The Saclay Nuclear Research Centre in the Essonne department of northern France is one of 9 laboratories belonging to the CEA. It is the administrative headquarters of the CEA and also hosts a laboratory.
The complex employs 5000 scientists and is located south of Paris on the Saclay plateau.
The resaerch acrried out ranges from fundamental research to applied research and, thanks to the Orpheus research reactor, lasers and magnetic ressonance research into the State of Matter.
Applied nuclear reserach
Resaerch is carried out to optimise current and future french nuclear reactors using the Osiris experimental reactor and the Tamaris earthquake simulation laboratory as well as further research into nuclear waste management.
Technology research
Research into IT systems used in nuclear installations, man-machine interface as well as sensor technology.
Health reserach
Reserach into the effects of radioactivity on living celles and molecules, protein engineering and Medical imaging.
Environmental research
Research into the effects of climate change and greenhouse gases.
The INSTN
The centre also houses the Institut national des sciences et techniques nucléaires (INSTN) which is dedicated to the academic and professional training in the field of atomic energy.
