Identify framework and define spectrum and scope of R&D activities for an EJP on nuclear materials;
Produce a vision paper describing the framework of an EJP on nuclear materials;
Produce a consensual SRA with short and long term vision, including consideration of issues such as standardization of processes, circular economy, and cross cutting aspects in nuclear (fission-fusion) and other industrial fields.
