The IRSN field of expertise
covers all of the risks related to ionising rays used within
industry or medicine, or even natural radiation rays. More precisely,
the IRSN will carry out missions relating to analysis and research
in the following fields:
- the safety of nuclear installations, including those relating
to defence
- the safety of the transport of radioactive and fissile materials
- the protection of man and the environment against ionising
rays
- the protection and control of nuclear materials and products
likely to be used in the manufacture of weapons
- the protection of installations and transport against acts
of malevolence (theft or misappropriation of nuclear materials,
or even sabotage).
The research activities, most often carried out within the framework
of international programmes, will enable the IRSN to maintain
and to develop its expertise and to establish its international
stature as a specialist in the risks within its fields of expertise.
