- Videos |Sharing EU laboratories – tiny particles, big possibilities
Romanian researchers track the most elusive of particles - neutrons - to help nuclear pioneers develop better cancer treatments and safe energy with less waste.
- Photos |Nuclear Facilities Verification Laboratory
The JRC’s in-house laser based systems enable nuclear safeguards inspectors to efficiently create maps of nuclear facilities to monitor changes over time.
- Photos |The ESSOR Reactor and INE Complex at the Joint Research Centre
The ESSOR reactor used to be a heavy water moderated and cooled nuclear reactor. INE Complex is a facility involved in the nuclear decommissioning programme of the JRC Ispra site.
- Photos |The Whole Body Counter Laboratory of the Joint Research Centre
The Whole Body Counter is part of the radiation protection laboratories within the nuclear decommissioning unit and monitors radioactive contamination within the human body.
- Photos |The Electronics laboratory of the Joint Research Centre
The JRC's electronics laboratory in Italy ensures the correct functioning of all radiation protection instruments by electronic calibration and daily performance check.
- Photos |The Laboratory for Radioactive Measurements
The Laboratory for Radioactive Measurements of the Joint Research Centre is based in Ispra, Italy.
- Photos |The Dosimetry Service of the Joint Research Centre
Our service offers personal dosimeters for indoor radon measurements in workplaces. The Calibration Centre has been accredited since 1997
- Videos |Nuclear inspection: 3D scanner
An innovative 3D scanner has been designed to inspect an unusual underground site - a nuclear waste storage facility in Finland
- Videos |Nuclear research at the JRC
A short introduction into nuclear research at the Joint Research Centre.
- Videos |Safeguards and security
EU scientists provide technical and scientific support for the development of tools which are used in the identification of illicit procurement activities.
- Interactive Tools/Games |The nuclear cycle
Did you know that one third of Europe's energy is produced by nuclear reactors and there are around 130 reactors operating in the EU?
- Virtual Tours |Take a virtual tour of the Nuclear Forensic Laboratory
Nuclear forensics provides information on nuclear material of unknown origin that has been intercepted during illicit trafficking or nuclear smuggling
- Animations |Over 20 years of radioactivity monitoring
The JRC's platform for exchanging radiological data is a powerful tool to protect population and to monitor radioactivity in EU during an emergency or under normal conditions.
- Videos |Atomic detectives
EU scientists demonstrate how seized nuclear material is analysed by forensic methods, how inspectors are trained and how nuclear materials can be 'fingerprinted'.
