Remotely piloted aviation systems (RPAS) or 'drones' are well known for their military uses, but they could also be used for a range of civil applications for state, industrial, commercial and recreational purposes. Regulatory changes are underway which will allow their use in domestic airspace,...

This report presents the implementation in the EUROPLEXUS code of the possibility of storing a solution for later re-mapping it as initial conditions for a subsequent simulation. EUROPLEXUS (also abbreviated as EPX) is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie...

Intercontinental air services between Europe and Africa are mainly governed by bilateral agreements negotiated between the individual countries of the EU and the various African governments. This paper provides an overview of the regulatory trends and development of air transport between EU and...

This report investigates the economic effects of EU's external aviation policy with third countries. In particular, focusing on 27 countries with which the EU has an Air Services Agreement (ASA) of varying degree of liberalization, we assessed changes in fare, flight frequency and capacity...

This report describes the full life cycle of an intercomparison among European laboratories monitoring radioactivity in the environment. Gravimetrically pipetting droplets of a gravimetrically diluted standardised 137Cs solution onto real air filters, SI-traceable reference values were...

The climate targets of the European Union (EU) are defined in relation to historical benchmarks: for instance, the European Climate Law requires net domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be reduced by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. However, for aviation and maritime transport,...

This report analyses the main sectors involved in air pollution generation and provides a first assessment and prioritisation of the main ongoing or foreseeable structural changes that may pose a threat to the European air quality in Europe. In particular the following questions have been...

This report presents the essential results of a study performed by the European Clearinghouse on Operational Experience Feedback, in cooperation with IRSN and GRS, aiming to analyse the impact of inappropriate maintenance at NPPs. The databases of IRSN, GRS, U.S. NRC and IAEA IRS were screened...
