All users of the ILL facility must comply with French safety regulations and the local administrative and safety regulations of the ILL. Any ancillary equipment supplied by the user must conform to the appropriate French regulations.
Experimental conditions involving special safety requirements, such as the use of radioactive isotopes or chemically or biologically hazardous materials or others, should be clearly stated in the proposal.

To perform experiments at ILL, no classification as category NE or B radiation worker is required. The only exception concerns the experiments performed on the instrument PF2 for which the ILL imposes that you are category B radiation worker and that you supply a medical certificate, see more information below.

Please read carefully the specific information below if it concerns you. Some procedures take several weeks or months to process.

• Sample radiological control 
• Pregnancy - Special protection during pregnancy and nursing
