Abstract: Nuclear technology innovation management plays a key role in the global energy transition and the development of low‐carbon economy. This paper, as a comprehensive review, systematically discusses the complex decision‐making process in nuclear technology innovation, based on the framework of multilevel decision theory and game theory. It proposes a model to cope with the dynamics of cooperation and competition among multiple stakeholders. The study deeply analyzes the roles and interactions of government, research institutions and enterprises in nuclear technology innovation, and emphasizes the importance of multilevel feedback mechanism in promoting long‐term strategic cooperation and dynamic adjustment. In addition, this review examines the core challenges facing nuclear innovation management, including security risk management, public acceptance of market volatility, cybersecurity threats, and high technology development costs. By constructing a multilevel decision model that includes classical game theory (CGT) and evolutionary game theory (EGT), the study reveals theoretical paths to optimize resource allocation and improve decision efficiency, and explores how to strike a balance between technological innovation and social acceptance. This study not only provides theoretical support for sustainable development in the field of nuclear energy but also provides a strong reference for policy makers and practitioners to formulate innovative management strategies.
