Scope
With a tradition of four decades, the European Working Group on "Hot Laboratories and Remote Handling ", at present formalised within the EC 6th Framework Programme "HOTLAB", is firmly established as the major contact forum for the nuclear R&D facilities at the European scale.
The yearly plenary meetings intend to:
- exchange experience on analytical methods, their implementation in hot cells, the methodologies used and their application in nuclear research;
- share experience on common infrastructure exploitation matters such as remote handling techniques, safety features, QA-certification, waste handling….;
- promote normalisation and co-operation, e.g., by looking at mutual complementarities;
- prospect present and future demands from the nuclear industry and to draw strategic conclusions regarding further needs.
