To meet the great world-wide interest in nuclear science and its applications, it has often been suggested that regional centres should be created... The first of such centres to be established is the CENTO... Institute of Nuclear Science, formerly the Baghdad Pact Nuclear Centre, which now serves the three countries of the CENTO region, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. The Institute is concerned exclusively with the peaceful uses of nuclear science... The original Nuclear Centre in Baghdad was formally opened on March 31,1957... and trained about sixty Middle East scientists in nuclear techniques, before the Iraqi revolution brought operations to a close.
