Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering. Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering (, traditionally abbreviated ) is an institution of higher education located in Obninsk. It began as a branch of the Moscow Engineering and Physics Institute in 1953 to provide specialists in the field of nuclear physics, reactor physics and reactor engineering for the Soviet Union's growing nuclear industry. The education was provided in close cooperation with nuclear-related research institutions in Obninsk.

In 1985 the status was changed for Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering to be the leading educational institution to train specialists for rapidly developing nuclear power in the former Soviet Bloc countries. In 2002 it acquired the status of the state technical university. In 2002-2009 it functioned as the Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering. ().

In 2009 the Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering  was incorporated into the MEPhI National Research Nuclear University.
