Institute of Nuclear Energy (INE)

Signature Projects

INE’s signature projects reflect its role in supporting technical, policy-relevant, and applied research for Malaysia’s future nuclear energy ecosystem.

Nuclear Power Plant Site Studies
Project 01 · Site & Policy Studies

Nuclear Power Plant Site Studies

Develops site-verification frameworks, environmental baseline measurements and public-dose estimation models for potential nuclear power plant locations. Supports evidence-based site assessment and technical planning for future nuclear energy deployment.

Project 02 · Energy Systems Research

Tropical Nuclear–Renewable Hybrid Energy System Simulation

Investigates nuclear-solar hybrid energy systems under tropical operating conditions, examining the potential performance of integrated low-carbon energy systems within Malaysia’s climate and energy context.

Funded through the Ministry of Higher Education’s Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS)
Tropical Nuclear-Renewable Hybrid Energy System Simulation
Development of Nuclear Battery Design
Project 03 · Applied Materials Research

Development of Nuclear Battery Design

Explores the design and feasibility of betavoltaic batteries by repurposing radioisotope waste, supporting sustainable waste-to-wealth goals through continuous energy for remote environmental sensors, industrial telemetry, and high-consequence monitoring systems.
