Demands for specialists of quantum and radiation engineering in medicine, industry,agriculture, materials and many more areas have been increased.
Quantum and radiation engineering is applied not only to the foundation of nuclear power generation engineering
but also to interdisciplinary fields where advanced science and technology are integrated.
In the 21st century, quantum radiation is applied to diverse areas, such as manufacturing, medicine, food andenvironment. The economic scale of these areas supported by quantum radiations accounts is getting much larger
portion than that by nuclear power. It would not be possible to talk about the development of a sustainable society
without quantum radiation.

Open course for Radiation Engineering

The Department of Quantum and Radiation Engineering aims to develop specialists who can conduct importantfundamental research for science and technology, having a wide range of knowledge of quantum radiations relating
to advanced science, and contributing to society with a high ethical sense.

Many opportunities for hands-on training at research facilities, which would not be
possible at other universities;
Courses designed to develop highly competent specialists who will be able to playa leading role in the ﬁeld of quantum and radiation engineering in the future.
Quantum and radiation engineering is advanced interdisciplinary science, covering quite extensive areas wherecutting-edge science and technology in various engineering fields are integrated, based on advanced technology inphysics, chemistry, machinery, electricity, materials, biology and information.
Furthermore, Quantum and radiation engineering is widely applied in the medical field; X-ray examinations, cancer
treatment and sterilization, and in the industrial field; nondestructive tests, ultra-microfabrication, semiconductor
technology and high-molecular polymerization, and also in the agricultural field; breeding of crops and usefulmicroorganisms for fermentation.
Accordingly, the total economic scale of these fields has become huge, now reaching several trillions of yen.

Charged particle beams generated in an accelerator, synchrotron radiation andneutron as secondary beams, and quantum beams such as various kinds ofdischarge plasmas, are frequently used as indispensable tools in cutting-edge
science and technology fields today.
Quantum and radiation engineering is also essential in
the energy field to ensure the safer operation of fission
nuclear reactors, and also to develop nuclear fusion
reactors, the ultimate energy source in the future. In
these fields, developing advanced materials is required for severe irradiation environment.
The Department of Quantum and Radiation Engineeringoffers advanced education research utilizing the cobalt-60
irradiation field that is the largest scale facility among universities in Japan. In addition, several accelerators, large-scale radiation-related facilities,
and one of the highest level clean-room in Japan are available for education andresearch.
The objectives of the department are to elucidate the elementary process of the interactions between quantum radiations and substances,to provide practical training and conduct research using related facilities, and todevelop specialists who play an important role in today’s quantum science andradiation technology.
The department aims to help students develop profound expertise and outstanding
abilities necessary for sophisticated use of radiations and quantum beams. Toachieve this aim, high expertise such as safe operation and maintenance/management of radiation-handling facilities is required. Our supervisionand instruction would enable them to become
highly qualified engineers or researchers and toplay a leadership role in radiation-related industries and at safety-regulatory government agencies. They would contribute themselves to society,based on humanity and a high sense of ethics,
which are essential to ensure the safe of thesociety and build its safety culture.
