The latest authorized modification of the IRA-UPV is dated July 13, 2022 and includes the following units:

  1. DIQN Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering of the ETS Ingenieros Industriales, located in building 5I, has two practice laboratories and the so-called “storage room for encapsulated radioactive sources”, which is located in the basement of the building.
  2. DIMM The Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering of the ETS Industrial Engineers, a radiography bunker located in the basement of building 5I.
  3. LRL Liquid Isotope Laboratory of the Radiation Service, located on the first floor of building 5I, consists of an anteroom leading to the other laboratory areas: waste storage, emergency shower area and isotope handling area.
  4. DIT (Department of Transport Infrastructure Engineering of the ETS de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos), a bunker located in building 1, block 4 A-2, with a storage capacity of two soil density and moisture measurement equipment.
  5. IBMCP Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants (Mixed Center UPV and CSIC) located in the building of the Polytechnic City of Innovation (CPI), consists of the following facilities: the main radioactive laboratory located on the ground floor, 11 ordinary laboratories located on different floors of the building where work with radioactive material will be carried out in specific areas and 7 laboratories for common use, where in specific circumstances the handling of radioactive material will be authorized.
  6. DCRBC Department of Conservation and Restoration of Goods of the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos, the X-ray laboratory located on the first floor of the building.
