CIAE banks on green credentials for success

Firm ramps up efforts to promote nuclear tech for industrial and commercial use

The China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), one of the 23 science and research arms of China National Nuclear Corporation, has been ramping up efforts to utilize nuclear technologies for industrial and commercial use.

Set up in 1950, CIAE is widely considered the cradle of nuclear science and technology in the nation, as it pioneered the development and successful construction of China's first nuclear reactor and cyclotron in the 1950s.
