Nuclear forensics provides information on nuclear material of unknown origin that has been intercepted during illicit trafficking or nuclear smuggling
Actinide research
Actinides elements are the backbone of nuclear fission technologies. They are used in many strategic fields, from space exploration to medical diagnostic and treatments.
As actinides are radio-toxic, it is necessary to carry out reliable safety assessments of their behaviour. This requires advanced understanding of the basic chemical and physical properties of actinide materials at a deep level.
