Management of European fast reactor R&D

Article Abstract:

Nuclear reactor development has been a major concern among some European nations. France, Germany and the UK have established a joint industrial research program for developing and funding reactors. Since governments of the concerned countries control funding, industrial research has to be managed effectively such that both individual and group goals are considered. Although initial management structures were politically motivated, participating countries have learned to remove such barriers and develop more efficient and flexible strategies.

It is shown that the relation between R&D and environmental management has yet to reach a developed stage. Thus, a gap exists between R&D practice and theory. Itis shown that the formation of an R&D management and environment focus group may help to minimize the gap.
