Vietnam Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology (VINANST), taking place every two years, is an important scientific event to promote research, development and application of nuclear energy for peaceful uses in Vietnam.

The nuclear structure of 76Ni nucleus was investigated through the (p,2p) reaction using Na(Tl) crystal arrays for prompt gamma-ray detection. A new gamma transition with an energy of 2227 keV and two previously known transitions of 2441 and 2838 keV were identified

Within the framework of the cooperation program between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute (VINATOM), a workshop on establishing IAEA-VINATOM Collaborating Center for Environmental Studies in Vietnam took place in July 2018 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The workshop focused on guidance for the Collaborating Center construction in the field of nuclear and isotope technology applications in environmental and climate change-related research.

Particle and Heavy Iron Transport code System (PHITS), a general purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code, has been developed mainly under the collaboration of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and several other research institutes in Japan and Europe
