Radioisotopes Production Facility (RPF), is a facility for the production of radioisotopes from irradiation of Low enriched uranium (LEU) in the Egyptian Second Research Reactor (ETRR-2) Complex. The RPF was supplied by the Argentine company Investigacion Aplicada (INVAP)[5] and was commissioned during October and November 2011.[1] The produced radioisotopes are used in medicine, industry and research activities[4] for domestic market.[6]
The RPF is owned and operated by the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA)[7] at the Nuclear Research Center in Inshas, 60 kilometers northeast of Cairo.[8][9]
