Scientific collaboration
New framework agreement between IRSN and Université Paris-Sud 11
16/06/2010
Early in 2010, IRSN and
Université Paris-Sud 11, the second-largest university in France with 2200 research scientists and lecturers, signed a five-year framework agreement for a
scientific collaboration. The areas of scientific interest concerned by the agreement are the physics, production, and metrology of aerosols. The Laboratory for the Physics of Gases and Plasmas (LPGP, UMR CNRS-UPS 8578) at Université Paris-Sud 11 will contribute its knowledge and expertise on electrical discharges at atmospheric pressure, and particularly their use for the production and charging of aerosols.
At IRSN, three laboratories specializing in aerosols in nuclear installations, are working together: the
Aerosol Physics and Metrology Laboratory (LPMA), the
Laboratory for the Study and Modeling of Airborne Contamination and Containment (LEMAC) and the Cherbourg-Octeville Radio-ecology Laboratory (LRC). Exploratory research has already begun financed by the Institute, on the development of real-time granulometric measurement methods. IRSN and LPGP have already worked together on two occasions, between 1992 and 2002, on the electrical charging of aerosols by corona discharge.
