Innovations of Nuclear Energy and Radiation Technology for a Sustainable Society

This session focuses on research and education in nuclear energy and radiation technology as essential drivers for a sustainable society. Nuclear energy and radiation applications have significant potential to meet global demands for clean and reliable energy, promote technological innovation, support healthcare advancements, and contribute to environmental protection. Addressing these challenges requires both advanced research and the cultivation of a new generation of scientists and engineers equipped with interdisciplinary skills and international perspectives.
Universities play a central role in this endeavor by advancing fundamental knowledge, developing innovative technologies, and fostering collaboration between academia and industry. This session particularly highlights the long-standing partnership between Seoul National University and Hokkaido University. Through decades of cooperation, the two institutions have contributed to progress in reactor physics, reactor systems, reactor safety, the nuclear fuel cycle, health physics, radiation measurement, and plasma engineering. These achievements demonstrate the value of sustained academic collaboration across borders.
The session also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and international networking. By deepening cooperative research and education, both universities aim to inspire and prepare future leaders who will advance nuclear and radiation technology, drive innovation, and contribute to building a sustainable and resilient global society.
