SCK•CEN is internationally recognized as a centre of excellence for research on the safety of nuclear installations, radiation protection and decommissioning and decontamination. Our research reactors, specialized laboratories and irradiation facilities are suited for various kinds of research activities, analysis and tests.

SCK•CEN delivers services to internal clients, the nuclear industry, the medical sector and the government in the following areas:

Radiation protection dosimetry and calibration Anthropogammametry Dosimetry Non-nuclear calibrations Nuclear calibrations Instrumentation service Reactor dosimetry	Low-level radioactivity measurements Sampling, sample preparation and sample management Gross alpha and beta counting Gamma-ray spectrometry Actinide and polonium measurements Radium and radon measurements Strontium and iodine measurements Liquid scintillation counting Source preparation Neutron activation analysis
Irradiations Gamma irradiations High neutron flux irradiation Radioisotope production Silicon doping Calibrated neutron flux irradiation	Material testing Radiochemical analysis Structural materials Mechanical and corrosion analysis Microstructural and non-destructive analysis
Decommissioning and decontamination	Filter tests

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

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

SCK•CEN also spreads its 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.
