The Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN) is a governmental agency linked to the Ministry of economic development, Science, technology and innovation of the Government of the State of São Paulo and managed technically and administratively by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), an agency of the Ministry of science, technology and innovation (MCTI), of the Federal Government.

Located on the campus of the University of São Paulo, occupying an area of 500,000 square meters, the IPEN has today an outstanding performance in various sectors of nuclear activity between them, in applications of radiation and radioisotopes in nuclear reactors, materials and fuel cycle, radiation protection and dosimetry, whose results come from providing significant advances in the field of technologies, in the production of materials and in the provision of economic and strategic value for the country , making it possible to extend the benefits of nuclear energy to larger segments of our population.

The guidelines of the institution are defined by Technical-Administrative Council (CTA), created in 1982. The CTA is composed by the Superintendent and responsible for the Boards of P & D, products and services, Special projects, administrative, radiation safety, infrastructure, and education and scientific and technological information.

The multidisciplinarity of the activities of the nuclear industry, has allowed the IPEN, driving a wide and varied programme of research and development in other areas. Among these, in biotechnology, in the area of Nuclear Physics and radiochemistry, in the area of advanced materials, the collection and preparation of special ceramics, biomaterials and growth of single crystals for use in lasers.

A rigorous program of radiological and nuclear safety control is conducted in all nuclear installations and radioactive of IPEN. This program includes radiological lookups, personal and environmental, radiological emergencies, radiotoxicológicas analyses, evaluations radiosanitárias, radiation monitors, calibration, treatment and packaging of low-activity nuclear waste.

The IPEN is still responsible, in association with the USP, by conducting postgraduate programs in masters and PhD level. CAPES, Ministry of education, has evaluated the postgraduate courses of IPEN granting in all your reviews the best concepts by placing it among the best graduate courses in the country.
