ARC-Nucleart
Atelier Rgional de Conservation Nuclart
"The French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat l'Energie Atomique - CEA) launched the Nuclart programme in 1970. The aim was to use certain specific properties of gamma radiation in the conservation of cultural heritage objects. The Centre d'Etudes et de Traitement des Bois Gorgs d'Eau (CETBGE - Centre for Waterlogged Wood Studies and Treatment) was set up in 1981, under a partnership agreement between the CEA, the French National Museums Council and the City of Grenoble. Various types of treatment, including freeze-drying, were used and restoration work began on archaeological wood objects. ARC-Nuclart (Atelier Rgional de Conservation Nuclart) was formed in 1989 when the CETBGE and Nuclart laboratory merged." (from website)
