|
- In 1958 construction began on the Soreq NRC. The Research reactor in this
center became critical in 1960.
- The reactor is fueled by HEU, cooled and moderated by light water.
- Cooling and moderation are done using purified water.
- The reactor's nominal capacity is 5 MW.
- Periodic authorizations to operate the reactor are granted following extensive
safety tests.
- The reactor of the Soreq NRC is operated under IAEA safeguards.
- Radiation control is one of the NRC's fields of activity. To that end, the
NRC provides consulting services regarding ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
- Extensive research is conducted at the Soreq NRC, especially in the field
of electro-optics. Additional activities are held at the Shalheveth Freier Center
and at the National Data Center (NDC).
