Open Seminar "Prospect of the Radiation Processing and Polymer Modification"The Open Seminar titled "Prospect of Radiation Processing and Polymer Modification" was held in the National Nuclear Center (NNC) of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the morning of 8th October. The seminar was attended by around 80 participants. First, Prof Erlan Batyrbekov, Director General of the NNC and Ms Mai Fukahori, Administrative Researcher of MEXT gave a welcoming speech. Prof Batyrbekov mentioned the importance of radiation processing in the country and wished success of the event, and Ms Fukahori express her sincere gratitude for the efforts of NNC and PNT in holding the workshop and open seminar. Five (5) presentations were delivered by the participants from Japan (2), Kazakhstan (2), and Thailand (1). The summary of each report is attached in Annex 3. Session 1: OpeningMr Alxandr Borissenko, CEO of the JSC "Park of Nuclear Technologies", and Dr Hideki Namba, FNCA Advisor of Japan delivered a welcoming speech. Dr Namba mentioned that this is the first workshop after the integration of former Electron Accelerator Application project and former Biofertilizer project. Session 2: Overview and Achievements of FNCA ProjectsDr Hideki Namba, FNCA Advisor of Japan reported the achievements of FNCA activities from 2017 to 2018. Dr Masao Tamada introduced the overview of the new project with looking back on the achievements and outcomes of the former two projects. He also indicated that the project would start investigating polymers for medical and environmental applications. Research plan of each country will be discussed and shared during the workshop. Session 3: Progress Report on BiofertilizerNine (9) progress reports on their current activities of Biofertlizer were presented. The summary of each report is attached in Annex 4. Session 4: Progress Report on Polymer ModificationTen (10) country reports were presented on the progress of their current research on radiation processing and polymer modification. The summary of each report is attached in Annex 4. Session 5: Discussion on RCA ActivitiesDr Lucille Abad gave a presentation on the current status of the IAEA/RCA RAS project named"Developing and upscaling of radiation grafted materials for water treatment". The summary of this report is attached in Annex 4. Session 6: Discussion on Achievements, Obstacles and PlanningThe participants were divided into seven groups based on their research themes, namely "Degraded Chitosan for Animal Feeds", "Hydrogel for Medical Application", "Environmental Remediation", "Synergistic Effect of Plant Growth Promoters (PGP), Super Water Absorbents (SWA) and Biofertilizer (BF)", "PGP and SWA, Inclusive of Process Development", "PGP and SWA, Inclusive of Process Development" and "Sterilization of BF Carrier Using Gamma Irradiation". Session 7: Presentation on Achievements, Obstacles and PlanningEach group reported the result of discussion. The summary of each report is attached in Annex 4. Session 8: PlanningThe participants reviewed the results from the discussion and make suggestions to each group for their better planning. Session 9: SummaryDraft summary will be reviewed by the participants and fixed by Friday 19 October. Session 10: ClosingProf Erlan Batyrbekov and Dr Masao Tamada gave closing remarks. Technical Visit (11th Oct)A technical visit was conducted on 11 October and in the morning of 12 October. The participants visited Tokamak facility, Museum of Semipalatinsk Test Site, Laboratories of Institute of Radiation Safety and Ecology, Semipalatinsk experimental field site, and JSC "Park of Nuclear Technologies".
