Participants
at FNCA 2002 Workshop
on Application of Electron Accelerator
in Takasaki, Japan |
The 2nd Workshop was held from December 16 through December
30, 2002 at the Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research Establishment
(TRCRE), Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) sponsored
by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and
Technology (MEXT) and was attended by experts on application
of electron accelerator from each of the participating countries,
i.e., China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Thailand and Vietnam, and 40 participants from Japan.
The main topic of the 2nd Workshop was the EB radiation system
for the liquid samples including the demonstration test of
EB system for liquid, review of the radiation systems, and
designing and cost analysis of EB irradiation system.
The participants had the opportunity to discuss, exchange
opinions and share their experiences on issues related to
radiation processing and utilization of low energy electron
accelerators in particular for liquid samples.
Each participating country presented proposal for the cooperation
in the application of low energy electron accelerator, and
some countries have changed their plans from the previous
workshop proposals.
The major areas of interest of FNCA countries for cooperation
were identified for application of low energy electron accelerator
as liquid, thin film and granules. The gas and wastewater
treatments were added to the above major areas.
Several countries that have low energy electron accelerators,
China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, have offered
their facilities to be used for the project. Iwasaki Electric
Co., Ltd., Nissin-High Voltage Co., Ltd. and EB-Tech Co.,
Ltd. will consider the possibility of offering their facilities
for the project.
The participants visited Tokyo INK Mfg. Co., Ltd. and Iwasaki
Electric Co., Ltd. They also learned about the flue gas treatment
and soft-electron through videotapes prepared by EBARA Corporation
and Nissin-High Voltage Co., Ltd.
Radiation degradation of chitosan in solution using low energy
electron accelerator was demonstrated at the radiation processing
laboratory of TRCRE and the participants visited a laboratory
for volatile organic compounds (VOC) that uses low energy
electron accelerator.
At the Round Table Discussion on the fourth day of the Workshop,
discussions were carried out to re-formulate the work plan
of the project for three years until FY 2004 as recommended
at the 3rd FNCA Coordinators Meeting in March 2002.
It was agreed that gas treatment, including flue gas and dioxins
etc., and water purification be included in this program.
The venue of next workshop on the application of electron
accelerator for thin film, including hydrogel, membrane and
packaging film etc., will be held in late August or September
2003, at Malaysian Institute of Nuclear Technology Research
(MINT), or in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. |

MINUTES of FNCA 2002 Workshop on Application
of Electron Accelerator
- Radiation System for Liquid Samples -
16 - 20 December, 2002,
Takasaki, Japan

This Workshop was sponsored by the Ministry of Education,
Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and hosted
by Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). It
was held at the Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research
Establishment (TRCRE), JAERI, Takasaki, Japan. The main
objective of the workshop was to discuss present status
of utilization of electron accelerator in the FNCA participating
countries and to re-formulate detailed program for cooperation.
The Workshop was attended by experts on application
of electron accelerator from each of the participating
countries, i.e. China (1), Indonesia (3), Korea (1),
Malaysia (1), the Philippines (2), Thailand (2) and
Vietnam (2) (figures in the brackets are the number
of persons who attended) and 15 participants from Japan.
An expert on liquid waste treatment by electron beam
was invited from Korea to give a lecture. Annex 1 shows
the list of participants.
This is the second workshop of the FNCA project on Application
of Electron Accelerator. The main objective of the project
is to develop new technology using low energy electron
beam (EB) irradiation system, which has a variety of
applications and good safety feature, and to demonstrate
its application. The main subject of fiscal year (FY)
2002 workshop is on liquid systems; demonstration test
of EB system for liquid, review of the irradiation systems,
and designing and cost analysis of EB irradiation system.
A total of 18 papers including invited papers on the
current status of application of electron accelerator,
especially on liquid systems, in the participating countries
were presented. The program of the workshop is given
in Annex 2. The participants had the opportunity to
discuss, exchange opinions and share their experiences
on issues related to radiation processing and utilization
of low energy electron accelerators in particular, mainly
on liquid systems, though some countries proposed gas
treatment.
Each participating country presented proposal for the
cooperation in the application of low energy electron
accelerator, as shown in Annex 3.
At the Round Table Discussion on the fourth day of the
Workshop, discussions were carried out to revise the
formulated details of the program for FNCA cooperation.
It was explained that the program is for three years
until FY 2004 as recommended at the 3rd FNCA Coordinators
Meeting in March 2002. The work plan of the project
on the application of electron accelerators was re-formulated
and agreed upon, as shown in Annex 4. It was agreed
that gas treatment, including flue gas and dioxins etc.,
and water purification (waste water and drinking water)
be included in this program. Upon these changes, the
main subject of the workshop for FY2004 has two options;
gas treatment (workshop will be held in China), or,
water treatment (workshop will be held in Korea). The
original proposed workshop on granules is to be postponed.
Each participating country was requested to send its
decision on the suitable main subject to Dr. Kume, project
leader of Japan, by the end of February 2003, well in
advance of the next (the 4th) Coordinators Meeting,
where the whole framework will be finalized.
The major areas of interest of FNCA countries for cooperation
were identified for application of low energy electron
accelerator as liquid, thin film, granules and gas.
The mechanism of cooperation of the FNCA project would
be in the form of research collaboration. Several countries
who have low energy electron accelerators: China, Indonesia,
Japan, Korea and Malaysia, have offered their facilities
to be used for the project. Iwasaki Electric Co., Ltd.,
Nissin-High Voltage Co., Ltd. and EB-Tech Co., Ltd.
will consider the possibility of offering their facilities
for the project. It is recommended that low energy accelerator
be made available in each FNCA participating country.
In the meantime, countries without electron accelerators
can make use of accelerators available in other member
countries.
Radiation degradation of chitosan in solution using
low energy electron accelerator was demonstrated, and
the participants visited a laboratory for volatile organic
compounds (VOC) that uses low energy electron accelerator.
They also learned about the flue gas treatment and soft-electron
through videotapes prepared by EBARA Corporation and
Nissin-High Voltage Co., Ltd.
The participants visited Toyo Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd. and
Iwasaki Electric Co., Ltd. They were impressed by the
variety of electron accelerators and their industrial
applications, such as very low energy electron tube,
and proto-type soft-electron irradiation apparatus for
granules.
The minutes of the workshop were discussed and agreed
upon by all the participants. This will be reported
at the 4th FNCA Coordinators Meeting to be held in March
2003 in Tokyo or Okinawa, Japan.
The venue of next workshop on the application of electron
accelerator for thin film, including hydrogel, membrane
and packaging film etc., will be held in late August
or September 2003, at Malaysian Institute of Nuclear
Technology Research (MINT), or in the city of Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.
The participants expressed their sincere gratitude to
the organizer and host institute for a well-organized
workshop and for their hospitality. |
