EAGLES consortium launches international pre-licensing
16/09/2025
In September 2025, the EAGLES consortium and nuclear supervisors in Belgium (FANC), Italy (ISIN) and Romania (CNCAN) officially launched the international pre-licensing of lead-cooled small, modular reactors (SMR): EAGLES-300. This is a first, because never before have national supervisors already worked together in the design phase of an advanced SMR. The kick-off was marked with a signing ceremony in the presence of IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi and Minister for Energy Mathieu Bihet.

SCK CEN joins BeCRA
27/11/2025
The Belgian health institute Sciensano announced the establishment of the Belgian Cancer Research Alliance (BeCRA) with great pomp. And with good reason, as this alliance provides Europe with a strong partner in the fight against cancer. By coordinating and streamlining cancer research at a national level, BeCRA is responding (even more so) to the European cancer control plan. “We are really proud to be involved from the outset,” says Sarah Baatout, Deputy Institute Director of NMA.
