SCK CEN – Belgian Nuclear Research Centre
SCK CEN is one of the largest research institutions in Belgium. Every day, more than 900 employees dedicate themselves to developing peaceful applications of radioactivity. Their developments have already resulted in a long list of innovative and forward-looking applications for the medical world, industry and the energy sector.
Multi-purpose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications – MYRRHA
The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK CEN) is actively working on designing and building this multifunctional research installation in Mol. MYRRHA is the very first prototype in the world of a nuclear reactor, driven by a particle accelerator with a significant thermal output.
Cyclotron Research Centre at Louvain – la – Neuve
The main activities of the CRC can be classified into two categories:
- Research and development in the field of particle accelerators, ion sources and their applications
- Production of accelerated ion beams for nuclear physics, chemistry, medicine, isotope production, and technological applications

Institute for Nuclear and Radiation Physics at KU Leuven
At the “Instituut voor Kern- en Stralingsfysica”, embedded in the Department of Physics and Astronomyat the K.U.Leuven, fundamental research of matter on the femto- and nanometer scale (nuclear physics / solid-state physics with nuclear methods) is performed.
Laboratory for Plasma Physics of the Royal Military Academy
The laboratory is conducting experimental and theoretical research on plasma physics and fusion energy in the framework of the Association EURATOM-Belgian State for thermonuclear fusion. The expertise of the Laboratory for Plasma Physics is concentrated primarily in the domain of Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH).
JRC Geel – IRMM
The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) is one of the seven institutes of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), a Directorate-General of the European Commission (EC).
The mission is to promote a common and reliable European measurement system in support of EU policies.
