Primary Function: Nuclear analytical services, including uranium ore analysis
Description: From 1982 to 1990 the IAEA aided the AECS in establishing an analytical laboratory, equipped with systems for atomic absorption spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence analysis, gas and liquid chromatography, fluorimetry and low-level alpha, beta and gamma counting. The laboratory provides a range of nuclear analytical services. According to the original IAEA technical cooperation project goal, the laboratory was going to provide analysis of geological samples for uranium content, among other services. As part of the project, five Syrian scientists received training in Hungary, the United States, Yugoslavia, and the IAEA laboratory at Seibersdorf, Austria.[1]
