English translation of the material used at "Meeting to Answer Questions on Radiation" was made. "Meeting to Answer Questions on Radiation" was planned, just after the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident, by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) with the purpose of providing comprehensive knowledge of radiation to the public. A total of 220 meetings was carried out from July, 2011 to February, 2013 mainly in Fukushima prefecture. Since the material used in the meetings contains many charts and is easy to understand, it has drawn attention of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who has in recent years actively supported outreach activities to disseminate knowledge on nuclear and radiation. At one of the IAEA meetings in May, 2017, Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology (ANENT), it was requested to make it for the usage of all. Providing IAEA and the member states with the English translation of the material will be a meaningful contribution sharing the outreach activity experiences in Japan.

Teacher-training programs in corporation with the local Board of Education have been continuously conducted since 2006 by the Kansai Photon Science Institute and Kids' Science Museum of Photons. The obtained results of effect evaluation were summarized on governing key factor. Recently, sufficient degree of effects have been obtained as a regional cooperation project with sustainable activities, from a view point of lectures based on the science-show and the development of the teaching materials.

Young scientists must discuss the future of science and technology because they play next generation of science and technology. In Japan, this year twenty-nineteen is the milestone year exchanged from "Heisei"to "Reiwa". At the milestone year, we look back on requirement from academia and society to accelerator, technical innovation and development of accelerator during the last three decades in "Heisei". Additionally, we discuss with young scientists and students how technical innovation, how development of accelerator, and how contribution to society during the next three decades in "Reiwa". Especially, we deeply discuss high-intensity proton accelerator and synchrotron radiation source.
