« A unique model for the development of all activities related to irradiation »

ATRON Metrology is a technological platform based on a breakthrough technology in nuclear instrumentation, which aims to abandon the use of radioactive sources in favor of controlled irradiation, generated by an electrostatic electron accelerator.

While ATRON Metrology's primary vocation is the calibration of radiation survey meters for the nuclear, medical or defense industries, the many applications it offers in related fields make it a unique model for the development of all radiation activities.

ATRON Metrology has proven the interest of such a platform for many applications in the fields of nuclear (EDF, ENGIE), space (ESA, CNES) or academic research (CNRS, CEA).

The platform includes in particular:

An electrostatic electron accelerator with a removable X target

Tools allowing irradiation in special conditions

A measurement and analysis laboratory

A team with various scientific skills

Initiated in 2015, the ATRON Metrology project was born from a strong ambition of CERAP Prevention to consolidate its position in the field of nuclear instrumentation.

2015

Development by CERAP of a method for calibrating survey meters without radioactive sources

2018

Start of operation of ATRON Metrology and realization of the first irradiations

2021

Participation in international R&D programs and obtaining COFRAC accreditation n° 2-6778
