[en] A lot of sectors have benefited from technology transfers from nuclear industry: medicine, material science, electronics, nano-technologies... The main reason is that nuclear industry uses a lot of technologies and makes them to develop. Another reason is that the development of nuclear sciences implies a deeper knowledge of matter and its interactions, which is fundamental to build innovative technologies in any field. In France CEA (French Commission on Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies) has been a major player in technology transfers for the development of national economy and for its diversification itself. Today CEA's teams work on life sciences, microelectronics, carbon-free energies as well as nuclear engineering. (A.C.)
