Registration to technical tours
The technical tours are free. Registration required - opening soon. The maximum size of each group is limited and participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. NCBJ requires copies of passports from not-Polish visitors, and the ID number from Polish visitors. Take with you these documents during the visit - required for the security check.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see:
NCBJ is one of the largest scientific institutes in Central Europe. The Centre is also a unique research unit in the country. NCBJ has a very rich history and, above all, a huge scientific output, mainly in fields such as physics, nuclear and plasma technologies, astrophysics.
NCBJ conduct basic and applied research related to nuclear energy and various areas of subatomic physics.
NCBJ’s work is interdisciplinary and covers the following scientific fields: physics, materials engineering, automation, electronics and space technologies, environmental engineering, mining and energy, and pharmaceutical sciences.
The MARIA reactor is currently the only and unique research facility of this type in Poland and in the world, having a significant importance for public health, as a producer of radiopharmaceuticals, economy and science.
NOMATEN is a scientific department where research is conducted and results in new materials that are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion and radiation, which can be used in industry and in new radiopharmaceutical solutions.
POLATOM is a Polish manufacturer and distributor of isotope preparations used in medicine, science, industry and environmental protection.
Centre for Design and Synthesis of Molecularly Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals (CERAD) with its newly installed cyclotron Cyclone 30 XP.
The Materials Research Lab (LBM) carries out scientific and diagnostic work on structural materials and their welded joints using destructive and non-destructive testing methods, including metallographic, mechanical and thermal testing.
Radioactive Waste Management Plant (ZUOP) is the only institution in Poland established to manage radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel and is responsible for its safe management from collection of the waste from generators until its disposal. Currently, ZUOP operates National Radioactive Waste Repository in Różan.
Radioactive waste collected by ZUOP is processed, which aim is to segregate the waste, reduce its volume and condition it to a form suitable for disposal.
