Team Nuclear Energy is NTNU's interdisciplinary research team in fusion and fission technology. The team consists of academic staff from different disciplines, departments and faculties at NTNU and represents NTNU's collective knowledge within nuclear energy.  

Our ongoing research and educational interests include nuclear reactor physics, neutron physics, nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics, nuclear reactor design, nuclear fuel cycles, nuclear power cycles, nuclear systems engineering, nuclear safety, emergency preparedness, accident investigation, nuclear powered marine transport, integration of nuclear power with electricity grids and markets, producing hydrogen and chemicals from nuclear energy, and more.

Our primary goal is to develop Norwegian expertise in nuclear energy through education and research. This includes education of the general public by providing relevant scientific information, expert voices, and diverse perspectives as a contribution to the public debate.  

Mission Statement 

Team Nuclear Energy is dedicated to the development of knowledge in nuclear energy. Our mission is to be a Centre of Excellence for nuclear research and education in Norway, provide expertise, and train future scientists and engineers in the field.
