Annual report 89. Central Bureau for nuclear measurements

This report covers CBNM's activities during the second year of the multiannual programme 1988-91. Its contents and form reflect the change in the role and in the working conditions of the Joint Research Center of which CBNM is an institute. The main task of CBNM as covered by the European Communities Framework Programme is defined as the specific programme Nuclear Measurements and Reference Materials. The activities of the CBNM - like for the other institutes of the JRC - are only in part funded as Specific Programme. A small proportion of the specific programme budget is allotted to Exploratory Research, in preparation of possible extensions of existing competences or of potential new activities. Parts of the funding are coming from Support to Other Commission Services and from Work for Third Parties on the basis of contracts. 36 contributions have been presented during a series of international conferences; 24 articles have been submitted for publication in scientific/technical journals
