When a major natural event occurs, emergency teams need rapid, reliable and complete information to take operational decisions.
The Joint Research Centre works on disaster risk management, resilience for natural and man-made hazards, cybersecurity, data protection, and crime & terrorism prevention.
JRC scientists develop tools and technologies that collect, analyse and make sense of a huge amount of information from various sources when disaster strikes.
This research focuses on safety limits of nuclear fuels and cycles under normal and accidental scenarios, and on the fuels’ behaviour under harsh reactor conditions.
