This is not the first time that SCK CEN has made use of this technique. In the 1980s, it was already performed in laboratories. Today, IRE and SCK CEN have developed, optimised and fine-tuned it. In 2020, we could apply it on a semi-industrial scale.</p> <blockquote> <p><span><span><span><span lang="EN-GB">💡</span> <strong><a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="1a887342-91c6-4e1f-8a75-a8a4fa3c0aaf" href="/en/expertises/nuclear-lifecycle/radiochemistry" title="Radiochemistry">Click here</a></strong> to learn more about radiochemistry.</span></span></span></p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>The construction of a European first</strong></h3> <p>In March 2022, the competent authorities have officially approved this project.
