The Institute was established on the basis of the research of the multidisciplinary advanced nuclear energy research team (FDS team), and has been working on the "Future Advanced Nuclear Fission Energy - ADS Transmutation System", "International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)", "International Science and Technology Cooperation Program", and "National Nuclear Security and Safety Program", all of which are strategic pilot projects of CAS.
With the support of major projects such as "International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor (ITER)", "International Science and Technology Cooperation Program" and "National Science and Technology Innovation Program for Nuclear Safety", the Institute focuses on the key scientific and technological issues in the fields of neutron physics and radiation safety, nuclear materials and equipment safety, nuclear thermal engineering and accidents, nuclear energy software and simulation, nuclear energy and chemical safety, and nuclear emergency response and public **** safety to carry out multidisciplinary and intersecting basic, prospective and strategic researches.
The Institute/Team has a unique cultural system and management structure, with more than 380 members, and ~80% of the researchers have doctoral degrees. It has achieved a number of world-leading original scientific and technological achievements in advanced nuclear reactor neutron physics methods and technologies, environmentally friendly nuclear reactor materials and liquid heavy metal circuit technologies, nuclear power plant safety and risk assessment studies and related cross-disciplinary studies. He has undertaken more than 80 important projects at home and abroad, published more than 1,000 academic papers, of which 5 were selected in the list of highly cited papers of the International Basic Science Index ESI in the past ten years, and applied for more than 100 national invention patents. It has been awarded the first prize of Science and Technology of Anhui Province, the first prize of Science and Technology of China Nuclear Energy Industry Association, and the first prize of National Energy Science and Technology Progress.
The Institute is located in Hefei, one of the four major science and education cities in China, the first pilot city of science and technology innovation in China, and the "Happiest City" in 2012~2013 CCTV survey, which is situated on the "Science Island" on the shore of the beautiful Shushan Lake. It is located on the "Science Island" on the shore of the scenic Shushan Lake, and is blessed with a quiet and beautiful environment, a favorable academic atmosphere, rich domestic and international cooperation resources and networks, and advanced educational concepts, which provide a good opportunity and platform for cultivating high-level talents and producing world-leading research results. We are now recruiting for open positions at home and abroad due to the need of scientific research, and the specific information of the positions is attached. We welcome all young people to come to the Institute of Nuclear Safety to work in the FDS team or to continue their education, etc.
The FDS team has been working in the Institute of Nuclear Safety for many years.
