In 1958 construction began on the Soreq NRC. The Research reactor in this center became critical in 1960.
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).
