History

The establishment of INSTN goes back to 1956 with the purpose to train engineers, researchers and technicians who were tasked with implementing the French civil nuclear development programme introduced in the 1950s.

Since its creation, the mission of INSTN has been to support the transfer of knowledge and know-how developed by the CEA and its industrial partners in order to support the growth of the nuclear industry worldwide. One of its main contributions has been to develop human resources required in both research and industry, at various level of qualification from operator to researcher in the nuclear industry.
