The Commonwealth Nuclear Science Research Establishment (NSRE) is a research organisation of the Ministry of Light and Water. It is part of SIRO, and has laboratories in about a dozen republics, the largest of them the North Atlantic Nuclear Research Centre in Hetland.

The establishment’s best-known work is the Amun reactor, a compact fusion reactor developed by its Advanced Atomics Establishment and built under licence by General Reactor. Deployment began in 2040, and there are now about 2,400 units in service, including on the submarine ferries of Commonwealth Lines between the Arctic republics. In the early 2030s the NSRE also chaired the United Nuclear Transport Working Group, which produced the Apollo nuclear rocket. General Reactor’s Chief Scientist sits on the establishment’s board, and the two have close connections.

Most of the country’s fission plants use uranium-233 fuel from the National Centrifuge & Enrichment Plant in Speidisn, and the NSRE works with the DSRE on the military side of its research. It also covertly contributes to federal systems, including the System 12 and System 10.
