Finally, my research career took a turn toward the nuclear sector when I went to work at the Isotopic Applications Laboratory of CETA at CEDEX.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28477\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1024x696.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-770x523.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-500x340.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-293x199.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1400x951.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1024x696.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-770x523.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-500x340.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-293x199.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas-1400x951.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2008_Grupo-Laboratorio-Area-de-Aplicaciones-Isotopicas.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> CETA Isotopic Applications Laboratory at CEDEX (2008).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reaction of my environment when I started working in the nuclear sector was completely normal. The hardest part for my family and friends was to break with my previous life and move in Rub\u00ed (Barcelona) to Madrid when I went to work at CEDEX. Although this project helped me grow professionally. On a personal level, I found my partner in Madrid and started my own family with two children (a boy and a girl).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, even though 28 years have passed, I still visit my family and friends in Barcelona at least twice a year and, occasionally, we facetime. Nothing has changed regarding the initial reaction of my social circle concerning my involvement in the nuclear sector. What\u2019s more, my circle has seen my joining to the sector as a good choice, following the development of my professional career over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Your vision of the evolution of the sector since you joined. Well\u2026 what now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My field of activity in the nuclear sector has always been that of Environmental Radioactivity. In this field, there have been many continuous advances in various aspects: in radioactivity measurement equipment, there has been an evolution from analog to digital electronics, and spectrum analysis programs have increased their speed exponentially; on the regulatory side, the regulations derived from European directives have evolved. Another aspect in the evolution of the nuclear sector has been with quality management systems, for example, most of the Laboratories that belong to REVIRA have been accredited by the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28490\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1024x357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1024x357.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-770x268.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1536x535.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-500x174.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-293x102.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1400x488.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1024x357.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1024x357.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-770x268.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1536x535.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-500x174.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-293x102.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos-1400x488.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Congresos.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> At various international events, on the left, with Lauri Kaihola in Glasgow (1994) and on the right, in Germany (2001).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nuclear sector is expanding, and the &#8220;false prophets&#8221; and &#8220;deniers&#8221; who claim otherwise only reveal their ignorance of the sector. The source of radioactivity can be artificial (nuclear power plants, atmospheric nuclear detonations, nuclear accidents and medical applications), but what a large portion of the public doesn&#8217;t know is that most of the radioactivity we are exposed to daily is of natural origin. Natural radioactivity has existed since the formation of the planet. We are constantly receiving radiation from outer space. Radioactivity is present in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Even we ourselves contain naturally occurring radionuclides in our bodies. The adequate transmission of this knowledge to society would allow us to face scientific and technological challenges in a more efficient way, with a future without fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Would you encourage young people to start a professional career in the sector?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, as I am explaining at university to my students, the nuclear sector is much broader than the short-sighted view disseminated by the media dependent on public administrations, whether state or regional. The nuclear sector is not limited to the generation of electricity in nuclear power plants and nuclear disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima. Job opportunities related to the nuclear sector in the non-nuclear industry, medicine, the environment, water laboratories, dating, radiation protection, and so on, are countless and constant. Many highly skilled professionals are needed in this constantly evolving sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What message would you like to spread to the rest of your nuclear partners? And to non-nuclear ones?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of my nuclear colleagues, the message is that we must continue through the same pathway. Within the nuclear sector, CSN and the laboratories that are part of the CSN&#8217;s REVIRA Network are trying to pass on this knowledge to those who come after us through the Conferences on Quality Control in Environmental Radioactivity, the master\u2019s degree in environmental Radiological Protection, and other initiatives. If this work were not done, we would run the risk of losing knowledge that is essential for facing the new challenges of the nuclear sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28486\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-770x356.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-500x231.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-293x135.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1400x647.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-770x356.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-500x231.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-293x135.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad-1400x647.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jornadas-Control-Calidad.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> XII Conference on Quality in Environmental Radioactivity Control in Palma de Mallorca (2024).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The message to the public is that we are constantly exposed to radioactivity, regardless of whether its origin is natural or artificial.

Even if we don&#8217;t see the radiation, it coexists and is part of us and the world around us. It is necessary to consult and question national and international institutions in the sector and not rely on social media disseminators whose sources are not reliable.
