Radiation Protection, Safety, Dismantling engineering (iRSD)
Research unit
iRSD is a unit of advice and expertise for nuclear research facilities. The engineers provide their experience and expertise in the fields of radiation protection, health and safety management at work, nuclear safety, decommissioning of nuclear facilities and radioactive waste management.
The iRSD intervenes in the framework of services (punctual work) or collaborations (long-term works) with laboratories of the CNRS or other national or European research institutions.
