The Klein Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering (KINS&E) is a unique interdisciplinary academic research institute at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. KINS&E is dedicated to advancing capabilities in nuclear energy by developing cutting-edge expertise and knowledge. The institute emphasizes next-generation reactor technologies with a focus on reliability, safety, and long-term performance.
We are engaged in research, innovation, and education in the field of advanced nuclear systems, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs), and microreactors. These systems offer compact, efficient, and scalable solutions to meet growing energy needs and support modern, distributed energy architectures. KINS&E aims at bringing together academia, industry, and government to develop solutions that will define the future of nuclear energy, from powering artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to supporting national and global energy security.
KINS&E seeks to be a center of academic excellence for research and education in nuclear science and engineering, and invites students, researchers, and strategic partners to take part in developing the future of nuclear energy.
