The LN1 Laboratory within ATALANTE has been commissioned in May 2005.
The LN1 Laboratory within the ATALANTE facility in Marcoule is dedicated to molecular chemistry of all actinides in solution, solid state and at interfaces. Its main scope is the chemical and physico-chemical study of transuranic samples to understand at the molecular scale the behavior of actinide compounds with selective ligands. |

First Radioactive Experiments Performed at the INE-Beamline
The first radioactive experiments have been performed at the INE-Beamline at the synchrotron source ANKA (Angstromquelle Karlsruhe). The INE-Beamline has been constructed by the Institut für Nukleare Entsorgung (INE) at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK), Germany. Professor Thomas Fanghänel, director of INE, comments, “This is a big step forward for actinide research especially in Europe.” The unique aspect of the INE-Beamline is that it is in close proximity to INE’s active laboratories on the FZK site, with all necessary infrastructure for working with radioactive samples and well-equipped with state-of-the-art spectroscopic (notably laser-based) and analytical techniques. This is singular in all of Europe. |
