JAEA has been conducting the Instructor Training Program (ITP) since 1996 under the auspices of MEXT to contribute to human resource development in currently 11 Asian countries in the field of radiation utilization for seeking peaceful use of nuclear energy. ITP consists of Instructor Training Course (ITC), Follow-up Training Course (FTC) and Nuclear Technology Seminars. In the ITP, trainings or seminars relating to technology for nuclear utilization are held in Japan by inviting nuclear related people from Asian countries to Japan and after that, the past trainees are supported during FTC by dispatching Japanese specialists to Asian countries. News Letter is also prepared to provide the broad range of information obtained through the trainings for local people near NPPs in Japan. The present report describes the activities of FY2014 ITP and future challenges for improving ITP more effectively.

To continue utilizing nuclear energy in the future, a key issue still remains concerned with the public's perception of generating radioactive waste and its subsequent safe disposal. Despite undertaking long term research and development to implement a program of geological disposal of radioactive waste, the social recognition and public understanding is still insufficient. Consequently, JAEA has been trying to extend the public's scientific understanding by showing its research facilities. In this report, the content of more than 1000 answer sheets have been analyzed from members of the public who visited the JAEA research facilities. Several important findings were obtained, in particular, notable differences were found in the answers of those who had also visited an underground tunnel compared with those who had not. This and other findings are significant in promoting the social recognition of the ongoing research and development of the geological disposal of radioactive waste.

JAEA organizes the "Technical Committee for Geological Isolation Research & Development", which consists of specialists in relevant fields at universities and institutes, in order to facilitate planning and conducting of a program of research and development (R&D) for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste and TRU waste at JAEA-Tokai, through reflecting technical advices and comments made from them into the program. This report presents the minutes of the third meeting held in March 2008.

The nuclear waste disposal is still in discussion as one of the key issue while we continue the sustainable atomic energy use, and it has been taking with much of the viewpoint of the social acceptance. In addition it may be said that it is the problem that the long term necessity to promote the disposal arise the subjects of the security of people who take charge of the disposal project. Also the management of knowledge with technical information between generations would become another subject in the future. To find the way out of these concerns, the practices having been tryed by the researcher group towards the student generation are reviewed in this report. The results of the opinion exchange and scientific communication with the people in the educational institution by the disposal research scientists are reviewed based on the questionnaire and discussion at a practice of schooling and lecture at high schools and universities.

In order to plan and conduct a program of research and development (R&D) for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in JAEA-Tokai, JAEA decided to receive technical comments and advices from the Technical Committee for geological isolation R&D. This committee, which is constituted of specialists who do not belong to JAEA, has evaluated the program, taking into account of the status of geological disposal technology in Japan as well as foreign countries. This report compiles the minutes of the second meeting held in March 2007.

As our risk communication activities after the Fukushima nuclear accident, we have conducted explanatory meetings on radiation risk and its influence on human health. We carried out the meetings to reduce anxiety and concerns about radiation risk among residents in Ibaraki and Fukushima prefectures. The meetings incorporate the residents needs, and have interactive two-way communication as long as possible. We show the opinions of the participants and the results of the questionnaire survey in the meetings.

The educational activities have been continued for more than 5 years to introduce the right understanding about radioactive waste arising from the use of the nuclear energy with giving a lecture as a scientific schooling activities. In this report, the experience from the viewpoint of knowledge on communicating scientific topics about nuclear energy and radwaste will be discussed. Also with the consideration of how much difference and change were watched after the scientific lecture with questionnaire answer from the students with various technological background.
