Lesson materials 'Life after Fukushima'

Belgian youngsters know too little about radioactivity and nuclear risks. This is what Joke Kenens (KU Leuven/SCK CEN) noticed when she stood in front of the classroom in 2018. Today, she is launching the ‘Life after Fukushima’ lesson materials tailored to young people in the 12^th and 13^th years. The big deal? The accompanying computer game in which you can measure radioactivity yourself.

Customised lectures and visits

The SCK CEN Academy contributes to many outreach activities, STEM projects and science contests. Do you want to involve researchers from SCK CEN in your next project? Please contact us.

For general information on radioactivity, radioactive waste and nuclear energy, please refer to the BNS publication "Understanding Nuclear Energy" (only in NL or FR), the NIRAS webpage on radioactive waste (only in NL or FR) or the UNEP publication "Radiation: effects and sources". 

Lectures and technical visits for secondary school teachers

As part of our continuous professional development programme, the SCK CEN Academy organises lectures and technical visits adapted to secondary school teachers.

Furthermore, we gladly share educational material about the various research domains in which SCK CEN is active. For general information about radioactivity and nuclear energy, please consult the BNS publication 'better understanding of nuclear energy' (in NL or FR), the NIRAS-ONDRAF webpage on nuclear waste (in NL or FR) or the UNEP publication 'Radiation: effects and sources'.
