Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique

The CEA (Atomic Energy Commission) is a French Governmental Research Organization (15000 employees) devoted to both fundamental and industrial R&D. For the needs of its programs, CEA develops a strong activity in the field of nanomaterials (new generation of composites for nuclear field as well as for industrial advanced materials). In particular, CEA develops at pilot scale innovative technologies for the mass production of nanoparticles. From the point of view of safety, these new systems are fully enclosed, preventing the release of nanoparticle to the atmosphere.
