On site

On arrival

When you arrive at the ILL site entrance, please report to the reception staff. As the site is a restricted area, you will need to produce proof of identification: passport, national identity card or a French residence permit to gain access (a driver's license is no longer accepted). You will then receive your entrance badge which gives you access to all buildings on the campus outside the ZAC (new controlled access zone: zone à accès contrôlé) . Failure to provide proof of identity (those described above) will mean you are denied access on site.

Then you must go the ZAC main entrance (ground floor reception in the new ILL50 building) where your entrance badge will be programmed to enter the ZAC, providing you with an access code. Your dosimeter will also be distributed at this stage. Reception at the ZAC entrance is open Monday to Saturday from 7am until 7pm, but closed on Sundays. It will still be possible to enter the site at night and on Sundays and go to the Guesthouse for example, but not to enter the ZAC. Once inside the ZAC, you will then need to go to the reactor entrance to get your badge to access the experimental areas (guide halls ILL7 or ILL22, ILL5). You can download a copy of the site map here (jpg - 234 Ki).

If you have not passed your online health physics training course, you will be asked to do so before being given your radiation film badge and warning beeper. Experimentalists staying longer than 3 months must follow a 1/2 day safety-training course.

Please note that access to the site and to the ZAC is only permitted within the specified dates mentioned in the invitation. It is important to adhere to these dates as access outside the designated period is not allowed.

If you need to store your luggage outside the ZAC temporarily, you can you use room 104, on the first floor of the ILL50 building. The door is not locked. Be aware: your luggage will not be attended to.
