The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), an organization devoted to comprehensive research on nuclear energy, was established in June 1956. Since then, for nearly five decades, JAERI has challenged research and development in the realm of frontier science and engineering with focus on the realm of nuclear research and developments. JAERI has fostered the establishment of light-water reactor power generation technology in Japan through its endeavors including the success in Japan's first nuclear power generation and achievement of the leading and systematic research on nuclear safety. JAERI has also attained the world's foremost level of R&D in nuclear fusion and has applied radiation to the field of industry, agriculture and medicine, supported by extensive basic research to underscore the advancement of all its R&D activities. Thus, JAERI has made a valuable contribution to not only the utilization of nuclear energy and radiation application but to science and technology in general.
