The Nuclear Technology/Research Center in Esfahan (مرکز بین‌المللی علوم و فنون هسته‌ای)[2] is Iran's largest atomic scientific center, located south east of Isfahan city, central Isfahan County,[3][4] and with 10MW[5] capacity.[6][7][8] Its front is Pishgam Energy Industries Corporation. It is partly surveilled by UNO International Atomic Energy Agency under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action program.[9][10]
Isfahan Nuclear District includes (mainly supplied by China):[11][12]
- MNSR – 27 kW Miniature Neutron Source Reactor
- Light Water Subcritical Reactor (LWSCR)
- Heavy Water Zero Power Reactor (HWZPR)
- Graphite Subcritical Reactor (GSCR)
It was renamed from Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) پيش غني سازي اورانيوم كارخانه يو سي اف ايران.[13]
History
[edit]It was founded in 1970s with French assistance.[14]
