abstract = {This paper concerns the technologies used in radioisotope production in the
French Atomic Energy Commission (the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique) between 1946
and 1958. Particular attention is given to the various instruments used for the bombardment
of isotopes, including accelerators and reactors, and their relationship with the CEA’s radioisotope
preparation laboratories. Ultimately, the vast majority of bombardments took place in
research reactors. These versatile machines, and the isotopes and other materials that passed
through them, act as historical tracers: they shed light on the orientation of the entire atomic
system in which radioisotope production is found.},
