The Nuclear Technology/Research Center in Esfahan (مرکز بین‌المللی علوم و فنون هسته‌ای) is Iran's largest atomic scientific center, located south east of Isfahan city, central Isfahan County, and with 10MW capacity. 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.
Isfahan Nuclear District includes (mainly supplied by China):
- 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.
History
It was founded in 1970s with French assistance.
