Visie Nucleaire KennisinfrastructuurPublic research
The part of our research that is paid for by the government has immediate benefits for society. It is therefore made available to our government authorities and policy makers. Our expertise and know-how can broadly be divided into 4 high-profile focus areas.
Safe carbon-neutral energy
Climate change demands immediate action: emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 must be reduced. We are saying goodbye to coal, oil and gas, and embracing new low-carbon technologies. Nuclear energy is an excellent example of such a technology. Along with other sustainable sources of energy, nuclear power supplies carbon-neutral energy for society’s needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you want to know more about today’s safe carbon-neutral nuclear energy, you have come to the right place. Our experts are available to answer political and policy questions about safe nuclear energy and how make our energy provision climate neutral.

Radiation protection
Every moment of the day your body is exposed to radiation. Only the amount of radiation is so low that you do not notice it. Due to the use of radioactivity in hospitals and energy installations, these ratios are sometimes different. To measure radiation more accurately, NRG is contributing to research into new dosimeters, which measure how much radiation an individual is being exposed to. These personal detectors protect doctors and other professionals against high doses of radiation.
Our country has several nuclear reactors and laboratories that process radioactive substances. We also have hospitals with radioactive instruments and procedures. Safety is a top priority.
NRG can help you with questions about new insights, changes to legislation, legal limits and exposure to radiation.
