Award-winning students at the BNS Nuclear Science Contest

To promote nuclear research performed by students and junior professionals, SCK CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Society (BNS) and the Belgian Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Materials (ONDRAF/NIRAS) grant awards for the best research work related to nuclear applications and organise a joint award ceremony. On December 15, 2022 we were happy to find out that more SCK CEN was awarded:
