International Conference on Research Reactors:
Safe Management and Effective Utilization

14-18 November 2011, Rabat, Morocco

Research reactors offer essential support for a country’s nuclear power generation industry. They have for many years now provided this support in countless ways: They have made it possible to test new developments, to act as the forerunners for pressurised water reactor operations, for qualifying components, training operators as well as allowing the production of radioactive elements for medical or industrial purposes and they have also be used to perform tests on materials. In a word, they have definitively made a difference in our everyday life. For some forty years now, through its various iterations, AREVA TA has taken part in, or led the design and production of more than twenty research reactors and today, within AREVA, has the leading role in energies that generate lower CO₂ emissions and in the range of engineering specialties and services offered by the group in this field, alongside CERCA, the world leader in the supply of fuel for research reactors. All of this, in a competitive worldwide market that is more than ever dominated by the need to meet the expectations of the general public.
