Soreq Nuclear Research Center

Soreq Nuclear Research Center

The Soreq Nuclear Research Center is a research and development institute located near the localities of Palmachim and Yavne in Israel. It operates under the auspices of the Israeli Nuclear Energy Commission (IAEC). The center conducts research in various physical sciences, particularly the development of many kinds of sensors, lasers, atmospheric research, non-destructive testing techniques, nuclear safety, space environment, medical diagnostics, and nuclear medicine and radiopharmacuticals among others.

Some of the institute's research facilities include a 5MW pool-type light water nuclear reactor supplied in the late 1950s from the USA under the Atoms for Peace program and a 10MeV proton cyclotron accelerator, as well as extensive laboratory and testing facilities. Currently under construction is 40 MeV, 2 mA proton and deuteron superconducting linear accelerator scheduled for commissioning in 2009.

The Center is named after the nearby stream of Soreq.
