In September 1948, Francisco Franco, by means of a decree of reserved character, created the Board of Atomic Investigations o Junta de Investigaciones Atómicas (JIA), constituted 8 October 1948 and formed by Jose Maria Otero de Navascués (director-general and president until 1974), Manuel Lora-Tamayo, Armando Durán Miranda and José Ramón Sobredo i Rioboo.
In 1951, after finishing the secret phase, it was rebaptized as Board of Nuclear Power or Junta de Energía Nuclear (JEN), under the presidency of General Juan Vigón and with Otero de Navascués as chief of the main directorate (later he would be its president again), and has since carried out research and technological development projects, serving as a reference to technically represent Spain in international forums and to advise public administrations on matters within its areas of research.{{cite journal |last1=Sánchez Ron |first1=José Manuel |title=La Física en España (IV): La era franquista |journal=Revista Española de Física |date=2003 |volume=17 |issue=4 |pages=7–13 |url=http://revistadefisica.es/index.php/ref/article/view/586 |access-date=27 July 2022 |publisher=Universidad Complutense de Madrid |language=es |issn=0213-862X}}
In 1956, Guillermo Velarde entered the Division of Theoretical Physics of this Meeting, later being named Director of Technology that included the Divisions of Electronics, Theory and Calculation of Reactors, Nuclear Fusion, Engineering and Reactors in Operation.{{cite web |url=http://www.denim.upm.es/index.php/es/personnel/110-guillermo-velarde |title=Guillermo Velarde |website=Instituto de Fusión Nuclear |publisher=Universidad Politécnica de Madrid |language=es |access-date=29 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141219213123/http://www.denim.upm.es/index.php/es/personnel/110-guillermo-velarde |archive-date=19 December 2014 }}
