The JRC has opened 4 calls to access JRC nuclear research infrastructures

The JRC will open four of its European facilities for nuclear reaction and decay data measurements in Geel. Such measurements help to make nuclear reactors and the handling of nuclear waste safer, and enhance radiological protection for citizens and the environment.

The calls are addressed to external users from academia and research organisations, industry, SMEs, and more in general from the private and public sectors.

You will find all relevant information here: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/research-facility/open-access such as

  • Priority topics listed under the calls
