En ny massespektrometer blesatt i drift den 25. juli i det kjernefysiske gjenvinningsanlegget i Sellafield, i Storbritannia. De "on-site" laboratorier lokalisert i Sellafield drives av JRC institutt for Transuranium Elements (ITU) og ble satt opp i samsvar med EU-kommisjonens ivaretar forpliktelser i henhold til Euratom-traktaten. Dette anlegget behandler flere hundre tonn kjernefysisk materiale pr. år. Det nye utstyret bringer laboratoriene til det høyeste standard og sikrer god kontinuitet av de ivaretar aktiviteter i fremtiden.

A new mass spectrometer was inaugurated on the 25 of July in the nuclear reprocessing plant of Sellafield, in the United Kingdom. The "on-site" laboratories located in Sellafield are managed by the JRC's Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) and were set up to comply with the European Commission's safeguards obligations under the Euratom treaty.
