Tajoura Nuclear Research Centre

🇱🇾 LY · Active

Also known as TAJOURA NUCLEAR RESEARCH CENTRE

The Tajoura Nuclear Research Centre is a Libyan nuclear research establishment. The IAEA World Survey of Fusion Devices, published in 2022, lists it as the operator of LIBTOR, a small tokamak. We could not open a working independent source on the centre, so nothing further is recorded here.

Sector: Fusion
Role: Research institute, Operator

It is the operator of record for IRT-1 (Tajoura) (suspended) and LIBTOR (operating).
