This report is the Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Materials Testing Reactors hosted by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The 4th symposium was originally scheduled to be held INVAP in Argentina. However, the aftermath of volcanic explosion at Chili forced the symposium to change place. Total 111 participants attended from Argentina, Belgium, France, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, South Africa, Switzerland, the United State and Japan. This symposium addressed the general topics of "status and future plan of materials testing reactors", "advancement of irradiation technology", "expansion of industry use(RI)", "facility, upgrade, aging management", "new generation MTR", "advancement of PIE technology", "development of advanced driver fuel", and "nuclear human resource development(HRD) for next generation", and 39 presentations were made.
