We are open to researchers all over the world for the collaborative studies using irradiated-materials and actinide materials, as the most leading center in the related research field for more than 40 years since the foundation. Research subjects covered here include fundamental studies and R&D on fusion structural materials, high heat-flux ux materials, and a variety of functional materials, as well as engineering oriented studies for the safety of light water reactors and basic researches supporting them. Materials studies utilizing radio-isotopes are also being conducted. In addition, actinide-based new material development and advanced nuclear fuel development are other important topics of research in this facility.
