•  Characteriza1on,  behavior  and  transfer  of  radionucleids  –  long  term  future  of  radionucleids  in  storage  sites

•  From  the  Chernobyl  environment,  a  coherent  picture  of  predictable  radia1on-­‐induced  effects  for  low-­‐dose-­‐rate  exposures  has  not  emerged  

–  Contradictory  experimental  evidences  from  Chernobyl  exclusion  zone

How  do  the  regional  ini1a1ves  fit  in  the  na1onal  context?  

•  ZATUR,  one  of  the  13  members  of  the  French  network  of  Zones-­‐Ateliers  

•  AUDACE,  a  node  of  France  Grilles,  the  Na1onal  Grid  Ini1a1ve    

11  

•  Integrates the biophysical •  and social sciences

through an understanding of how human behaviors affect dynamics and ecosystem processes. Such dynamics and processes influence also ecosystem services –thereby altering human behaviors and initiating feedbacks that impact the original dynamics and processes.

12   Fondamental  missions  of  the  Zones  Ateliers  Network  

- Coordinate long term sustainable LTSER platform;

- Establish a system of banking environmental data

- Build ZA interactions or with other LTER (particularly Europe, USA)

-  LTER Mountain initiative (coordinated by ZAA, T. Spiegelberger)

-  LTER Marine initiative (coordinated by LTER Italie)

•  Is  a  Scien1fic  Interest  Group…  –  Created  in  2010  by  8  partners:  CEA,  CNRS,CPU,  INRA,  INRIA,  INSERM,  MESR,  RENATER…  

–  To  steer  up  and  coordinate  the  na1onal  strategy  in  the  fields  of  grids  and  clouds  

•  Vision:    –  Build  and  operate  a  na1onal  distributed  compu1ng  infrastructure  open  to  all  sciences  and  to  developing  countries

•  France  Grilles  does  not  own  the  resources  – Resources  owned  by  user  communi1es      

•  France  Grilles  provides  a  framework  – To  share  resources,  exper1se  and  know  how  – To  promote  innova1on  and  ini1a1ves  – To  foster  collabora1on  at  na1onal  and  interna1onal  levels
