Japan Atomic Energy Research InstituteUnification of JAERI and JNC- Schedule December 2001

Unification plan of JAERI & JNC were
decided to make a research institute of nuclear science
according to global reform plan of the government-fundedorganizations.

February 2002

A council, chaired by deputy minister of MEXT, waswas set up for reviewing missions of the new institute.

August 2002An interim report was prepared by the Council, andmore detail review has been continued under the Council.

Around June 2003
April 2005 ?

(Schedule from now on)
Final report” will be made.
New institute, hopefully name is JAERI, will beestablished.

Unification of JAERI and JNC- Expected missions -(1) To do comprehensively basic research of nuclear andtechnology.
(2) To establish nuclear fuel cycle.
(3) To do nuclear research and development of nuclear
safety, and support nation in nuclear emergency.
(4) To Promote industry-university collaboration andcooperation.
(5) To foster international cooperation in peaceful use ofnuclear energy.
(6) To bring up human resources for nuclear application in
Japan and Asian countries.
(7) To manage rad-waste from research facilities.

9 Nomination of geological disposal site has started sincelast year.

Accelerator Driven Transmutation System(ADS)- continued zPartitioning and Transmutation (P&T) will be key technology toreduce the environmental burden of High Level Waste (HLW).
zADS will play an important role to reduce the long-term toxicity of HLW
by incinerating minor actinides and long-lived FPs.

View of J-PARC¾The Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) is indispensable
step to carry forward the R&D of transmutation technology.
¾At least 400MeV proton is essential to the ADS experiment.

JAERI View- summary •To complete accelerator (linac & 3GeV ring)and neutron facilities(MLF).
To start preparation of neutron instruments.

2) Next Step

To start ADS with full energy of linac.

I hope to hear fruitful advices and suggestions from thecommittee.
