As the world's largest energy producer and consumer, China confronts significant dual challenges of securing its energy supply and combating climate change. Since its establishment, the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University has consistently aligned itself with national strategic needs, kept pace with the international forefront of development, and adhered to an independent innovation path. Through large-team collaborative research initiatives, deep interdisciplinary integration, and close collaboration between industry, academia, and research, INET plays a pivotal role in advancing the development of advanced nuclear energy technologies.

INET is dedicated to the development of novel nuclear energy systems. This involves formulating innovative conceptual frameworks, conducting foundational applied research, making breakthroughs in key technologies, and achieving the full spectrum of development - from process and equipment engineering and system integration to the construction of first-of-a-kind demonstration project. The institute has built several experimental nuclear reactors and is equipped with reactor engineering laboratories, as well as research facilities and verification platforms for nuclear fuel and reprocessing. It continues to achieve new breakthroughs in fields such as nuclear science and engineering, nuclear chemistry and chemical engineering, nuclear technology, nuclear environmental science, energy systems analysis, and new energy technologies.

The objective of INET is to become a world-leading, interdisciplinary, and strategic high-tech research institute, with nuclear energy as its primary feature, and nuclear and new energy as its main focus of research. The institute is committed to the peaceful use of atomic energy and the pursuit of inherently safe nuclear energy, aiming to contribute to the development of the nation and of a global community with a shared future for mankind.

INET remains dedicated to fostering collaboration with both domestic and international partners. We welcome the opportunity to engage in close exchange and cooperation with universities, enterprises, and research institutions worldwide. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the national and local governments, our partner institutions across China, and our friends across the globe, for their enduring guidance and invaluable support.
