Due to the contrat with the landcape, the building ha a more dominant preence on the kyline. The outline of the object how up clearly againt the backdrop. 63

64 The tranformation in colour are characteritic for the landcape. Not only the Dutch kie and the bulb field, but alo the dune landcape i ubject to change. Thi make it infeaible to adopt the exact colour of the landcape, there will alway be a contrat a the eaon change. A colour rich in contrat, uch a brilliant white, alway ha the advere effect that the object will be harply delineated againt the landcape. The ubtlety and harmoniou relationhip with the urrounding will be lot. Making the colour dependent on the changing colour of the landcape, will provide a balanced relationhip with the urrounding. In thi way, dependent on the light and the immediate urrounding, the object will continually aume a different colour. Thi effect can be achieved through the careful choice of material and the application of light hade of grey. 64

65 3. Influenced by the urrounding DHV The colour of the building engage in a relationhip with the continually changing colour of the landcape. 65

66 From a great ditance it i all about the ilhouette of the reactor, only the hape and colour are important. From cloe by, the tactility of the object play an important role. Tactility indicate how a material feel and the perception of the peron touching the material. The choice of material ha a major influence on the perception from cloe by. The careful election of the material and the detailing can provide an element of urprie. It contribute to the incorporation in the direct urrounding. The detail and choice of material mut contribute to a low-maintenance building. The pecific propertie of the location mut be taken into conideration here. Conider the high wind load (robut attachment), alty air (corroion), and (penetration, accumulation) and the fauna that i preent (bird). Aim for an honet and effective choice of material, enuring that the intrinic value of the material remain viible. For intance, ue facing concrete. Line on the urface make the cale of the object more friendly. 66

67 Ue of material DHV The addition of a wafer-thin kin make the object le maive and heavy. Apply a print to the material that ha a relationhip with the urrounding / function of the object. 67

69 Selection matrix DHV Colour Concluion & recommendation Adopt the colour of the landcape I incorporated in the dune landcape and therefore i le clearly viible on the kyline. Contrat with the landcape Due to the contrat with the landcape, the building ha a more dominant preence on the kyline. Object influenced by the urrounding The colour of the building engage in a relationhip with the continually changing colour of the landcape. The incorporation of the new high flux reactor into the Petten landcape can be perceived in two way. From the polder landcape, the reactor i recogniable a an icon; the dune mak the other building on the ite, allowing all of the attention to be directed at the reactor. However, from the dune landcape, the entire ite can be een, which no longer mean that the reactor can be interpreted a an icon, on the contrary, it will be maked by the urrounding building. With repect to how it i perceived from the polder landcape, it i of great importance for the reactor to be deigned carefully. It mut be een a an object, not a a building. Reduce it appearance to the eence without making it look indutrial. Make the object interpretable by a clear deign. A camouflaged/ concealed feeling mut be avoided. With repect to the perception from the dune landcape, the entire ree ite ha an influence. The ite can be een in particular from the beach acce point and the Petten ea defence. Intead of hiding the ite behind artificial dune and vegetation, the recommendation i to promote the ite to being an (open) campu. Here, a clear tructure and clear dipoition are extremely important. The entire campu can erve a a landmark. The landcape i characteried by tranformation in colour. Not only due to the rich palette of colour of the bulb field, but alo due to the varying white, blue and red tint in the ky. The reactor can ubtly repond to thi by the ue of light grey hade that adopt or even reflect the colour of the urrounding. From a great ditance it i all about the ilhouette of the reactor, only the hape and colour are important. From cloe by, the tactility of the object play an important role. The choice of material ha a major influence on the perception from cloe by. It contribute to the incorporation in the direct urrounding. Enure there i harmony between the building and the dune landcape. Employ the unique opportunitie of the urrounding; working in the dune! Plan clearly orthogonal building that repect the landcape. Poition the building perpendicular to the longitudinal axi of the chain of dune. Enure that the area exude a friendly and acceible impreion, and communicate the activitie that occur on the campu to the outide world. Thi can be realied by a viitor centre and opening up certain part of the campu. Thi will once more trengthen the relationhip with Petten. Etablih a maximum building height of 17.00m +NAP and maintain thi a a tandard height (with the exception of the new high flux reactor), thi will once more accentuate the campu character. Emphaie the diverity of the dune landcape, not that of the building. Reinforce the region natural potential. 69
