CHRC

The Centre for Health Effects of Radiological and Chemical Agents (CHRC) was established in September 2017, funded by the Nuclear Community Charity Fund (NCCF) through funds received by the Armed Forces Covenant Aged Veterans Fund and Brunel University London.

Our purpose is the generation, promotion and integration of new, multi-disciplinary research that is particular to the British nuclear test veteran community, their genomic health and the impact of uncertainty on health more broadly. Our ambitions are to extend this scope to also include health effects of other radiological and chemical exposures that may be seen in other settings and to make the findings of this research accessible for all.

Our aim is to build to become a credible, independent, evidence-based source of information for the test veteran, scientific, health professional and political communities.
