Dismantling and clean-up of nuclear facilities is a global challenge for industries. The duration, cost and risks of such operations are highly dependent on the facilities history and the inventory of present radionuclides. These projects are significant sources of a wide range of radioactive waste, with specific societal, environmental and economic consequences. 

Applying a waste-led approach, the INSIDER project addresses these challenges by looking at the front end of decommissioning operations, namely pre-decommissioning characterisation. (...)

​The European project VERIFY, coordinated by the CEA, aims to provide the European Commission with a system to monitor greenhouse gas emissions declarations submitted by each country under the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change.

Since the pre-industrial era, atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased by 40 % and that of methane (CH4) by 150 % and, since 1980, nitrous oxide (N2O) levels have leapt by 20 %. These greenhouse gases (GHG) are the cause of rapid climate change, the harmful consequences of which are (...)

The European project NEW DEAL, coordinated by the CEA, aims to develop a highly selective and local therapy based on siRNA and using nanostructures carriers with an improved efficacy and safety profile for all inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients. It could improve efficacity and safety for all inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients.

IBDs are the second most common immune-mediated disorders in Europe, affecting more particularly young people. The current therapies, including antibodies, show three main drawbacks (...)
