SCK CEN

📢 Inauguration of our MaT Building alongside 18 enthusiastic 10-year-olds! 🤩 This 'workshop of the future' is a big step in #sustainable #decommissioning and radioactive #waste management. Learn more in our news article: 🔗 sckcen.be/en/news/sck-ce……

💡 Major milestone for BR3: 2,200 tonnes of concrete from the BR3 bioshield were meticulously removed. ➡️ No radioactive waste remains thanks to the conditional clearance process. 🔗 Full article: sckcen.be/en/news/major-…

📰 Teaming up with a Belgian consortium, we're aiding the transformation of a historically contaminated site in #Latvia into a green industrial zone! 🌱 Read about our characterization work: sckcen.be/en/news/belgia… ☢️#siteremediation

Our EU-SMR-LFR project receives support from the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors! ⚡ Together with @ENEAOfficial, @Ansaldo_Nuclear & RATEN, we strengthen our ambition for lead-cooled fast reactors in Europe’s #energytransition! 🌍 sckcen.be/en/news/europe…

Excited to be part of Thera4Care! 🎗️ SCK CEN will lead preclinical research on radioligand therapy for ovarian cancer using terbium-161 with FAPI. We're working with leading institutions to pave the way for Phase 1 clinical trials. Discover more: sckcen.be/en/news/sck-ce…

Silver-exchanged zeolites for trapping radioxenon? Check! ✅ Proud to announce a major advancement in detecting clandestine nuclear tests with AgZs. 🔗 Read more: sckcen.be/en/news/nuclea…… 🤝@uhasselt, @IRE_IRE_ELiT, @PWr_Wroclaw.

We are proud that our VENUS reactor, after being used for decades already to improve the safety of existing nuclear systems, is now serving as a valuable tool for the development of next generation reactor systems again!

📢 Belgium launches an action plan to give #cancerpatients broader access to #RadioligandTherapy! ☢️ A major step forward in the fight against cancer. Read more: 🔗 sckcen.be/en/news/belgia…… #HealthcareInnovation #NuclearMedicine #RLT

In 2022, we set ambitious goals in a new strategic plan. How have we fared so far? 📢 Our latest annual report, "Highlights 2023," showcases all developments of the previous year. ☢️ Have we made an impact? Judge for yourself: 🔗 highlights.sckcen.be.

#NNSA is proud of our partnership with @SCKCEN on converting Belgian Reactor 2 from highly enriched uranium to HALEU. This was a transformative step in creating stable supply chains of molybdenum-99 and other medical isotopes while eliminating a proliferation risk.

@share_ssh @KU_Leuven @RGeysmans78996 @TheAcademia Congrats, Dr. Brookhuis! 💪

Look inside HADES, the oldest underground research lab buried in a deep clay formation in Europe. As deep as 225m underground in 🇧🇪, it’s used for experimental research on disposing of high level &/or long-lived radioactive waste. More from @SCKCEN 👉 bit.ly/3Te9JVl

Ingrid Maes @inovigate: "Belgium has all the necessary ingredients to innovate, but the system is not yet ready. Success requires co-creation, a new approach whose best path remains unknown. Waiting is not an option; we must start now, learn, and adapt." 💬Workshop by @EU2024BE🇧🇪

Jan Jille: "I consider myself as an European, but born in the NL, moved to Belgium when cancer was discovered, now living in Portugal & receiving treatment in Belgium, I know that if I would have undergone treatment in a different country, I would have followed a different path."

Jan Jille, patient at @UZLeuven, testified: "Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT) is known for its limited side effects. Now I also received the treatment, I can confirm." 💬 - Workshop: Securing Access to Radiopharmaceuticals for all European Patients by @EU2024BE 🇧🇪

How do we anchor efficient healthcare with radiopharmaceuticals in Europe? ☢️🇪🇺 Let's find out at Belgian EU Presidency Workshop: Securing Access to Radiopharmaceuticals for all European Patients by @EU2024BE 🇧🇪

Exciting news! 🔥 Europe greenlights groundbreaking nuclear furnace project in Belgium! Led by SCK CEN and CRM Group, this initiative aims to revolutionize nuclear dismantling and promote a circular economy. How? 👉 sckcen.be/en/news/nuclea… #CircularEconomy #NuclearSustainability

On #WorldCancerDay, let's reflect on the impact of this disease and celebrate the hope and progress in cancer treatments. 🌍💜 Our BR2 reactor played a crucial role, aiding over 11 million patients in 2023. 🏥💉 Read the inspiring story here: sckcen.be/en/news/br2-ma… #CancerFight

📜Our #SINFONIA project has just published an article on the impact of medical #radionuclide discharges on people and the #environment in the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This modelling study was performed by our project partner @SCKCEN 👏
