Abstract (English)

The general objective is to assess the European hot laboratories research capacity and its aptitude for supporting the nuclear industrial and research community both at present and in the future. The ultimate goal is to preserve appropriate nuclear research infrastructure in Europe by combining the best available competences at the highest quality.
The present HOTLAB project is to be looked at as a first step in the integration process. It will inventory the present research capabilities, in the form of an Internet based highly dynamic permanent database, including the inter-laboratory transport facilities as well. An assessment of the present and future needs of nuclear research in terms of infrastructural facilities will complete the basis to build upon a common strategy for durable integration in the longer term.
