Introduction to National Atomic Research Institute

Mission：
Targeting nuclear safety, nuclear back-end, nuclear medicine, radiation applications for public welfare, as well as new energy and cross-field system integration as primary development pillars, NARI strives for pioneering advanced technologies and innovative R&D so as to make contribution to people's livelihood and well-being.
Vision：
Focusing on the research and development of atomic energy and its derivative technologies, NARI continuously innovates the problem-solving capability to help build a safe and resilient society.

The National Atomic Research Institute (NARI) is an administrative corporation reorganized from the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) and supervised by the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) of Taiwan (ROC).  INER, the predecessor of NARI, was one of the agencies included in the government reform in 2023.  It has been transformed from a government agency into an administrative corporation since September 27th.  It is dedicated to the research and development of technologies on nuclear safety, radiation application, and new energy. Targeting nuclear safety, nuclear back-end, nuclear medicine and other radiation applications for people's livelihood, new energy and cross-field system integration as the main development axes of its mission, NARI endeavors to help realizing a low-carbon society so as to improve people's livelihood and well-being.

In the field of nuclear safety, the R&Ds are focused on Probabilistic Risk Assessment of nuclear power plants (NPPs) as well as non-NPP’s critical infrastructures resilience. In the field of nuclear back-end, the R&Ds are focused on Taiwan Research Reactor (TRR) dismantle and Dry Storage Pits cleanup. In the field of nuclear medicine and other radiation applications for people's livelihood, several kinds of Radio-pharmaceuticals were developed, such as [68Ga]-APD©, Re-188 liposome, I-123-MIBG and Tl-201, Ga-67, In-111 injections, etc. Also, a 70 MeV cyclotron project is constructing for research and applications in neutron and proton sciences. In the field of new energy and cross-field system integration, the R&Ds are focused on circular economy technologies and intelligent distribution technologies such as MW-Level microgrid system.
