Nuclear and particule physics. The NPP instruments are excellent unique tools for examining key questions in nuclear and neutron particle physics.

Large Scale Structures. The LSS instruments are all dedicated to measuring structures on the scale of 1 to 100s of nanometers.

Diffraction.The DIF instruments use neutron diffraction to study the structure of materials used in everyday life.

Suite à l’accident de Fukushima, l’ASN a imposé aux exploitants nucléaires : 1. La prise en compte d’agressions externes extrêmes, significativement plus fortes que celles initialement retenues pour l

The radioactive elements present in the environment emit alpha, beta and gamma radiation as they decay. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves; alpha and beta radiation are particles (a helium nucleus a

No It is true that the ILL was founded in 1967 and that the high-flux reactor went critical for the first time in 1971. However, the lifetime of a reactor is linked to the aging of the components “bom

g: The movement of the ground (“ground motion”) in the event of an earthquake is characterised in particular by its displacement, its velocity, its acceleration, its frequency and its duration. To qua

These are performed every ten years in all French nuclear installations. They involve a complete review of the safety studies on certain topics (selected by the operator and approved by the ASN) in th

Internal exposure occurs when the source of radiation is inside the body. It results in internal irradiation. The source may have entered the body by inhalation, ingestion or a skin injury, and then s
