Partner 6 Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN)
The Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Saftey, France, is a public establishment on an
industrial and commercial nature under the joint auspices of the Ministers of Defence, the
Environment, Industry Research and Health. IRSN carries out research, analysis and work within the
fields of nuclear safety and protection against ionising radiation. The institute provides support for
educational courses.
Prof. C. Tamponnet is employed at the IRSN/DEI/SECRE based at CEA Cadarache, St Paul lez
Durance, France and is Professor at the Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires
(National Institute of Nuclear Sciences and Engineering). He has a particular interest in the provision
of post-graduate and in-house radiological protection training and brings to the consortium his
considerable experience of nuclear technology educational provision in France - which compared
with many other national programmes is healthy.
Partner 7 Lund University (ULUND)
Lund University was established in 1668 and is the largest university in the Nordic countries with
34,000 students. The Department of Radiation Physics employs 40 persons, including PhD students.
Teaching is undertaken at masters and doctorate levels. The department has a long history in
radioecology, radiochemistry, nuclear measurement techniques and radiation dosimetry for
protection. The department has developed international links in the areas of research and training
with the Risoe National Laboratory and University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
Prof. E. Holm is Head of the Department of Radiation Physics, Professor at Risoe, Denmark and
Professor II at Svalbard, Norway. Previously he was head of radiogeochemistry at the IAEA Marine
Laboratory in Monaco. He is European editor of the International Journal of Environmental
Radioactivity and co-ordinator of the low-level group of the International Committee for
Radionuclide Metrology.
Partner 8 European Underground Research Infrastructure for Disposal of Nuclear Waste in
a Clay Environment (EURIDICE)
ESV EURIDICE GIE (The European Underground Research Infrastructure for Disposal of Nuclear
Waste in Clay Environment) is an Economic Interest Grouping between NIRAS/ONDRAF and
SCK.CEN (the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre). ESV EURIDICE GIE is in charge of the
management and the operation of the HADES Underground Research Facilities located in Mol and
of the realisation of demonstration tests at surface and in-situ. The HADES Underground Research
Laboratory in operation since 1984 has given a very long scientific experience and technical knowhow.
ESV EURIDICE GIE participates in the CLIPEX project (EC contract FI4W-CT96-0028) and
in SELFRAC project (EC FIKW-CT-2001-00182) as co-ordinator and in the FEBEX II project
(FIKW-CT-2000-0016) and ESDRED project as contractor.
Partner 9 Consorzio Interuniversitario per la Ricerca Tecnologica Nucleare (CIRTEN)
The CIRTEN Consortium was constituted in 1994 by the Polytechnics of Milano and Torino and the
Universities of Padova, Palermo, Pisa and Roma to promote the scientific and technological research
and to co-ordinate the Universities participation to the knowledge development and collaboration
with national and international Research Institutions and Industries in the study and practical
