1. Atomic Energy Council, Taipei (Taiwan, Province of China)

The development and international cooperation on nuclear energy in Taiwan started in the early fifties. As one of original signatories for the [open quotes]Non-proliferation Treaty[close quotes] in the United Nations, the development and international cooperation programs has been positioned, ever since, in the peaceful applications of this new found technology. The first establishment of nuclear facility in Taiwan was an open pool research reactor for educational and research purposes at the National Tsing-Hua University in 1956. Subsequently, a heavy water moderated research reactor, TRR, and 6 units of thermal nuclear power reactors were constructed. Peaceful applications of nuclear energy, in areas of generations, medical diagnosis and treatments, agricultural and industrial services were developed step by step.
