ag tabhairt dá haire, agus is ábhar imní di, sa tuarascáil ón gCúirt, gur tugadh aird ar leith ar an meastachán ar an gcostas iomlán a bhain le comhlíonadh na n-oibleagáidí chun tionscadal ITER a thabhairt chun críche in 2042, arna mheas ag an gComhghnóthas ag EUR 17968050000 (i luachanna 2020) agus ar an bhfíoras go bhféadfadh athruithe ar phríomhthoimhdí maidir leis an meastachán agus maidir leis an neamhchosaint ar riosca a bheith ina gcúis le méadú suntasach ar chostais agus/nó tuilleadh moilleanna ar chur chun feidhme thionscadal ITER; ag tabhairt dá haire, i measc na bpríomhthoimhdí de chuid bhonnlíne ITER a d’fhormheas Comhairle Eagraíocht ITER i mí na Samhna 2016, go bhfuil an méid seo a leanas á choinneáil: sprioc-am mhí na Nollaig 2025 don Chéad Phlasma, agus céim an deoitéiriam-tritiam ag tosú i mí na Nollag 2035; ag tabhairt dá haire, i gcodarsnacht leis sin, i mbonnlíne 2010, gur measadh go mbainfí amach an chéim tógála in 2020, agus go meastar anois gurb í bonnlíne reatha ITER a formheasadh in 2016 an dáta is luaithe chun an chéim sin a bhaint amach go teicniúil; á iarraidh ar an gComhghnóthas aon athrú ar an gcás sin a thuairisciú don údarás um urscaoileadh; ag tabhairt dá haire go ndéantar tagairt go háirithe sa tuarascáil ón gCúirt d’athruithe ar na ceanglais maidir le sábháilteacht núicléach, ar ceanglais iad atá faoi údarás deiridh Údarás Sábháilteachta Núicléiche na Fraince, don mheastachán costais nár athbhreithníodh maidir le Coimpléasc Teo-Chille, agus d’athruithe ar na ceanglais sin;
Notes with concern from the Court’s report the emphasis of matter drawing attention to the estimate of the total cost for completing its delivery obligations for the ITER project in 2042, assessed by the Joint Undertaking at EUR 17968050000 (in 2020 values) and to the fact that changes in key assumptions concerning the estimate and the risk exposure could lead to significant costs increases and/or to further delays in the implementation of the ITER project; notes that among the key assumptions the ITER baseline approved in November 2016 by the Council of the ITER Organization leading to First Plasma in December 2025, and the start of the Deuterium-Tritium phase in December 2035 is maintained; notes in contrast that the 2010 baseline estimated the achievement of the construction phase in 2020, and that the current ITER baseline approved in 2016 is considered to be the earliest possible technically achievable date; calls on the Joint Undertaking to report to the discharge authority of any development in that regard; notes that the Court’s report refers to in particular changes in nuclear safety requirements that are under the ultimate authority of the French Nuclear Safety Authority, the cost estimate for the Hot Cell Complex which has not been revised, as well as requirement changes;
