1 Investing in Nuclear Innovation in Belgium NEA International Workshop on "Nuclear Innovation Roadmap 2050" July 7-8, 2015, Paris (FR) Alberto Fernandez Fernandez FPS Economy, Energy and SMEs Hamid AÏT ABDERRAHIM SCK CEN, Belgian Nuclear Research Center July
2 Outline Nuclear research in Belgium in a nutshell Annual budgets for nuclear fission R&D and Research Infrastructures Nuclear fission research infrastructure needs in Belgium Nuclear fission Research Infrastructures access right in Belgium Future large research infrastructure for next generation fission energy systems Issues for Nuclear Fission Research Infrastructures to be addressed internationally Few examples of Nuclear Fission Research Infrastructures accessible at SCK CEN Other institutions in Belgium useful Research Infrastructures for Nuclear Fission
3 Belgium is a federal state with a division of competences The constitutional reforms in the 1970s and 1980s led to the creation of a federal state with: three communities three regions These institutions have powers and responsibilities for the different fields The Federal government has: Residuary competences: all competences that are not explicitly assigned to communities or regions Shared competences: federal and regional /community governments are competent equally Explicit competences: clearly assigned to the Federal government Non-nuclear energy R&D is a regional competence
4 Nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear R&D is an explicit federal competence Nuclear fuel cycles and related R&D programmes Most of nuclear R&D is carried out at the SCK CEN Fission Nuclear Materials & Fuels, LTO, Adv. Nuc. Systems, Fusion, Geo. Disp., D&D, Med. Applic., RI production, Radioprotection, MYRRHA (SCK CEN) Radioisotopes: Mo refining and Radiopharmaceuticals production (IRE) Fusion Fusion for Energy (ITER prototype) Contracts of Association (Plasma heating and material research) Broader Approach (IFMIF EVEDA) Other non nuclear federal competences Security of supply, national prospective studies and energy statistics and balances Large stockholding installations, Production and transmission / transport of energy (electricity grid >70 kv), including large storage infrastructure Distribution and transport tariffs (Federal Regulator CREG) Offshore wind energy IAEA nuclear profile -
5 Belgium will continue investing in nuclear research despite her decision to phase out nuclear electricity production Nuclear energy in Belgium: 7 NPP s (all PWR), ~50% of electricity Complete but gradual phase-out the use of nuclear fission energy for commercial electricity production by 2025 prohibits the construction of new nuclear power plants and set a 40-year limit on the operational period of existing plants Tihange 1 shutdown postponed with 10 years 2015 Doel 1 and Doel 2 shutdowns postponed with 10 years Belgium acknowledges the importance of investing in nuclear research to Support safe operation of nuclear systems in Belgium and in Europe Develop sustainable solutions for the management of radioactive waste Maintain nuclear competences to guarantee the safe dismantling of nuclear power plants and the long term management of nuclear waste

7 Nuclear waste management in Belgium Low and intermediate level short-lived waste 2006: government approved near surface disposal at Dessel (cat) 2012: request to obtain the license for the disposal facility itself has been introduced with the safety authorities (FANC) Medium high-level and long-lived waste R&D program since 1974 on geological disposal started by SCK CEN, presently managed by ONDRAF/NIRAS New parliamentary debate on reprocessing of commercial spent fuel is in the make ONDRAF/NIRAS prepared a «Waste plan» in 2011 that was submitted to the government to obtain a decision-in-principle on the geological disposal in clay (Boom & Ypresian clays) First National Programme on nuclear waste management to be published in 2015 (transposition of the EU nuclear waste directive 2011/70)
