Activity report of Radiation Science Center

On April 1997, National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK), Institute of Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo (INS), and Meson Science Laboratory, Faculty of Science, University of Tokyo began to work newly as High Energy Accelerator Research Organization after reconstructing and converting their systems, under aiming at further development of a wide field of accelerator science using a high energy accelerator. Hitherto, the large scale research plans of accelerator at the KEK have been not only received their relation communities on learning importance, meanings and social factors from their stages, but also promoted carefully under opinions and evaluation of outer objective ones and received outer serious evaluations for established research results either. Radiation Science Center of Common Research Facility started under jointing some sections relating to KEK and INS. Outer evaluation at this time is to receive evaluation works of research assistance and R and D at old Radiation Safety Management Center of KEK and Radiation Management Room and Interdisplinary Laboratory in INS. This report was prepared separately on actions of the Radiation Safety Management Center in the first section of the KEK and on actions of the Interdisplinary Laboratory and the Radiation Management Room of the INS at center of research assistance actions conducted hitherto, relating developmental research, future problems and so on, as well as outlines of the old organizations.
