CIEMAT
The Centro de Investigaciones Energeticas, Medioambientales y Tecnologicas (CIEMAT) is a Public Research Agency for excellence in energy and environment, as well as in many vanguard technologies and in various areas of fundamental research. Its mission is to contribute to the sustainable development and the quality of life of its citizens, through the generation and application of scientific and technological knowledge. To favour the process of technology transfer, CIEMAT makes available to the production system, such knowledge and capabilities as may have been developed in the course of its research projects. For this, it signs conventions and collaboration agreements and contracts with companies, and takes out patents, generates products and technologies applicable to society and industry, and publicises them in training courses on matters which are the subject of research and technology development at the Centre.
Its environmental activities covers the field of radiological protection (reduction of radiological impacts, environmental radioactivity measurement quality, personal and environmental dosimetric impact). Special consideration is devoted to storage of high level radioactive waste and spent fuel. Also studies on site characterisation and selection for geological storage of CO2 have begun. Priority subjects of study are identification of the environmental impact on the atmosphere, water and soil from industrial sources and on their surroundings, such as the characterisation and control of polluting emissions into the atmosphere. Scenarios are studied and meteorological and dispersion models are developed and applied to assess the atmospheric environmental impact.
