Becquerel network (The)

To address the societal concerns raised by the impact of natural and artificial radioactivity on humans and the environment, seven laboratories of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics (IN2P3) of the CNRS have pooled their resources to create a national platform for radioactivity analysis: the Becquerel Network. Patrick Chardon and Addil Sellam who are engineers in two of the seven network member laboratories explain its advantages.
Enabling on-site interventions, detailed laboratory analyses, unique expertise and based on the neutral status of the CNRS, this network is a major player in the eminently societal issue of radioactivity.
