    The Belgian Nuclear Society, in association with SCK•CEN, the Institute for Radioelements (IRE), and the JRC, is organising a conference on nuclear sciences in physics and medical applications. The conference will take place at the JRC-IRMM in Geel, Belgium. The main purpose of the conference is to promote nuclear science and innovation and to demonstrate its impact on new technologies and health in Belgium and at international level. The programme addresses research in nuclear sciences, and with its applications in nuclear physics (neutron data measurements at JRC-IRMM), and for the production of radio-isotopes for medical application (production reactor at SCK•CEN and targets processing at IRE).
