Second on-site benchmarking exercises completed
The INSIDER project is developing a validation method of the radiological characterisation for the nuclear installations under decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) process. The in-situ benchmarking exercises are a fundamental part of this objective, and the first round was completed in 2018. Within the frame of INSIDER and in the autumn 2019, the second on-site benchmarking exercise was carried out at the JRC
Join the INSIDER knowledge platform!
As one of the INSIDER partners, the Joint Research Centre (JRC Science Hub) set up an INSIDER Knowledge Platform to foster learning exchange in the field of decommissionning and radioactive waste management of nuclear facilities and restoring sites. Experts and young generations of researchers will access here knowledge generated through past and on-going R&D projects across the EU. TOPICS COVERED Sampling

MAPPING EXISTING STANDARDS LINKED TO INSIDER
As one of the INSIDER partners, LNE collaborated with AFNOR to establish a mapping of existing standards directly linked to INSIDER’s topics. More than 270 documents have been identified from: Association française de normalisation (AFNOR) American Petroleum Institute (API) American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) International Electrotechnical Commission
Second set of INSIDER in-situ measurements
In the frame of the INSIDER project, an experimental benchmark is planned to test the characterisation methodologies developed in the project on some real cases of ongoing decommissioning projects. After having performed the first exercise on the biological shield of a nuclear reactor, the second one has started in October 2019. This new exercise deals with the characterisation of two
INSIDER presentation at the IAEA regional workshop
From 4-8 November, Sven Boden (SCK•CEN) was together with representatives from CEA, Sellafield Ltd and VUJE invited by the IAEA as experts to participate in the IAEA Regional Workshop on Characterisation of Areas Affected by Accidents or High Dose Rate Areas. Hosted by the RAW (State Enterprise Radioactive Waste) in Kozloduy (Bulgaria), the workshop covered aspects related to radiological characterisation for
EPJ-N special edition – Call for INSIDER papers
There is still time to send your paper and get published in a special edition of the European Physical Journal Nuclear (EPJ-N)! The INSIDER project will be part of a special issue of the European Physical Journal Nuclear (EPJ-N). This new edition will include the first results of the research carried out in INSIDER and cover the focus on “Step change innovation

First INSIDER Training Course in Italy
The European Learning Initiatives for Nuclear Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation (ELINDER) is a training programme in nuclear decommissioning. The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission organised a specific training course on Metrology for Radioactive Waste Characterisation and Clearance in Ispra (Italy) from 16 to 20 September 2019. This is one of the four courses dealing with a more in
