In previous research, there was no science that deals with the environmental dynamics such as
the distribution, migration, and existance form of radioactive materials. Since radioactive material
is transferring in a diﬀerent form in diﬀerent environments, the elucidation of existence form andthe development of new measurement techniques are required. Additionally, in the studies ofeach ministries, since the research on the oceans and the atmosphere is limited and insuﬃcient,bottom-up of research will be necessary.
In this meeting, thoseissues and the future
development
werediscussed over twodays.
The meeting started
in the morning of 19th
with the greeting ofMr. Misawa, the seniorscientiﬁc research specialist.
Afterwards,
there was an explanation of overall summary and coordinationcommittee. In the general meeting, research
report was made by allgroup of A01-04 andcoordination committee far into the night.
Various opinions were submitted for each reporting group and the lively discussion had been
made beyond the team.

Toward Future

The discussion was quite lively. Even
though once the meeting was closed, hot
debate was continued through the night.
We had another meeting in the morningof the next day and continued discussions
as time allowed.

If we consider our research as ﬂow, future tasks for us need to ﬁll the gap ofintermitted research outcome.
In most cases, the study that can not be done by individual or a team is strongly
required.
We are hoping to clarify the perspective of launching the new academic area
without being too caught up in outreach.
