About NSRA
buildingNuclear Safety Research Association (NSRA), established under the auspices of the Prime Minister and the Minister of International Trade and Industry of June 1, 1964, is an independent, non-profit research organization on the nuclear safety.
NSRA was newly re-authorized by the Prime Minister in April, 2011, under the new public interest corporation system.
From the time of the establishment, NSRA is characterized as a neutral and scientific organization because it is assigned the mission to deal with the safety aspects of peaceful use of nuclear energy. It is expected to have no special relationships with either the industry or the governmental side.
NSRA has been dedicated itself to the very wide range of nuclear safety research activities such as nuclear installations safety, radiation protection, radioactive waste disposal, emergency preparedness, international cooperation and dissemination of information related to nuclear safety.
NSRA activities are financed by the contribution from the member organizations and contracts with government agencies and private companies.
Major activities and Services in Recent Years
NSRA, since its establishment, has carried out activities in various fields related to nuclear safety. The results and the outcome of these activities have been fully appreciated and highly evaluated by every side of nuclear related people. To perform these activities, various expert committees in which total several hundreds scientists and experts from the government, academic society and industry participate are organized in NSRA. To come up with the expectation of the people of nuclear industry, regulators of the governments and the other nuclear related people, we will continue the science-based challenges in the wide range of topics of peaceful use of nuclear energy.
