イレーヌ・ジョリオ＝キュリー
Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie carried out studies on radioactivity at the Fort d'Aubervilliers during the 1920s and 1930s. The Curies worked with salts of radium 226. Later on experiments carried out by the army to support nuclear tests in Algeria caused serious contamination to the fort.
