Research of Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute

Tamada, Masao

Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute (TARRI) was established in April 1963. There are irradiation facilities of quantum beam such as ion, electron, Co-60 -rays. TARRI has researched as complementary utilization together with other quantum beams such as neutron, synchrotron radiation, etc. as a part of the quantum beam platform. Recent technology transfer are outcomes of mutation-breeding sake yeast for quality sake brewed from the finest rice and cesium removal adsorbent for cartridge-type filters. Radiation-induced crosslinked resin was commercialized recently as a school teaching material. Dissemination of radiation technology has been continued through outreach activities.
