CNS INTRODUCTION

The Chinese Nuclear Society (hereafter referred to as “CNS”) was established in 1980. It is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to nuclear science, technology and industry. Its object is to mobilize the nuclear professionals to promote the advancement and peaceful use of nuclear science and technology.

The three main missions of the CNS are to conduct the academic exchange, popularize the knowledge of nuclear science and technology to the public, strengthen the communication among Chinese and overseas colleagues.

CNS has more than 20,000 individual members, 237 organization members and 9 working committees, covering 50 technical divisions and connecting 23 provincial nuclear societies.

With the mission of disseminating the knowledge of nuclear science and technology, CNS is committed to promoting well-established international standard and serving to improve the quality of the nuclear engineering educational programs in China. CNS is designing a national accreditation system for nuclear education programs in China following an international well-accepted framework like the Washington Accord. After China’s signing the Washington Accord, CNS is dedicated to exploring the mature methods and experience in quality control of Nuclear Engineering education program as the secretariat.

CNS plays a positive role in advancing the development of the industry of nuclear science and technology. We spare no efforts to unify and mobilize the vast number of nuclear science and technology professionals home and abroad, to build the Family of Nuclear Science and Technology Professionals，to make our voice heard and promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
