Welcome to ANIMMA 2013
Nuclear instrumentation and measurement methods in nuclear environments are key aspects that contribute to the quality of scientific programmes in the fields of physics, energy, the fuel cycle and waste management. Furthermore, measurements relying on nuclear physics now play an important role in various fields of application such as biology, medicine and the environment.
ANIMMA conference sets out to unite, consolidate and organize an international network of scientific researchers and experts from industry, research institutes, academic dealing with nuclear instrumentation and measurement methodology activities (R&D, Innovation and applications).
ANIMMA 2013 is the third of a series of conferences devoted to endorsing and promoting scientific and technical activities based on nuclear instrumentation and measurements. The main objective of ANIMMA conference is to unite the various scientific communities not only involved in nuclear instrumentation and measurements, but also in nuclear medicine and radiation. The conference is all about getting scientists, engineers and the industry to meet, exchange cultures and identify new scientific and technical prospects to help overcome both current and future unresolved issues.
The ANIMMA conference provides scientists and engineers with a veritable opportunity to compare their latest research and development in different areas: physics, nuclear energy, nuclear fuel cycle, safety, security, future energies (GEN III+, GENIV, ITER…).

What’s New in ANIMMA 2013 ?
- Short Course Initiative
An advanced program of short courses will be offered at the start of ANIMMA 2013 conference.
Starting from the physical principles, the course will discuss the performances and the limitations of various radiation detectors that can be used in nuclear reactors and in the subsequent stages of the nuclear fuel cycle.Updated information, detailed program and schedule will be available shortly on the conference web site.
- Workshop
The first conference day (Sunday June, 23rd 2013) is dedicated to a workshop dealing with nuclear heating thematic, co-organized by CEA and Aix-Marseille University. The persons in charge of such organization are :
Mrs. Anne-Cécile Colombier (anne-cecile.colombier@cea.fr) and
Mrs. Christelle Reynard-Carette (christelle.carette@univ-amu.fr).
The program and other details are available on the workshop section. To participate, registration is compulsory:
- Poster sessions
During the conference, in addition to plenary and parallel oral sessions, specific slots about 2 hours each will be organized and dedicated to the poster sessions. Each day, these sessions will be structured by thematic and illustrated by the posters in exhibition with in support of, a short mini-oral presentation.
The third edition of ANIMMA conference will take place
23-27 June 2013 at Marseille, Palais des Congrès (France).
