News of research results

Partner article with Pour la science

In 2020, IRSN initiated a partnership with the magazine Pour la science. The first issue was published in June.

Fukushima. What happened to the radioactive caesium in forests?

Pour la science n°512 - juin 2020

The online magazine Aktis

Aktis focuses on IRSN’s latest research news and results, with the aim of making the Institute’s research better-known among the French and global scientific community.

It is a multimedia quarterly that provides concise descriptions of scientific results, highlighting the way in which research interacts with assessment work, as well as its interdisciplinary and collaborative aspects.
