About us
The HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research (EK) is part of the Hungarian Research Network. Its activities include basic and applied research and development in accordance with the provisions of the Hungarian Act on Atomic Energy in the field of renewable energy sources, environmental protection systems, and functional materials. The operation of the Budapest Research Reactor is also among its key activities.
The mission of Environmental Physics Department (KFL) is to carry out research on the environmental burden originating from different sources and on the human-environment interaction. The evaluation of the environmental impact of fossil, renewable and nuclear energy cycles and the quantification of health effects of environmental pollutants are also in the focus of our research. Our research activity is completed in the frame of national and international scientific projects and co-operations with industrial partners. Our researchers has decade-long experience in transport and deposition of radioactive aerosol in the lungs, in microdosimetry, and in modelling the biological effects of internal emitters.
