Exploring a better tomorrow
We are constantly exploring. And have been since 1952. Driven by our passion for nuclear technology and empowered by our unique infrastructure. SCK CEN explores the limits of the possible. In this way, we continuously expand our knowledge in various nuclear fields. But no matter how many directions we explore, we always have the same goal in mind: developing innovative nuclear applications for a better world. Why? Because we are convinced that we can make a gigantic difference with one of the smallest elements on Earth – the atom. Both now and in the future. For people and nature. Read on and you will discover exactly how we do it.

NORM industry residues get new life in consumer products
Reusing phosphogypsum waste in paper or detergent: that is the aim of the new European project FIC Fighters. Today, those gypsum residues, which emanate from the production of fertilisers, for example, are stored in landfills. That however presents ecological and social challenges. On the one hand, these residues contain heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc, and arsenic, and on the other hand, radioactive materials. FIC Fighters wants to build two mobile demo plants to recover materials and work together with citizens in response to the latest regulations. SCK CEN is taking on a unique role as the project’s sole radiological partner.
