The Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) has published the 2015 edition of its Deployment Strategy. The Strategy, which was first issued in 2010, has been updated to take stock of evolutions in the nuclear industry and, more broadly, in the energy sector over the past five years.

The Deployment Strategy complements SNETP’s Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda, and aims to prioritise the SNETP programme over the coming decades to make it fully aligned with the general context of electricity generation in Europe, which includes different energy sources, different national energy policies and societal challenges, SNETP said in a statement.

In the introduction to the strategy, Marylise Caron-Charles, Chair of the Deployment Strategy 2015 Task Force, said that the Deployment Strategy priorities and planning were the result of a challenging process of prioritisation and consensus building among the SNETP members. She said that this is expected to reinforce the visibility of nuclear fission R&D programmes to the relevant institutions at EU level, international fora and to the different EU Member States. Consequently, this will help to identify the eligible financial instruments that are needed to support the R&D activities and research infrastructures highlighted in the strategy, she said.
