IRSN and DSO national laboratories strengthen their collaboration in nuclear safety and crisis management

We're excited to announce that on October 22, 2024, in Singapore, Dr Jean-Christophe Niel, IRSN Director General and Mr Cheong Chee Hoo, CEO of DSO National Laboratories, signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

This MoU builds upon our partnership that started in 2013, demonstrating both entities' commitment to advancing nuclear safety and security through collaborative research and development.

The cooperation will focus on the safety of Generation 3 reactors and on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), as well as crisis management, inverse source term modelling based on environmental measurements, and neutron spectrometry. High-level technical exchanges and researcher exchanges (PhDs/ post-doctorates) will also play a crucial role in validating scientific data and refining calculation codes, further enhancing nuclear safety and security measures, through collaborative research.

We look forward to the innovations and advancements this strengthened collaboration will bring to the field of nuclear safety and security.
