Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy
Since its foundation in 1975, the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy (IPEN) has been dedicated to the regulation, promotion, supervision, and development of research activities on applications of Nuclear Energy. The nuclear plant OSCAR MIROQUESADA DE LA GUERRA (RACSO), located in the Carabayllo district, was founded in 1989 and is supplied with an RP-10 Reactor, a Science Laboratory, a Radioisotope Production Plant, a Laboratory for Dosimetric Calibrations, and a Radioactive Waste Management Plant. The senior management operates from the main site in the San Borja district, where a Zero Power Reactor (RP-0) and the Higher Center for Nuclear Studies (CSEN) are also hosted.
