Lebanon does not possess any nuclear power plants, research reactors, or other nuclear facilities. Radiation sources and radioactive materials in Lebanon are used in the fields of medicine, agriculture, environment, academic research and industry.  

The country has no plan for adding nuclear energy to its electricity grid mix, and the establishment of a research reactor will not be a stated government priority in the coming years. In 2019, an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts completed a nuclear security advisory mission in Lebanon, was carried out at the request of the Lebanese Government.The use of radiation sources and radioactive materials in Lebanon is strictly involves its peaceful applications mainly in the fields of medicine, agriculture, environment, academic research and industry. There are no nuclear installations in the country. Thus, the absence of nuclear materials over the Lebanese territory can be strongly asserted (no nuclear fuel storage or nuclear fuel reprocessing cycle). By contrast, small quantity of DU used as radiation shielding, is present in specific medical applications.  

The country has no plan for adding nuclear energy to its electricity grid mix. Lebanon conducted, under an IAEA TC project (during 2012-2014) a feasibility study for the establishment of nuclear research reactor for education and training, using among others, neutron activation and neutron diffraction techniques. The establishment of the RR will not be a national priority in the coming two years.
