6,000 attend CEA birthday party
23 Oct 2009
Family members of CEA-Cadarache and ITER staff were given a unique opportunity to visit laboratories, installations and work sites.
Some sovereign countries are much smaller than Cadarache. Covering more than 1,600 hundreds hectares—870 within the enclosure—the Centre is about eight times the size of the Principality of Monaco.
So there was room enough, last Friday and Saturday, to accommodate the 6,000 guests that had gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of CEA's largest research centre.
Family members of CEA-Cadarache and ITER staff were given a unique opportunity to visit laboratories, installations and work sites, and to experience "lunch at the canteen."
