Turning back to Paris in the late 80’s, he participated in several safety studies and evaluations for nuclear installations, but had also the opportunity to spend several years as responsible for the HLLL underground storage model development in ANDRA and in the development of evaporators for the Laser fuel enrichment in CEA.
