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.

PWC-7 excels again with successful nuclear fuel experiment in BR2
Earlier this month, the last fuel pin of an experimental project was unloaded in the hot cells at BR2 from the PWC-7 (Pressurized Water Capsule, 7th generation), the experimental installation in use at BR2 since 2021 to perform power transients on commercial nuclear fuel pins. “This event in fact marked the end of a year-long process for us, demonstrating that we can effectively cope with a failure of the test pin in the PWC, and perform these experiments on a routine basis”, informs Simon Billiet, project leader transient fuel testing.
