The thesis is part of the Health-Environment division of LPCA (Laboratoire de Physique de Clermont Auvergne), a Joint Research Unit under the dual supervision of the Université Clermont Auvergne and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Institut National de Physique Nucléiare et de Physique des Particules). The LPCA's fundamental research activities deal with the ″two infinities″, the infinitely small and the infinitely large, from the most elementary constituents of matter to cosmology. Multidisciplinary activities exploit the spin-offs of this fundamental research or the methods and technologies used. The Health-Environment Division accounts for around a third of the LPCA's human resources. Its members are co-authors of over 100 peer-reviewed publications from 2019 to 2024. Its scientific activities are built on 4 pillars: experimentation, instrumentation, open science, and modeling.
The project focuses on the environmental impact of historical radioactive waste dumped into the Atlantic Ocean between the 1940s and 1980s, particularly around 2 sites where over 250,000 barrels were disposed of. The NODSSUM campaigns aim to characterize the distribution and condition of these barrels and assess environmental consequences. The doctoral research involves participating in sampling campaigns, analyzing environmental samples, interpreting data, estimating doses to organisms, and studying radionuclide transfer and transport.
Required skills include a strong background in radiation physics, environmental radioactivity, and dosimetry. Proficiency in data analysis and computer programming is essential. Experience with nuclear measurement techniques and Monte Carlo simulations is advantageous.
