Central Iran Irradiation Complex (Yazd)

About us
Central Iran Irradiation Complex was operated in 1997 as a subsidiary of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, aimed at respond to the country's research and industrial needs in the field of electron and X-ray radiation. A 5-10 MeV, high power electron accelerator (Rhodotron) became operational since 1998 for the purpose of irradiating disposable medical devices, food products, polymeric materials, research and development.
 
Capabilities
