Nuclear transparency is recognized as essential to provide additional assurance and enhance confidence building in the Asia-Pacific as this region has a broad spectrum of nuclear development underway and planned in the future. It is expected that elevated nuclear transparency should also supplement and reinforce International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. With this recognition, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has committed various studies and activities for enhancing regional transparency mainly with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its national laboratories. The efforts include transparency concept study, development of the remote monitoring system at the Experimental Fast Reactor JOYO, cooperation to Council for Security and Cooperation in Asia Pacific (CSCAP) to develop internet-based transparency tools, establishment of Information Sharing Framework (ISF), and the hosting of a series of workshops. Based on all the achievements of the past efforts, JAEA is now moving from "study phase" toward the "implementation phase" of information sharing for enhancing its nuclear transparency. The ISF website was opened in 2015 as a part of Asia Pacific Safeguards Network (APSN) website for JAEA to provide relevant information to APSN members. This report summarizes the past studies and activities performed in JAEA for almost 20 years to enhance regional nuclear transparency and discusses the future prospect.

The 1999 JNC International Forum on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Technology, a continuation of the annual International Forum on Nuclear Non-proliferation sponsored by its predecessor organization PNC (Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation), was held February 22-23, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan. About 380 people from government, industry, and academia involved in nuclear technology and issues attended the forum. A distinguished group of speakers participated in the forum sessions including highly respected technology and policy experts from France, Russia, and the United States. Session themes were: (1) Advanced Nuclear Technology for Peaceful Purposes and Nuclear Non-Proliferation, (2) Transparency Improvements in Nuclear Technology through the Disposition of Excess Nuclear Weapons Plutonium. This document provides a record of speeches and discussion which have no written documentation and summarizes presented papers as appropriate. Full papers prepared by the presenters can be found in The Proceedings of the 1999 JNC International Forum on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy.
