Abstract
Generation IV is a framework for international co-operation in research for a future generation of nuclear energy systems on which 10 countries originally agreed: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The objective is to support and develop, within a time frame of 15 to 20 years, innovative systems that should answer the main public concerns: to provide an enhanced safety and minimal waste for proliferation resistant and highly economical nuclear energy systems. In November 2002, the European Commission decided that Euratom should join the Generation IV International Forum and entrusted the Joint Research Centre with negotiation of this adhesion. On July 30, 2003, the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) finally joined this International Forum. This report informs about the background, objectives, organisation, and subject of this international research initiative.
