Technological and social aspects of nuclear safety

Research purposes
The problems surrounding nuclear safety today go beyond the reach of traditional safety engineering, increasing in complexity and diversity, and precise assessments of nuclear safety systems, taking into consideration not only sharing of relevant knowledge and consensus-building among society and technological safety, but social safety as well. The objectives of this research include the following: establishment of a basis for sharing relevant knowledge covering the full spectrum of concepts related to nuclear safety, development of technologies for validation of systematic risk management and social programs, proposal of desirable methods of risk communication concerning nuclear energy, thereby making contributions toward solving issues in science and technology for society.
