A state of nuclear power in Japan and world and bring up best brains
Description
History of nuclear power and the related policy in Japan is explained. Safety of nuclear power has not been cleared to people. The specialists have to show people information how to decide nuclear power policy. There are two lines such as 1) uranium and plutonium line and 2) thorium cycle line. With developing an accelerator driven system of plutonium, we should develop thorium cycle in order to be desirable for non-proliferation and residual activity. Today, the budget for energy development and nuclear power in Japan has to be reconsidered. The budget for development of natural energy in this country is the largest in the world, but the fruits are very small. Many universities stopped nuclear reactor for research and only five reactors for research are operating in Japan. We must find new way of a corporation combined JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) with JNC (Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute) and reconstruction to share the use of facilities. The progressive researches bring up best brains using small reactor. Other countries use many kinds of energies and begin to study new researches. (S.Y.)
