Info:
An Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) laboratory involved in nuclear fuel-cycle activities;

Intended recipient of a nitrogen production plant, the procurement of which was denied on April 30, 2002, by a member state of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG);

Established in 1990 as a center for nuclear technology training; existence of the facility was declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in March 2003; placed under IAEA inspection as of June 2003; located at the Tehran Nuclear Research Centre (TNRC); houses hot cells; functions as a backup complex for research and development for the Iranian nuclear fuel cycle, and produces 99Mo, 131I and 133Xe radioisotopes; provides a wide range of laboratory services for the Nuclear Fuel Production Division of AEOI (now NFPC); equipped with a gamma-ray spectrometry system, an Alpha-Particle spectrometry system, neutron activation analysis facilities, and a radiocarbon dating laboratory;

The location of conversion activities using undeclared nuclear material imported (allegedly from China) in 1991, including:
– uranium metal conversion experiments carried out between 1995 and 2000 using natural uranium (the equipment used in these experiments was dismantled;)
– uranium metal production that had been intended for use in a laser enrichment program;
– pulse column testing and pellet production using UO2;
– uranium conversion and purification for potential use at the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF);
– production of UF4 using UO2; processing of gram quantities of UO2 that had been irradiated at the Tehran ResearchReactor (TRR).

Has served as the storage location for:
– cylinders containing imported UF6, some of which was used in centrifuge tests at Kalaye Electric Company;
– a small amount of separated plutonium;
– waste from reprocessing experiments at TNRC that had first been moved to Anarak;
– uranium metal secretly imported in 1993, some of which was used in laser enrichment experiments at TNRC and Lashkar Ab’ad;
– imports and domestic production of uranium metal used in atomic vapor laser isotope separation (AVLIS) experiments, a technique used for laser enrichment of uranium.
