IAEA Scientific Visit to SCK CEN

Job description The Biosphere Impact Studies (BIS) research unit at SCK CEN in Mol is looking for a researcher who combines experimental work and modelling to evaluate the dispersion, exposure, and effects of radiological contamination on humans and the environment. Within the multidisciplinary BIS team, you work at the interface of laboratory...

SCK CEN in Belgium seeks a Research Project Leader in the Radiochemistry group to drive the development of state-of-the-art radiochemical processes supporting nuclear fuel cycle and medical radio-isotopes. You will lead projects, supervise a multidisciplinary team, and ensure robust results and compliant safety analyses.You will collaborate with internal...

Job description: Radiochemical processes are a key aspect in various strategic topics that are explored at SCK CEN. We want to play an important role in climate-neutral energy production by developing innovative nuclear systems such as small modular reactors (SMR). Closing the nuclear fuel cycle by aqueous and pyrochemical processes will be essential to...

The manuscript of Serena's PhD entitled 'From Stress to Recovery: Molecular and miRNA mediated regulation of Gamma Irradiation responses in Rice' deals the unraveling the molecular mechanisms and rice responses to acute gamma irradiation, with particular emphasis on transcriptional regulation, recovery-associated processes, and miRNA-mediated stress...

Headline Do you want to contribute, through experiments and modelling, to understanding the impact of radioactivity on people and the environment?Highlights You combine laboratory experiments with the development of models You translate biological processes into models for impact assessment studies and remediation projects You contribute to projects and...

Context Since its very start in 1952, SCK CEN has studied scientific and technical issues of the nuclear fuel cycle. During this history of nuclear fuel research, SCK CEN has investigated innovative concepts for future developments, assisted the nuclear industry in their challenges to improve reliability, efficiency and safety of nuclear fuel and performed...

In Belgium, ONDRAF/NIRAS (the federal agency responsible for managing radioactive waste and enriched fissile materials in Belgium) and SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Centre) have been conducting research on the concept of a deep geological repository (DGR), within poorly indurated clays, as a solution for the long-term management of low-level and...
