Annual report and account of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, for fiscal 1975

Works in the JAERI from April 1975 to March 1976 are described. In the fiscal year, while the importance of nuclear energy was re-stressed, its safety aspect was also mounting. Among features in the JAERI were thus criticality of a NSRR (Nuclear Safety Research Reactor), completion of the conceptual design of a multi-purpose high-temperature gas cooled reactor, and start of the development of a critical fusion plasma testing device. The annual report is presented covering safety research, multi-purpose high-temperature gas cooled reactor, nuclear fusion, fundamental studies, radiation applications, facility operation and safety management, research support and external affairs, and international cooperation; and the financial accounts.
