'''Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership (GCNEP)''' is a premier research and training institute under India’s Department of Atomic Energy, established to foster international cooperation in nuclear energy, security, and safety, located on a 400-acre campus in Jasaur Kheri, Haryana. Initiated in 2010 and officially opened in 2017, GCNEP serves as a global hub, hosting workshops, training courses, and research in areas like nuclear forensics, proliferation-resistant reactors, and radiological safety, partnering with nations including the U.S. and the IAEA to address evolving nuclear challenges. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.gcnep.gov.in/}} ==Mission== The GCNEP’s mission is to promote the safe, secure, and sustainable use of nuclear energy worldwide by facilitating international dialogue, training programs, and cutting-edge research in nuclear security, radiation protection, and advanced nuclear technologies. It seeks to build a robust global nuclear security architecture, combat illicit trafficking, and enhance capacity through five specialized schools, supporting India’s commitment to peaceful nuclear energy use and non-proliferation. ==Parent organization== The GCNEP operates under the [[Department of Atomic Energy]], which oversees its establishment, funding, and strategic direction as one of six R&D units in India’s nuclear sector. The [[Department of Atomic Energy]] is the top organization, aligning GCNEP with national nuclear policy and international cooperation goals. ==Legislation== The GCNEP was not created by specific legislation but was approved by the Government of India in September 2010 under the Department of Atomic Energy’s authority, formalized through a memorandum with international partners like the U.S. in November 2010, extended in 2020 for another decade. ==Partners== The GCNEP collaborates with: * [[Department of Atomic Energy]] (lead) * [[United States Department of State]] (via 2010 MOU, extended 2020) * [[International Atomic Energy Agency]] (IAEA) * Regional partners (e.g., Bangladesh, China, Indonesia) ==Number of employees== The GCNEP does not publicly specify an employee count; it likely employs dozens to hundreds of researchers, trainers, and administrative staff, drawing additional expertise from DAE and international collaborators for its programs. ==Organization structure== The GCNEP is structured around five specialized schools: * School of Radiological Safety Studies conducts research and training in radiation protection. * School of Nuclear Security Studies focuses on nuclear material security and forensics. * School of Advanced Nuclear Energy System Studies explores reactor design. * School of Nuclear Material Characterization Studies advances safeguards research. * School of Applications of Radioisotopes and Radiation Technology promotes isotope applications. ===Leader=== The GCNEP is led by a [[Director]], currently Vimal Kumar Jain (as of recent updates), overseeing its strategic and operational activities. ===Divisions=== The efforts include: * Nuclear Security Training for global capacity building. * Radiological Research for safety and emergency response. * Advanced Reactor Studies for sustainable technology. ==List of programs== Key GCNEP initiatives include: * IAEA International Training Course on Security of Non-Nuclear Radioactive Material in Transport * Indo-US Technical Exchange on AC&D Central Alarm Station Software Simulation * School of Nuclear Security Studies Workshops ==Last total enacted budget== The GCNEP’s budget is not publicly detailed; it is funded through the DAE’s annual allocations (e.g., ₹49,618 crore in FY 2024-25 for DAE), with specific GCNEP funding undisclosed but likely in the range of millions annually, supplemented by international partnerships. ==Staff== Staffing includes researchers, nuclear scientists, security experts, and trainers, estimated at dozens to low hundreds, supported by DAE personnel and visiting international faculty, with no exact count specified. ==Funding== The GCNEP’s funding comes from the DAE’s budget (e.g., ₹49,618 crore in FY 2024-25), with contributions from international partners like the U.S. and IAEA for specific programs, though precise figures for GCNEP alone are not isolated in public records. ==Services provided== The GCNEP offers training in nuclear security and safety, conducts R&D in advanced nuclear systems and radiological protection, and facilitates international workshops, enhancing global expertise and supporting nuclear forensics and emergency preparedness. ==Regulations overseen== The GCNEP does not oversee regulations but contributes to nuclear safety and security standards through research and training, aligning with IAEA guidelines and India’s nuclear policies. ==Headquarters address== Jasaur Kheri, Bahadurgarh, Haryana 124505, India ==History== The GCNEP was approved by India’s government in September 2010, with a U.S.-India MOU signed on November 7, 2010, to foster cooperation, officially opening its campus in 2017 near Bahadurgarh. It has since hosted numerous international events—like the 2024 Indo-US Technical Exchange—and extended its U.S. partnership in October 2020 for another decade, growing into a key global nuclear security and research hub under DAE leadership. ==External links== * [https://www.gcnep.gov.in/ Official Website] * [[wikipedia:Global_Centre_for_Nuclear_Energy_Partnership]] * [https://in.usembassy.gov/joint-press-statement-on-10-years-of-cooperation-regarding-the-global-centre-for-nuclear-energy-partnership/ U.S.-India Joint Statement] * [https://dae.gov.in/ Department of Atomic Energy] ==References== <references />
