Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA)

CNEA is the Argentinean Nuclear State Agency with facilities in several parts of the country. It is dedicated to different aspects of Nuclear Energy and is capable of completing the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and exporting technology. CNEA has also a strong and long-term commitment to research in physics, chemistry, nuclear medicine, nanotechnology, etc. in several institutions. Laboratories participating in this project are

Magnetic Resonance and the Low-Temperature division at Bariloche and
Micro and Nanotechnology Department (GDTyPE-CAC) at Buenos Aires. 

The Magnetic Resonance Laboratory’s main activities include basic and applied research in new developments in magnetic properties in materials with applications in medicine, spintronics, materials science, and sensors associated with conventional activities and the nuclear sector.
