Purpose of Establishment

The Center for Nuclear Industrial Policy (CNIP) is dedicated to fulfilling its mission as a private think tank that not only addresses electricity production through nuclear power plants but also provides rational alternatives through research on various aspects of the nuclear industry. These aspects include the complete nuclear fuel cycle, hydrogen production from water using nuclear energy, and the production of industrial heat sources. CNIP aims to lead rational discourse to ensure these alternatives are incorporated into policy.

CNIP concentrates its research capabilities particularly on policies for new businesses and technologies in the future of the nuclear power industry, workforce development, and regulatory improvements. By addressing both domestic and international issues faced by the nuclear power sector, CNIP endeavors to contribute to creating sustainable development conditions for the nuclear industry as a carbon-free energy source. Through these initiatives, the center aims to assist the nuclear power industry in establishing a proactive policy and legislative foundation to lead its future direction.

Introduction to the Center for Nuclear Industrial Policy

The Center for Nuclear Industrial Policy (CNIP), established on February 8, 2024, is a private think tank representing the nuclear power industry. It operates under the philosophy of "action-oriented policy research based on field demand

Main Research Areas of the Center

  • Research on industrial policies including the expansion of nuclear power utilization, technological development across all sectors of the nuclear industry (including nuclear-hydrogen), and workforce development.
  • Research on current regulatory issues and system improvements in the nuclear power sector.
  • Policy proposals and legislative support activities to address current issues on behalf of the nuclear power industry.
  • Analysis of global nuclear policy information and conducting international joint research to enhance the competitiveness of nuclear power exports.

We publish various materials, including Web-Briefs that present expert insights on issues in the nuclear industry, Backgrounders for understanding current issues while on the move, Annual Project Reports, and other reports. In addition to publications, we facilitate the development of networks within the domestic and international nuclear power industry and share current issues through meetings, seminars, and forums.
