A practical training course using the JMTR and other research infrastructures was held from July 24th to August 4th in 2017 for Asian young researchers and engineers. This course was adopted as Japan-Asia Youth Exchange Program in Science (SAKURA Exchange Program in Science) which is the project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency, and this course aims to enlarge the number of high-level nuclear researchers/engineers in Asian countries which are planning to introduce a nuclear power plant, and to promote the use of facilities in future. In this year, 10 young researchers and engineers joined the course from 6 countries. This course consists of lectures, which are related to irradiation test research, safety management of nuclear reactors, nuclear characteristics of the nuclear reactors, etc., practical training such as practice of research reactor operation using simulator and technical tour of nuclear facilities on nuclear energy. The content of this course in FY 2017 is reported in this paper.

Since fiscal 2011, a practical training course using the JMTR and other research infrastructures has been provided by Neutron Irradiation Testing Reactor Center for foreign young researchers and engineers in Asian and other countries which are planning to introduce power reactors. The aim of this course is to contribute to the human resource development in nuclear research field and to increase the future use the JMTR. On the other hand, a training course for Japanese young researchers and engineers has been conducted since fiscal 2010. These two separate courses were integrated. In fiscal 2015, this training course was conducted for 2 weeks and 17 young researchers and engineers from 7 countries were participated. They studied about the general outline of nuclear research, current status and R&D about nuclear energy, safety management of nuclear reactor, irradiation behavior of materials and fuels, facilities and technologies for irradiation and post irradiation, and nuclear characteristics of the reactor through lectures and practical trainings. At the end of the course, we had a discussion about the current status and future of energy mix and renewable energies of each country was discussed. The content of this training course in fiscal 2015 is reported in this paper.

On the other hand, a training course for Japanese young researchers and engineers has been conducted since fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2014, these two separate courses were integrated into one and it was conducted for 3 weeks for young researchers and engineers at home as well as abroad. Nineteen persons from seven countries participated and they studied about the general outline of nuclear research, current status and R&D of nuclear energy, irradiation test facilities and technologies, nuclear characteristics of the reactor and safety and operation management of nuclear reactors. At the end of the course, we had an active discussion about the current status and future of energy mix. The content of this training course in fiscal 2014 are reported in this paper.

In order to prevent radiation accident and its expansion, more integrated management system is required to safety management for radiation workers in the nuclear facilities. Therefore, JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency) and HAM (Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd) have developed innovative real-time multi-function entry/exit management system which managed worker's exposed dose and position under the joint developed patent. This system is sharing worker's data among workers and server manager who is inside of or outside of building, such as worker's positing, health condition and exposed dose. It consists of mobile equipments, receivers, LAN, and servers system. This report summarizes the system to be installed in the JMTR.
