 The Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) has, since its establishment 50 years ago, developed to be the major national scientific institution devoted for R & D in the peaceful applications of Atomic Energy. The EAEA spared no effort, from the mid – fifties to train scientists in the topmost universities and research institutes in the world and to acquire R&D facilities in basic and applied nuclear research.
EAEA is divided into four research centres.These four centres are subdivided into major research divisions. This is illustrated in the EAEA organization chart.
Through the integrated and concerted planning between these centres, the activities of the EAEA run into four major fields:
- Research and technological projects.
