FANC - Federal Agency for Nuclear Control

The Federal Agency for Nuclear Control promotes the effective protection of the general public, workers and the environment against the hazards of ionising radiation.

Anticipating, informing and regulating: We work continuously to improve regulations so that they reflect reality. We run campaigns to raise awareness and to promote prevention. We provide information to our stakeholders. Licensing and monitoring: We carry out regular inspections to check if the licensee observes all applicable regulations and the imposed licensing conditions. We also operate a radiological surveillance system covering the whole Belgian territory.

Managing the unexpected: We develop adequate procedures, in conjunction with our stakeholders, in order to ensure that all parties concerned are notified rapidly and can respond efficiently in the event of an incident or accident involving ionising radiation. Looking to the future: We put our knowledge of radiation protection up for constant review to make sure that our information is always up-to-date. We collaborate closely with our foreign counterparts. We encourage and monitor scientific research. We provide in training and development for those employed in the nuclear sector.
