This paper will discuss about the outcomes of organizing of 1st Asian Symposium on Materials Testing Reactor (ASMTR 2011). The ASMTR2011 was held from February 16 to 18, 2011 at the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The objective of this symposium is exchange of information among each testing reactors for mutual understanding status of each reactor, and discuss about construction of Asian network for testing reactors. This symposium is jointly organized by Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Papers were called for the following areas; Status and future plan of testing reactors, Research and development of Irradiation tests include RI and Si semiconductor production technology, Research and development of PIEs, Utilization of testing reactors, Nuclear Human Resource Development, Best practice for Nuclear Non-Proliferation. In this symposium, 47 persons from Asian countries have attended, and the construction of the Asian network for testing reactors was discussed.
