### Supporting Our Clients 

We work in partnership with leading organisations across the nuclear sector, including EDF, CEA, ANDRA, delivering robust, validated data that underpins safe waste disposal, regulatory compliance, and operational performance.



 

 

 

 

#### Specialised Equipment & Infrastructure

Our laboratory houses a comprehensive range of modern equipment to ensure accuracy and performance at every stage:

- γ and α spectrometry measurement systems
- ICP-MS
- TOC analyser
- XRD diffractometer
- LECO GC-MS
- Ion chromatography systems
- Scintillation counters
- XLB alpha and beta gas counters
- Microwave digestion, combustion recovery systems
- Full radiation protection and contamination control systems



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

#### Research, Development & Innovation

Our work doesn’t stop at routine characterisation. Both laboratories lead and participate in forward-thinking R&D to tackle future nuclear waste challenges. Key collaborations include:

- Radon Retention in Vitrified Waste (Waste2Glass)
- Ion Exchange Resin Qualification (TEPCO)
- Mobile Laboratory Concept for Legacy Waste (CEA)
- Active Sludge Stabilisation via Cementing (EDF)

We develop and qualify new analytical protocols, simulate complex waste behaviours, and test innovative stabilisation techniques, leveraging wider Veolia expertise in effluent treatment and environmental solutions.
