Types of International
Collaboration :Japanese Case

International
IAEA, OECD/NEA, UNSCEAR etc.

Regional
FNCA（Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia),
ANSN (Asian Nuclear Safety Network),
RCA(Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research,
Development and Training to Nuclear Science and
Technology) etc.

Bilateral
Japan- Korea, China, USA, France, Germany, Sweden,
Great Britain, Italy etc.

ANSN

Japan has supported Asian countries to
enhance their infrastructure of emergency
countermeasures and response for nuclear
installations in an operation of the ANSN, which
is a part of the IAEA cooperation business to
Asia.
 Participating countries and organization
Japan: NISA/JNES
Korea: KINS/KAERI etc.
China: CAEA/BINE
Indonesia: BAPTEN/BATAN
Malaysia: AELB
Philippines: PNRI
Singapore: NEA
Vietnam: VAEC
Thailand: OAP
France: EdF
Germany: GRS
Australia: ANSTO
USA: ANL

Recommendation(1)
Networking and international/regional/bilateral cooperation be
considered as an essential element in nuclear energy program
 Learning experiences/lessons learned from countries already
engaged in nuclear power program through International
organizations (IAEA, WANO) and regional cooperation
 Guidelines from international organizations such as IAEA
(infrastructure building over 19 topical issues including legal,
regulatory, human resources, industrial involvement etc.)
 Regional sharing of resources would benefit not only in
infrastructure building but also in operation & maintenance of NPP
Examples : ANSN, FNRBA (Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in
Africa), FNCA, RCA, African regulators, GCC(Gulf Cooperative
Council), Baltic countries

TECDOC 1522 “Sharing nuclear power infrastructure”
(2006 October)
Potential exists for;
• Grid system
• Human resources development
by establishing regional training centre
by utilizing under-utilized Research
Reactors
• Localization of industrial capacity
• Maintenance and In-service inspection
• Models for national legal framework
• Research and development
Further
• Waste management and disposal etc.

Examples of Japanese International
Cooperation in Asia Region
1)
Active implementation of information exchange meetings and safetyrelated seminars with Asian Countries
–
–
–
–
Japan-China-South Korea Top Regulators Meeting On Nuclear Safety(2008-)
Japan-China Nuclear Safety Seminar (1996-)
Japan-South Korea Safety Information Exchange Meeting(1991-2007)
Japan-China Information Exchange Meeting (1995-2007)
2) Training projects are implemented for China and Vietnam to nurture
human resources for nuclear safety
– Training project for operation supervisors (1992-, Total of 201 experts as of
2009)
– Training projects for regulatory body officers (1996-, Total of 138 experts as of
2009)
3) Consultation for “Foundation for Regional Cooperation Framework
of Nuclear Safety” in North East Asia region
– Opening of Japan, China and South Korea Workshop for operation safety
(June 2005 )
– Opening of “Japan, China and South Korea Symposium for Nuclear Safety
Regional Cooperation”
(November 2005)

Role of Academic Society
Example of AESJ
・Ivory Tower at the beginning
・Recognition of Importance of Relation between
Industries, Regulation, and Research
Organization→Standards(1999～), R&D Road
Maps(2005～)
・ Recognition of Importance of Relation between
General Society→Ethics Committee(2001～),
Social and Environmental Division(1999～),
Position Statement(2008), Team 110(2010～)

Structure of Japanese Nuclear
Regulatory Organizations

Double check, regulatory investigation,
improvement of safety review guidelines, etc.

Recommendation(2)
・Developing Countries should set up the Academic
Societies (and Industry Trade Group such as Atomic
Industrial Forum) to Introduce, Develop and Operate
Nuclear Power Smoothly.
・The Academic Societies (and Industry Trade Group) of
Developed Countries Should help setting up those
Academic Societies (and Industry Trade Group) in the
Developing Countries.
・Also, Existing Framework, such as PNC/PBNC, INSC,
should be Fully Utilized.
13
Future Role of Academic Societies



AESJ, JSME etc have set up many Codes and
Standards.→Elaborate them with Cooperation in
Asia and Dispatch them to the World as the Asian
Standard.
All Japan has Contributed Education and Training of
Nuclear Personnel Domestically and Internationally.
Further Text Books on Nuclear Engineering are
being Prepared by the University of Tokyo and AESJ.
All the Academic Societies of the Asian Countries
should Cooperate for the Peaceful Use of Nuclear
Power Making Use of the Characteristics of Each
Country.
