GNEN LECTURE PROGRAM in FY 2017

by Japanese University Network for Global Nuclear Human Resource Development (JUNET-GNHRD)
The Japanese University Network for Global Nuclear Human Resource Development (JUNET-GNHRD) will propose to provide following four lectures in FY2017 through telecommunication network (“distance learning”) of the Global Nuclear Education Network (GNEN) for the further development of expertise in the nuclear field.
JUNET-GNHRD was established in December 2010 under a cooperation of 18 universities for efficient and effective sharing of their educational resources and capabilities with close collaboration of the industry and relevant governmental agencies. The member universities of the JUNET-GNHRD are Hokkaido University, Hachinohe Institute of Technology, Ibaraki University, Nagaoka University of Technology, Shonan Institute of Technology, Tokai University, University of Yamanashi, Kanazawa University, University of Fukui, Nagoya University, Kyoto University, Osaka University, Kinki University, Okayama University, Kyushu University, Waseda University, Tokyo City University and Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Curriculum Vitae of Lectures
Prof. Dr. Isao Murata
Professor of Osaka University, Head of Division of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering, Director of United Neutron Ltd.
Professor Murata worked for former JAERI from 1988-1994 as a researcher to develop Japanese High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR). In the beginning of 1995 he moved to Osaka University. Since then, he was engaged in fusion neutronics studies on such as neutron cross section measurements, shielding experiments and so on and Monte Carlo transport theory of neutral particles. From 2001 to 2003, as a guest scientist he worked for Research Center Juelich (FZJ), Germany, to develop European Spallation Source (ESS). From 2004 he began to conduct BNCT studies with medical doctors to develop various radiation devices for BNCT and to establish an ABNS (accelerator based neutron source) based BNCT in Japan.

Prof. Dr. Hiroshi Sagara
Associate Professor, Doctor of Engineering,

Laboratory for Advanced Nuclear Energy, Institute of Innovative Nuclear Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan

Professor Sagara is involved in the research fields of nuclear reactor physics, advanced nuclear energy systems for transmutation of radioactive nuclear waste, and robust nuclear energy system designs against threats to safety, security and safeguards/non-proliferation. He has carriers at Tokyo Institute of Technology as well as at research institutes of Idaho National Laboratory. U.S.A., and Japan Atomic Energy Agency. He received Best Article Award, the 47th Atomic Energy Society of Japan Awards, 2015.
Prof. Youichi Enokida, Dr. Eng.
Professor at Department of Applied Energy, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University
Director of Management Facility for Nuclear Materials, Nagoya University

Professor Enokida has stayed and worked for education and academic researchers at the department of Nuclear Engineering in The University of Tokyo, Japan, Fuel Recycle Division in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA, The department of Chemistry in the University of Idaho, USA. He expertizes ‘Nuclear Chemical Engineering,’ from isotope separation to nuclear waste management as well as process systems engineering for nuclear fuel cycle. He is currently working as a member of Nuclear Fuel Safety Examination Committee in Nuclear regulation Authority, Japan.
