Paris, June 13, 2022. The European Partnership for Radiation Protection Research will contribute to improving the protection of the public, workers, patients and the environment from environmental, occupational and medical exposure to ionizing radiation. It brings together 58 partners representing 22 European Union countries as well as the United Kingdom Read more
The dosimeters of the Space Research Department of the ELKH Centre for Energy Research (CER) are also part of the experiment that takes place in the first mission of NASA’s Artemis program. The mission will provide key data on the cosmic radiation field for the future creation of human crewed Read more
At a livestreamed event in Brussels on 5 July 2022, EUROfusion will celebrate the start of conceptual design activities for Europe’s first demonstration fusion power plant DEMO. This first-of-a-kind fusion device would demonstrate the net production of 300 to 500 megawatts of clean and safe fusion energy to the grid Read more
Dr. Csaba Balázsi, scientific advisor of the Institute of Technical Physics and Materials Science, ELKH Centre for Energy Research was elected as Academician of the World Academy of Ceramics „ for outstanding contributions to ceramic science for applications ranging from engineering to biomedical fields and his outstanding efforts in collaboration Read more
Dr. Béla Faragó, head of the International Scientific Advisory Committee of BNC, distinguished scientist of Institute Laue Langevin (ILL), was elected as external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) in 2019. It was only 27 April, 2022 that Dr. Faragó’s membership was celebrated at HAS in Budapest. On Read more
An event called Technical Meeting on Nuclear Forensics: From National Foundations to Global Impact was held at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from 11 to 14 April 2022, with the participation of members from the CER Nuclear Security Department (NSD) and the staff of the RRSP National Bureau of Read more
Last week saw the first in-person round table discussion of heritage sciences at the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC) for some time. Happily, 14 colleagues from across the BNC were able to attend including two new members who will also be contributing to research in heritage sciences: Zoltán Kovács has joined Read more
Record results announced today are the clearest demonstration in a quarter of a century of the potential for fusion energy to deliver safe and sustainable low-carbon energy. Researchers from the EUROfusion consortium – 4,800 experts, students and staff from across Europe, co-funded by the European Commission and including researchers from Read more
Since the beginning of 2021, Centre for Energy Research have been engaged in the EU-project EASI-STRESS with partners from industry, academia and research and technology organisations (RTOs). Now, the results of the first measurements are becoming public. Residual stresses in metals may lead to catastrophic failures under fatigue processes and Read more
The Gateway space station, to be built in orbit around the Moon in the mid-2020s, will not be protected by the Earth’s magnetic field or the atmosphere; hence, astronauts could be exposed to up to 700 times the radiation dose of an average human on Earth from space radiation. Therefore, Read more
