Euratom Supply Agency annual report 2016

Struttura della relazione: Il Capitolo 1 comprende un profilo delle attività dell'ESA nel 2016 e una presentazione sintetica degli sviluppi di energia nucleare nell'UE. Capitolo 2 fornisce una panoramica del mercato mondiale dei combustibili nucleari, mentre il capitolo 3 contiene valutazioni dell'ESA del mercato dei carburanti nella UE. Per la prima volta questo capitolo comprende anche un'analisi delle consegne di servizi di conversione. I capitoli 4 e 5 di messa a fuoco, rispettivamente, sulla sicurezza dell'approvvigionamento e sui radioisotopi medici, mentre il capitolo 6 stabilisce programma di lavoro dell'ESA per il 2017.
