The nuclear education was established in Taiwan in 1955 when the Atomic Energy for Civilian Use Agreement with the USA was signed. The government of the Republic of China decided to establish an Institute of nuclear Science as pail of the Graduate School of National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). In 1973 the College of Nuclear Science, NTHU was also established which later on administered the Graduate Institute of Radiation Biology, Institute/Department of Nuclear Engineering, and Institute/Department of Nuclear Science. Today, The College of Nuclear Science in the NTHU remains as the only educational institute among 123 universities and colleges in Taiwan where nuclear related education and training are offered. By the end of 1993, the total number of alumnae graduated from the college, since the first postgraduate degree was granted in 1958, are 2400, including about 1500 BSc graduates, 800 MSc graduates, and 50 PhD graduates. Career placement program, geared for the 200 graduate students and 400 undergraduates currently registered, is to orientate them into the local nuclear power utilities as well as agricultural, medical, industrial, academic, and governmental sectors where nuclear scientists and engineers at all levels are desperately needed.
