The Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kazakhstan (INP Kazakhstan) is a research institute based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Established in 1957, it conducts research in nuclear physics and applied nuclear technologies, including radiation safety and accelerator science.[1] The institute operates research facilities, including the WWR-K research reactor.[2]

History

The institute was established in 1957 during the Soviet period as part of the development of nuclear research infrastructure in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic.[3] Following Kazakhstan's independence in 1991, the institute continued its research activities under national scientific authorities.[4][5]

Research activities

The institute conducts research in nuclear physics, radiation safety, nuclear technologies, materials science, and accelerator technology. Its activities include both fundamental and applied research.[4][1][6]

Facilities

The institute operates scientific laboratories and research facilities, including reactor and accelerator installations.[2] The facilities include the WWR-K research reactor, which has been used for fundamental and applied studies since its commissioning.[7][8][9]

International cooperation

The institute has participated in international scientific collaborations and research programs, including cooperative agreements with foreign research organizations.[3][10][11]
