Brief Introduction

    The Advanced Nuclear Energy Center (ANEC) is dedicated to advancing two strategic research objectives, accelerator-driven advanced nuclear energy systems and medical isotope production technologies. As a multidisciplinary and integrated research center, ANEC aims to establish itself as a globally leading research platform for accelerator-driven nuclear energy research and medical isotope production and application.

    The missions of ANEC are to lead the developments of key technologies for accelerator driven nuclear energy system and the production of medical isotopes, as well as their applications, and actively foster interdisciplinary collaboration to strengthen related academic disciplines and cultivate high-quality research talent.

    ANEC comprises eight specialized research groups: Advanced Nuclear Energy Physics, Nuclear Energy Materials, Nuclear Chemistry, Reactor Engineering and Science, High-Power Target Systems, Nuclear Safety and Security, Nuclear Data Science, and Nuclear Auxiliary Processes. The Center maintains a distinguished research workforce of over 150 professionals. In addition, there are about 100 graduate students engaged in cutting-edge nuclear science and engineering, and medical isotope production technology research at ANEC.

    ANEC conducts innovative and mission-oriented research across a broad fields, including nuclear science and engineering, nuclear fuel cycle and materials science, chemical and materials engineering, condensed matter physics, energy and power engineering, radiation safety and environmental protection, nuclear technology applications, particle and nuclear physics, and theoretical nuclear science.

    ANEC serves as a core scientific and technical team in the construction and operation of two national research infrastructures: the China Initiative Accelerator-Driven System (CiADS), and the Isotope Production Platform based on Superconducting Accelerator Facility (IP-SAFE).
