Malaysian Nuclear Agency
Agensi Nuklear Malaysia (Nuklear Malaysia), is a premier research and development (R&D) organisation in nuclear science and technology, continues to play an active role and contributes to the implementation and realisation of national science and technology (S&T) policies. This public research was established on 19 September 1972 and has been operating for more than three decades.
In line with the current needs and development, Nuklear Malaysia is install with various nuclear related laboratories and facilities, which include Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory, SINAGAMA Plant, Electron Beam Processing Service Centre, Gamma Irradiation of Rubber Latex Plant, Non-Ionising Radiation Laboratory, Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, Radioisotope Production Laboratory, Environmental Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory, Radioactive Waste Management Centre, Flora Centre and Tissue Bank. Through these facilities, nuclear science and technology assume an important and significant role in the national development programme.
