Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program (MEXT/NSRA)

Background

The Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program welcomes nuclear researchers from neighboring Asian countries to Japan and dispatches Japanese experts to those countries. This program was established in 1985, in conjunction with the Japanese policy of promoting cooperation with neighboring countries, and was based on the decision of the Atomic Energy Commission in December 1984.
This program enables Asian researchers to obtain the state-of-the-art technical knowledge and to perform high grade research activities in Japan, for contributing to build up and to strengthen nuclear base and nuclear safety in each Asian country.

Basic Concept

In this program in FY2020, Japanese research institutes accept Asian researchers studying and working in the nuclear field.
* Dispatch Course has not been carried out since FY2013.
