Workshop-FNCA2000
|
| |
| The workshop on the
Utilization of Research Reactor was held in Taejon, Korea from November
20-24,2000.The workshop was co-sponsored by the Ministry of Science and
Technology(MOST)of Korea and the Science and Technology Agency(STA)of Japan*,in
cooperation with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI)and Japan
Atomic Energy Research Institute(JAERI).58 participants attended this workshop
from Australia,CChina,Indonesia,Korea,Japan,Malaysia,ThailandA…CVietnam. |
| * The title was reorganized
to the Ministry of Education,Culuture,Sports,Science and Technology(MEXT)of
Japan from 2001 |

Small Anglu Nueton Scattering Experiments
(November 20-24, at HANARO Reactor Hall, Korea) |
|
|
| Report,Proceedings and results |
| 1)Neutron Scattering |
| 1. |
Themes: Research on the structure of functional
materials including high-temperature superconductor, polymer research
based on small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiment, SANS experiment
using polymeric samples, and data analysis. |
|
| 2. |
Results and Future Prospects: |
|
|
| a. |
With SANS experiments on more than 10 samples
brought by the participants, favorable data and analysis results were
obtained. |
|
| b. |
As a theme from 2001 onward, “Residual Stress
Measurement/Neutron Reflectance Measurement” was proposed for industrial
application. |
|
| c. |
It was proposed that a sub-workshop on the
SANS experiment and a joint experiment should be held at the next
workshop. (After the experiment is conducted in Korea, Indonesia,
etc., the results will be taken to China for analysis and evaluation.) |
|
|
| 2) |
Neutron Activation Analysis |
|
|
| 1. |
Theme: Support system for activation analysis |
|
| 2. |
Results and Future Prospects: |
|
|
| a. |
Information exchanges were made on support
systems for activation analysis and on the present status of activation
analysis in each country. It was agreed that Activation analysis would
be implemented in collaboration with the participating countries. |
|
| b. |
Implementation of activities that focus on
analysis of environment samples. |
|
| c. |
For the purpose of standardizing analytical
methods in each country, it was agreed that development of Ko-method
that was being standardized in Europe should be proposed. |
|
|
| 3) |
Research reactors and utilization techniques
(BNCT) |
|
|
| 1. |
Theme: BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy)
and its pertinent techniques |
|
| 2. |
Results and Future Prospects: |
|
|
| a. |
Strong requests for information exchanges
on BNCT were made by the participating countries including Korea where
a medical irradiation facility was under construction. The participants
recognized the importance of network forming for information exchanges. |
|
| b. |
It was agreed that the progress in BNCT in
each country be included in the Status Report and to continue information
exchanges. |
|
|
| 4) |
Round-table Discussion (which is lead by
project leaders in each country and at which participants discuss
future plans etc.) |
|
|
 |
| Round Table Discussion
(November 22, 2000, KAERI, Korea) |
|
| 1. |
Following reports on each session, each activity
was summed up. |
|
| 2. |
A Japanese coordinator of the Forum for Nuclear
Cooperation in Asia (FNCA) introduced the FNCA system and outlined
the first FNCA conference. A Japanese project leader, who stressed
that this activity required visible results, explained “Establishment
and diffusion of Tc generator technology that uses high-performance
molybdenum absorbent (PZC)” and “Environment analysis and resource
exploration that uses Neutron Activation Analysis” as a proposal from
Japan. |
|
| 3. |
A project leader from Korea suggested that
since the RI production-related subject proposed by Japan would also
be discussed at the IAEA/RCA expert meeting in Bangkok, in May 2001,
the discussions should be conducted in collaboration with each other. |
|
| 4. |
There was a question about funding problems
that might occur when the project proposed by Japan was set up. |
|
| 5. |
It was agreed that the 2001 workshop would
be focused on the following themes: |
|
|
| a. |
a. Neutron Scattering
Utilization of a neutron scattering technique that allows for its
application by end-users. |
|
| b. |
Neutron Activation Analysis
Application of neutron activation analysis to environmental survey
and mineral resource exploration |
|
| c. |
c. Research reactors and utilization techniques
Establishment and diffusion of Tc generator technology using PZC |
|
|
| 6. |
The chairperson offered the following suggestions:
Regarding the plan from 2002 onward, I would like to propose the above
b and c as main subjects at the FNCA Coordinators Meeting that will
be held in March, 2001. If there are other suggestions from participants,
they should be submitted to the Japan team project leaders by the
end of December. |
|
|
| A project leader from China expressed willingness
to host the 2001 Workshop. |
