MMSU partners with DOST-PNRI for joint nuclear R&D
Like atoms forming molecules through strong linkages, the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) has also made a new foray in academic partnerships up north as representatives from Mariano Marcos State University in Ilocos Norte signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint research and development on nuclear and radiation technology.
The MOU looks forward to an active cooperation between the agency and the university, particularly through joint research projects, technology transfer, exchange of data and expertise of their scientists, engineers and students, OJTs, fellowships and workshops, among others.
In particular, the parties also aim to eventually incorporate nuclear science and engineering in the curriculum of select courses and degrees.
Among the particular fields of research are nuclear science and engineering, as well as the Atom's various applications in agriculture, health and medicine, industry and manufacturing, food processing and related areas.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 22 - Call for papers for the 4th Philippine Nuclear Research and Development Conference
The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PNRI) announces the 4th Philippine Nuclear Research and Development Conference (PNRDC 2025) to be held on December 10-11, 2025 at the PNRI Auditorium, Commonwealth Avenue, Diliman Quezon City.
This year’s conference coincides with the 53rd Atomic Energy Week (AEW) celebration, making it a significant event for the nuclear science community.
PNRDC 2025 will bring together leading experts and researchers in the country to share the latest advancements in nuclear research, development, and innovation. The conference aims to foster dialogue on nuclear science, technology, and policy, creating a platform for engagement among researchers, policymakers, and the public.
PNRDC 2025 will partner with a Scopus-indexed journal to publish a special issue on Nuclear Science and Technology. This special issue will feature full-paper versions of selected presentations from the conference, subject to the journal’s peer-review process.
Researchers, academics, and professionals are invited to submit abstracts for possible oral or poster presentations at the conference. The PNRDC offers a valuable opportunity to showcase research to a national audience and contribute to the dialogue on the future of nuclear science and technology.

PNRI researcher gets best student poster award in Poland environmental radioactivity conference
Fern Rose A. Peregrino, project technical assistant of the DOST-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute’s Nuclear Materials Research Section, recently won the Best Student Poster Award at the 8th International Conference on Environmental Radioactivity (ENVIRA 2025) held September 14-19, 2025 in Kraków, Poland.
Peregrino’s study “Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling and Radiological Environmental Impact Assessment for the Potential Reopening of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, Philippines” was recognized for its scientific rigor, clarity, and national relevance.
An MS in Environmental Engineering student at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Peregrino was the only master’s student to earn the award, as other competitors were PhD students from top universities in Europe and East Asia.
The biennial ENVIRA is one of the premier international gatherings in the field of environmental radioactivity.

Nuclear tech featured down south at Zampen RSTW X HANDA Mindanao Leg
Capitalizing on the importance of science despite the onslaught of natural hazards, scientists from the DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute showcased vital nuclear technologies and life-saving initiatives in this year's Regional Science and Technology Week (RSTW) celebration in Zamboanga Peninsula, back-to-back with the HANDA Pilipinas Mindanao Leg held from September 23 to 25 in Zamboanga City.
Among the technologies featured in the RSTW booth are PNRI's nuclear medicine facility which will focus in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as the Institute's radiation technologies for processing food and medical products.
Meanwhile, HANDA features the country's current developments towards a national radiological emergency preparedness and response and the use of isotope hydrology studies in assessing groundwater and soil contamination after flooding during typhoons or storm surges.
PNRI and one of its technology adopters also presented to interested stakeholders the Institute's award-winning carrageenan plant growth promoter which can increase the yield of various food crops.
