Little information is available regarding the role of Iran’s Education Research Institute (ERI) in the nuclear program. It is cited in the May 2008 IAEA report as a “military-related” institute about which inspectors need to learn more. The report notes that “The Agency also needs to understand fully the reasons for the involvement of military related institutions in procurement for the nuclear programme.”
ERI is mentioned for the first time in IAEA reporting in the February 2007 report in the context of IAEA discussions with Iran “seeking clarification” about the role of ERI along with the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP), Kimia Maadan (KM), and the Physics Research Center (PHRC).
