Nuclear science: The heart of the "Plateau Nord"

Energy needs worldwide are expected to increase for the foreseeable future, but fuel supplies are limited. Completed by others alternative sources, nuclear energy can be a solution to overcome this problem. France, like many other countries such as Japan, China, etc., has chosen to develop nuclear energy production. Even if this production is known and mastered from several years it can appear some radioactive health hazards. Besides weapons most of people considers nuclear science only as a way of energy production and\ndangerous for health. The Science Park "Plateau Nord" in Caen (Normandy), has chosen to improve knowledge about nuclear sciences and applications specifically in health. By its nuclear potential Caen wanted to focus research on health. Nowadays nuclear sciences are important in the research and treatment of cancer, heart and nervous diseases.
