B. MANAGEMENT REPORT (FINANCIAL INFORMATION) 1. Justification of major cost items and resources for the period 1.1. Work performed vs. resources and major costs During the second reporting period, major efforts have been dedicated to the full implementation of those tools which will permit to achieve the project goals. Particular attention has been paid to monitor and re-shape when necessary in a more rational way the work to be carried out. The detailed planning of the activities to be performed in the framework of both the Networking Activities (NA) and Joint Research Activities (JRA) has been revised at month 18th (mid-project) on the basis of an appropriate quality control system. The project official website has been improved (ENEA), with addition of specific sections for exploiting the dissemination of information and results. Great attention has been paid to the edition of the VELLA newsletters and the collection of a significant mailing list and particular effort has been dedicated to the organization of a second international workshop on specific topics related with the use of HLM for nuclear applications, this time focused on thermal-hydraulic issues. A thematic workshop dedicated to PhD and post doc students dedicated to the material issues in HLM cooled systems has been organized A critical review has been carried out on material corrosion, mechanical properties, chemistry control and experimental procedures in HLM The analysis of the research activities going on worldwide in the area of Heavy Liquid Metal (HLM) technologies for nuclear applications have been continued and the organization of specific meetings outside Europe has been decided, in order to find commonalities and synergies among the various programmes, to increase the possible technical cooperation and, in such a way, maximise the profit of the ongoing activities. The second call for proposal for the Transnational Access and Human Mobility actions has been launched. Four TA proposals and three HM proposals have been received and evaluated by the SAP. The Executive Board has approved the granting of six of the seven proposals on June 25 th 2008. Several activities, finally, have been carried out in different areas of investigation: studies have been carried out in the four JRAs on oxygen control, purification, corrosion, HLM pump development, thermal-hydraulics and irradiations in LBE.

A general mid-term STP meeting has been organized in June 2008, to monitor the status of the activities carried out in the frame of the JRAs. The costs encountered during the second period for the different activities as well as the corresponding EC requested contribution are summarized in table 1 Research and Management Other Other Specific total Technological of the Specific Activities: Development/ Innovation consortium Activities: Coordination Costs 692.526,11 30.027,91 119.233,87 3.743,23 851.079,92 EC 373.313,86 30.027,91 119.233,87 3.743,23 522.575,63 requested contribution Table 1.

1.4. Explanation of the impact of major deviations The NA and TA activities are running generally in time. Some deliverables in the frame of different Joint Research Activities are suffering a certain delay due to different reasons as reported in the detailed description of the activity (see PAR no. 2). 1.5. Co-ordinator's assessment An intermediary payment of 326921,37 has been received from the EC covering the accepted expenses of cost statements duly submitted for the first reporting period. The intermediary financing has then be distributed to the partners as in the following table, covering also the funding for the TA activities of ENEA and NRI (form the pre-financing) Institution intermediate payment ENEA 188670,15 CEA 9927,964348 CIEMAT 11224,86957 CNR-IENI 15313 CNRS FZK 53193,79543 FZD 112,5865217 IQS 6466,20087 KTH 24998,21739 NRI 48.905,08 PSI 34399,63022 SCK-CEN 22025,5587 IPUL 5968,315217 Table 4. Distribution of the EC intermediate payment In a general way all the activities planned during the first year have been carried out roughly in time and therefore it can be assessed that the goals of the initiative planned for the remaining year will be reasonably met in due time, the only exception being task 4.2 which is suffering a strong delay (nearly 12 months) due to lack of manpower at SCK CEN.. 1.6.
