a été créé en 2013 afin de moderniser cette filière et d'accroître la production de matières nucléaires, d'en améliorer la qualité et de doter le pays d'une industrie nucléaire nationale. Il joue un rôle capital dans la mise au point d'armes nucléaires en RPDC et est responsable de la gestion au quotidien du programme d'armes nucléaires du pays. De nombreux centres de recherche et organisations nucléaires en relèvent, ainsi que deux comités : le comité chargé des applications isotopiques et le comité de l'énergie nucléaire. Le MAEI dirige également un centre de recherche nucléaire situé à Yongbyun, où se trouvent aussi les installations de traitement de plutonium. En outre, selon le rapport de 2015 du groupe d'experts, Ri Je-son, un ancien directeur du General Bureau of Atomic Energy (GBAE Bureau général de l'énergie atomique) qui avait été désigné en 2009 par le Comité du Conseil de sécurité créé par la résolution 1718 (2006) pour sa participation ou son appui à des programmes relatifs à l'énergie nucléaire, a été nommé à la tête du MAEI le 09/04/2014.
