Based in Beijing, CNEIC was established on 25 February 1980 under the then-Ministry of Nuclear Industry (MNI) (now China National Nuclear Corporation - CNNC) to take charge of China's uranium and enrichment services. The primary stated goal of CNEIC is to "promote the international cooperation and peaceful use of nuclear energy and technology." CNEIC is a subsidiary of CNNC, and is affiliated with the New Era (Xinshidai) Group.
CNEIC conducts nuclear imports and exports for CNNC and produces and markets uranium ores in China. CNEIC's exports include: uranium and lithium isotopes and nuclear equipment and instruments. Its imports include: nuclear equipment, machinery, and instruments; computers; electronic elements and components; chemical and metallurgical materials for nuclear purposes; cascade accelerators; aviation equipment for uranium exploration; and reactor in-service inspection devices. CNEIC also produces nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection equipment.
CNEIC is the entity which sold about 5,000 specialized ring magnets to Pakistan's Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), part of that country's unsafeguarded uranium enrichment program, in late 1995.
