The 7th International Symposium and Seminar on Global Nuclear Human Resources Development for Safety, Security and Safeguards
From August 28 through September 1, 2017 at Ookayama Campus, Tokyo Tech, the Academy held the 7th International Symposium and Seminar related to “Nuclear Security and Safeguards”, which were open to the public. Tokyo Tech is conducting the Global Nuclear Safety and Security Agent Cultivation Program in order to develop professionals who will serve as global leaders in industry-government-academic fields related to nuclear power.
In the first two days at the symposium, highly renowned experts invited from Japan and overseas delivered lectures on atoms for peace, nuclear energy in future and nuclear human resource development. Students and young professionals attending the Symposium actively made questions to the lecturers.
In the last three days at the Seminar, leading professionals invited from Japan and overseas delivered lectures on nuclear security and safeguards. The students and young professionals then independently held group discussions in four groups and made many questions and comments to the lectures based on the discussions.
In the afternoon of the final day, as a student session, they had group discussions in each group on “Global young network for future” and presented the discussed results.
We have a total of 16 invited lecturers, such as from International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), Embassy of France in Tokyo, U.S. Department of Energy Japan, Russia, Unites States, Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), and Institute of Nuclear Materials Management Japan Chapter (INMMJ), 19 Seminar students, and approximately 30 general participants, with interviews from two media companies in this Symposium and Seminar, and the event was thus successfully conducted.
