Description
The Nuclear Technological Centre (NuTeC) is a research group of Hasselt University (UHasselt) and connected to the master program in Nuclear Technology at the Faculty of Engineering Technology. The research group NuTeC is integrated in the larger research institute the Centre for Environmental Sciences (CMK).
This research group operates at the intersection of several crucial areas in the field of radiological sciences, focusing on radiological analysis, reuse and management, and medical dosimetry.
NuTeC is specialised in low-level radiological analysis of materials containing enhanced concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides. Through rigorous research and collaboration, we strive to enhance our understanding of radiological phenomena and develop novel approaches to address emerging challenges. Our commitment to sustainability drives our efforts in reuse and management, where we explore innovative strategies for the immobilisation of radioactive waste, the decommissioning of NORM sites, reuse and management of NORM residues, and nuclear decommissioning. Lastly, our group is actively involved in advancing medical dosimetry, focussing on dosimetry auditing service for radiotherapy departments and R&D regarding medical dosimetry e.g. dosimetry audits, dosimetry for biological experiments, micro dosimetry, nanoparticles, small animal irradiations and dosimetry in small fields and kV X-rays.
Through multidisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to excellence, our research group continues to make significant strides in the field of radiological sciences, driving innovation and fostering a safer, more sustainable future.
