The Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) was founded in 1968. After half a century of transformation and growth, INER has not only become the only professional R&D institution in Taiwan that combines nuclear safety/nuclear back-end technologies, civil application of radiation, and green energy technology, but also continued to innovate, conduct R&D, and promote the industrial applications of these technologies, yielding fruitful results in the process. In the future, to conjunction with organizational reform by the Executive Yuan, INER will transform into an administrative corporation known as the “National Longtan Institute of Atomic Energy Technology”, which will exert organizational effectiveness through easing of the system. After our incorporation, INER will continue to fulfill our mission as a national laboratory which focuses on the development of various fields, including decommissioning of nuclear power plants, nuclear waste treatment and disposal, nuclear medicine and civil application of radiation, new energy, and cross-domain system integration, with a view to realizing a low-carbon society and enhancing people’s livelihood and well-being. At the same time, INER itself will remain the most reliable nuclear energy R&D institution in Taiwan in accordance with national policies and focus of science, technology, and industrial development
