One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative is a paramount national strategy of China, which greatly promotes the technical innovations like those in the nuclear energy industry. The Chinese HPR1000 reactor, with independent intellectual property rights, has been exported to various countries all over the world. China's nuclear energy industry is undergoing a rapid development, which demands large numbers of experts specializing in the nuclear energy. Thus, qualified PhD students play a pivotal role in this process. Moreover, the nuclear energy industry encounters ceaseless real-world stateof-the-art problems, and academic researches generally feed on them that would finally become the PhD students’ theses and dissertations. Therefore, the paradigm for intimate university-industry partnership is required. The universityindustry collaboration system provides an effective approach to cultivating high-level talents for the nuclear energy industry. Since 1996, Tsinghua University (THU) has cooperated with companies such as China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) to enroll 60 students orientated to the nuclear energy industry every year, approximately10%-15% of which would subsequently pursue doctoral degrees. This paper will illustrate, build, optimize and investigate the training mode for PhD students majoring in the nuclear science and engineering based on the university-industry collaboration system in THU. The newly established training mode includes some vital elements like the nine-year persistent system, four-supervisor cooperative cultivation and project-oriented exploratory research.
