Better management of tritium

Tritium, a hydrogen isotope produced or used at civil and military nuclear facilities, is a research challenge particularly in the energy sector. TRANSversal Actions for Tritium (Transat) is a multidisciplinary project that aims to improve knowledge of tritium management in fission and fusion facilities.
Transat aims to make an active contribution to the development of new policy frameworks and European and international rules for safer use and management of tritium, in close collaboration with nuclear regulators' associations (WENRA and ENSREG) (...).

Smart white canes for the visually impaired
Inspex is a mobile detection device that can be attached to a white cane to help visually impaired individuals locate obstacles more effectively, in three dimensions. The technologies developed for this project could find applications in many areas, including smart homes, drones and factories of the future.
Developed by a European consortium coordinated by the CEA, Inspex is being specially designed for the visually impaired. Fixed to the user's white cane, Inspex is equipped with sensors that measure the distance between them and any obstacles (...).

Managing the risk of having a second stroke
Europe is developing a decision support and self-management system to inform stroke survivors of the relation between their daily activities and the risk of having a second stroke. The objective is to improve prevention and reduce the number of people who have a second stroke.
The risk factors are well known, 90% of stroke or secondary stroke cases could be averted by encouraging people to adopt healthier lifestyles. Among the potential solutions to this problem, self-management tools based on digital technology are especially interesting (...).

Responding to security professionals' needs more effectively
Since 2016, end-users of innovative security solutions such as law enforcement authorities and rescue teams have been actively involved in European research and innovation projects in the field of security. This has allowed European R & I actors to provide a response more adapted to the needs of the operational teams.
The Seren project is a European program set up to coordinate research in the field of security as part of the European framework program for research and innovation, H2020 Security (...).

On the path to ‘exascale’ high-performance computing
In the global race to increase the power of supercomputers, it has become vital to keep improving processor architecture. The ExaNoDe project, coordinated by the CEA, aims to develop new nanoelectronics technologies and disruptive integration solutions to design the first European exascale computing processor.
Brought together within the European technology platform for high-performance computing, ETP4HPC, the 13 European partners in ExaNoDe drew up a research program to overcome the many difficulties of building and operating exascale systems (...).

    The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a public research organisation working in four main areas: defence and security, low carbon energies (nuclear and renewables), technological research for industry and fundamental research. Building on its recognised expertise, the CEA takes part in implementing cooperation projects with a wide range of academic and industrial partners. With its 16,000 researchers and employees, it is a major player in European research and is expanding its international presence. In 2017, Thomson-Reuters / Clarivate identified the CEA as the most innovative public research organization in Europe. More information: www.cea.fr/english
