Our Services

SCK•CEN is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for research on the safety of nuclear installations, radiation protection and decommissioning and decontamination.

Our research reactors, specialised laboratoria and irradiation facilities are suited for various kinds of research activities and tests. Several expert groups are specialized in services in the following areas:

Radiation protection dosimetry and calibration Anthropogammametry Dosimetry Non-nuclear calibrations Nuclear calibrations Instrumentation service	Reactor and nuclear measurements Gamma ray spectrometry Neutron activation analysis Non-destructive assay Radioactive standard sources Reactor dosimetry
Irradiations Calibrated neutron flux irradiation Gamma irradiations High neutron flux irradiation Radioisotope production Silicon doping	Material testing Mechanical and corrosion analysis Microstructural and non-destructive analysis Radiochemical analysis Structural materials
Decommissioning and decontamination	Filter tests

In these areas we offer services to internal clients, the nuclear industry, the medical sector and the government.

We have made a an overview of the radiophysical and radiochemical measurement and destructive and non-destructive techniques at SCK•CEN. The information is meant to be a practical guide to select particular techniques to solve well defined problems.

SCK•CEN is maintaining a Quality Assurance (QA) system according to the international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 17025.

We also spread our knowledge and know-how through various education and training activities. We organize training courses on radiation protection, waste & disposal, decommissioning, nuclear technology and ohter nuclear topics. We also offer academic courses and programmes for graduate students and PhD and post-doc researchers.
