  The Iranian Light Source Facility Project (ILSF) is a first large scale accelerator which is currently under planning in Iran. The circumference of the storage ring is 297.6 m with the energy of 3 GeV, the beam current of 400 mA and the natural emittance of 3.3 nmrad with an overall of 32 straight sections of different lengths. A full energy booster has been designed to accelerate the 150 MeV electron beam, extracted from the linac, to the final energy of 3GeV. The facility will be built on a land of 100 hectares area in the city of Qazvin, located 150 km West of Tehran. The city is surrounded by many universities, research centers and industrial companies. The design and construction of prototype items such as radio frequency solid state amplifier, dipole magnets, highly stable magnet power supplies and girders have already begun. Site selection studies, including geotechnical and seismological measurements are being performed. Conceptual Design Report (CDR) as the first milestone of the project will be completed and will be accessible on the project website by the end of July 2012.
