IAEA Interns from COE-INES met Director General Elbaradei |
| COE-INES dispatches doctoral course students employed as research assistants
(RAs) to overseas organization including IAEA every year as a part of the
COE-INES Captainship Education Program. In FY2007, COE-INES sent two RA students
to IAEA as 11 weeks intern. They have been building up their experience through
working in international organization. Recently, they met IAEA Director General
Mohamed Elbaradei, Nobelist for Peace. Four Tokyo Tech students including
COE-INES RAs are working as the IAEA interns in this year. |

The 2nd Tokyo Tech-MIT Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy Systems |
“The 2nd Tokyo Tech-MIT Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy Systems” (TM-INES 2) was jointly held by COE-INES, CRINES (Tokyo Tech) and the Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems (CANES) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at Kamakura and Tokyo Tech on July 23-25, 2007, with a student workshop at Tokyo Tech on July 19-20.
The technical session in the symposium was held with 70 participants including 13 persons of MIT guests and 26 oral presentations at KKR Kamakura Wakamiya Hotel, Kamakura, on July 23-24. The MIT guests were acclaimed to Tokyo Tech on July 25. The courtesy visit of Prof. Kazimi (CANES, MIT) to Prof. Aizawa, the President of Tokyo Tech, RLNR laboratory tour for MIT guests, a student poster session and the special educational session were held on the day. The student workshop for “Nuclear Educational Game Production” was opened for Ph D course students of both Institutes in advance. The games and game concepts prepared by them were brushed-up in the workshop with lectures by Prof. Takaki, Mr. Yamato and Mr. Kimura, game producers of a computer game for public nuclear education distributed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company. The brushed-up results were introduced in the special educational session at Tokyo Tech on July 25 as 7 game proposals including 2 games produced by cooperation of both Institutes. Both students especially deepened their warm communication through the workshop event and room-share in the hotel in Kamakura. Sustainable cooperation activity between both Institutes was still expected for development of innovative nuclear energy systems.

MIT-Tokyo Tech Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy System |
MIT-Tokyo Tech Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy Systems” was jointly held by the Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems (CANES) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and COE-INES at November 2-4, 2005.
Main symposium was held at Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston, in Boston Cambridge, on November 2 and November 4. After the MIT tour on November 3, the poster session and special lecture addressed by Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, General Director, IAEA, Nobel laureate for peace prize, were performed at StataCenter in MIT campus.
The total number of participants is 87. On behalf of Japanese delegation, 16 researchers (H. Sekimoto COE-Leader, 8 professors of Tokyo Institute of Technology, 5 Ph.D. candidate students, 2 company employees) participated in the symposium. From the UnitedState side, MIT, USDepartment of Energy (DOE), Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) presented.
Regarding innovative nuclear energy systems, we deepned research exchanges with MIT in this symposium and accomplished for a further development of international collaboration.

Investigation of Innovative Nuclear Energy System Development in Argentina |
| An investigation of innovative nuclear energy system development in Argentina was performed by Prof. Toru Obara, who was in charge of foreign affairs, and Prof. Hiroshi Akatsuka, who was a sub-chief for education promotion activity, from March 14 to March 18, 2005. In the investigation, they visited Nuclear Energy Commission in Argentina (CNEA) and exchanged information about nuclear energy development in both countries. Furthermore they visited Dr. Prof. Jose Abriata, President of CNEA and discussed about future collaboration activities between COE-INES and CNEA. In addition to that, they visited nulcear research institutions in Argentia and investigated
their research activities. Especially in Balseiro Institute, they investigated
an innovative small nuclear reactor CAREM development project, which was in progress in Argentia, and discussed about future collaboration activities. |
