Location: Yazd
Size: 1,700 sq meters
Subordinate to: AEOI
Primary Function: Applied radiation chemistry research
Description:
The Yazd Radiation Processing Center (YRPC) is one of the newest industrial complexes of Iran. It is engaged in geophysical research to analyze the mineral deposits surrounding the city. The AEOI expects this center to play an important role in supporting the medical and polymer industries. The YRPC is equipped with a Rhodotron TT200 accelerator, made by IBA, Belgium, with outputs of 5 and 10MeV beam lines and a maximum power of 100KW. The YRPC was organized to apply radiation research in the field of applied radiation chemistry. The facility provides buildings for accelerator equipment, administration offices, and laboratory equipment. Professor M. Haji Saeid, Director of YRPC, leads the group to engage technology implementation, and collaboration with the Agriculture and Medical Center in Karaj and other scientific institutions in Iran.
