Abstract
The Kindai University Reactor, UTR-KINKI, is a research reactor with a rated thermal power of 1 W. The reactor is designed especially for education and training at universities and has been utilized for the education and training of nuclear engineering students in Japan since its first criticality in 1961. It is also used to educate the general public about nuclear science and technology, such as in training workshops for science teachers and high school students. Recently, it has been used to train nuclear engineers from overseas. Under the framework of allowing researchers from all over Japan to use the reactor, researches are conducted such as detector testing, reactor physics experiments, biological irradiations, and so on.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
