2. BRILLIANT Task 2.2 update: The nuclear fuel cycle simulator FANCSEE development

progresses. NCBJ-Swierk will prepare a benchmark description for first benchmarking of the

nuclear fuel cycle simulator.

3. BRILLIANT Task 2.3 update: All BRILIANT partners are encouraged to consider

cooperation possibilities for regional research infrastructure for nuclear fuel cycles and nuclear

waste storage, based on the preliminary infrastructure findings.

4. BRILLIANT WP4 update: a new member (Ms. Elizaveta Lebedeva) has joined the TARTU

WP4 team and was able to participate in the BRILLIANT Tallinn seminar. Her background

based on the “quantitative economics” curriculum is a welcome addition to support WP4

“Macroeconomic impact of nuclear programs.” Efforts will be undertaken to update Ms.

Lebedeva of the progress so far, so she could quickly and meaningfully contribute to the

progress of the project.

about the January project review meeting in Brussels.

PART 4. DIVERSE

During the BRILLIANT internal meeting in Tallinn, part of the discussion was dedicated to efforts to

promote diversity in science, including encouragement of a balanced gender ratio. The BRILLIANT

consortium is working to contribute to these goals and has recently added Ms. Elizaveta Lebedeva to

support the TARTU WP4 team on the topic of macroeconomic impacts. Discussions are currently

underway as to the possibility of highlighting contributions from underrepresented groups during

future BRILLIANT events and seminars.
