The Isfahan Nuclear Technology/Research Center (مرکز بینالمللی علوم و فنون هستهای) is Iran's largest atomic scientific center, located south east of Isfahan city, central Isfahan County,[1][2] and with 10MW[3] capacity.[4][5][6] 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.[7][8]
Isfahan Nuclear District includes (mainly supplied by China):[9][10]
- 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).[11]
History
It was founded in 1970s with French assistance.[12]
2025 Israeli and American airstrikes
On 13 June 2025, Israel launched airstrikes at the nuclear facility, damaging or destroying the Uranium Conversion facility as well as damaging the Fuel Plate Fabrication Plant and a fourth critical building.[13][14]
