System ArrangementsThe GIF has established System Steering Committees to implement the research and development for each Generation IV reactor concept, with participation by GIF Members interested in contributing to collaborative R&D. Each System Steering Committee will plan and integrate R&D projects contributing to the development of a system. Participants in System Committees, and in projects, sign agreements governing intellectual property rights and other matters in order to work cooperatively on the concepts. The Charter of the GIF and the Framework Agreement allow for the participation of organizations from non-GIF countries on all research projects, but not on Systems Steering Committees. The current System Arrangements in place are set out in the table below.
