Student Projects SSC Laboratory - NRF iThemba LABS --> NRF 25 Impact Book ESS One NRF New Tenders Home History Between 1966 and 1976, South Africa’s nuclear physics community recognized the limitations of the country’s aging particle accelerators, which hindered internationally competitive research. A consensus was reached during a 1966 meeting of the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP) that a national facility was necessary.
