The Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility near Kut, Iraq, contains the remains of nuclear reactors bombed by Israel in 1981 and the United States in 1991. It was used as a storage facility for spent reactor fuel and industrial and medical wastes. The radioactive material would not be useful for a fission bomb, but could be used in a dirty bomb. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the facility was heavily looted by hundreds of Iraqis, though it is unclear what was taken. ...more on Wikipedia about "Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility"

The International Centre for Low Dose Radiation Research (ICLDRR) was established at the University of Ottawa, in 1997, with national and international support. The ICLDRR assembles all published data and conducts analyses concerning the effects of low doses of radiation in man and in the environment. ICLDRR’s main focus is to contribute to clarifying whether low and very low doses of ionizing radiation increase the risk of cancer. To that end, the ICLDRR has assembled and analysed virtually all published data on cancer induction in laboratory animals by low doses of ionizing radiation and published initial findings at specialized international conferences, since 1998. ...more on Wikipedia about "International Centre for Low Dose Radiation Research" shortopedia never sleeps.
The ISIS facility is a scientific research institution, situated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, UK. It contains a pulsed or spallation neutron source, the most powerful in the world, which enables muon and neutron scattering science to probe the structure and properties of matter, from the atomic to the biological scales. It provides a powerful research tool for universities and companies across many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials engineering, biology and even archaeology. ...more on Wikipedia about "ISIS neutron source"
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory, managed by the University of California, in Livermore, California.

TRIUMF, for Tri-University Meson Facility, is a particle accelerator laboratory located on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver, BC. Its construction was initiated by three local universities — Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, and the University of British Columbia; before its completion they were joined by the University of Alberta. In operation since 1974, the main accelerator is currently the world's largest cyclotron, and at 500 MeV (million electronvolts), it produces one of the world's most intense proton beams. The facility is presently run by a consortium of Canadian agencies and universities which include the National Research Council of Canada, the University of Alberta, Carleton University, and the University of Toronto in addition to the three founding institutions. ...more on Wikipedia about "TRIUMF"
