The National Centre of Scientific Research "Demokritos" ((ギリシア語:Εθνικό Κέντρο Έρευνας Φυσικών Επιστημών "Δημόκριτος")) is a research center in Greece, employing over 1,000 researchers, engineers, technicians and administrative personnel. It focuses on several fields of natural sciences and engineering and hosts laboratory facilities. The facilities cover approximately 150 acres of land at Aghia Paraskevi, a suburb ten kilometers from the center of Athens, on the northern side of Hymettus mountain. The buildings cover an area of approximately 35.000 m (8.6 acres). The Centre started its operation in 1959 as an independent division of the public sector under the name Nuclear Research Center “Demokritos”, named in honour of the Greek philosopher Democritus. In 1985 it was renamed and given self-governing jurisdiction under the auspices of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology. The original objective of the newly created center was the advancement of nuclear research and technology for peaceful purposes. Today, its activities cover several fields of science and engineering. The NCSR is a self-administered governmental legal entity, under the supervision of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Education. ==Research Institutes== The research activities of the centre are conducted in eight administratively independent institutes: *Institute of Biology *Institute of Materials Science (IMS) *Institute of Microelectronics *Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications (IIT) *Institute of Nuclear Technology - Radiation Protection (INT-RP) *Institute of Nuclear Physics *Institute of Radioisotopes & Radiodiagnostic Products *Institute of Physical Chemistry The INT-RP at Demokritos operates Greece's only nuclear reactor, a 5 MW research reactor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Centre of Scientific Research "Demokritos"」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
