Cyclotron project of the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy

We present the cyclotron project of the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy which aims to centralize national the production of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals and to provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Nuclear Energy. The human resources needed for the successful operation of the production program of the centre are also described in this article. An account of the ongoing research related to the radiation protection and radiation shielding of the cyclotron is made.
