The 2nd Tokyo Tech-MIT Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy Systems NEW!

"The 2nd Tokyo Tech-MIT Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy Systems" (TM-INES 2) was jointly held by COE-INES, CRINES (Tokyo Tech) and the Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems (CANES) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at Kamakura and Tokyo Tech on July 23-25, 2007, with a student workshop at Tokyo Tech on July 19-20. The technical session in the symposium was held with 70 participants including 13 persons of MIT guests and 26 oral presentations at KKR Kamakura Wakamiya Hotel, Kamakura, on July 23-24. The MIT guests were acclaimed to Tokyo Tech on July 25. The courtesy visit of Prof. Kazimi (CANES, MIT) to Prof. Aizawa, the President of Tokyo Tech, RLNR laboratory tour for MIT guests, a student poster session and the special educational session were held on the day. The student workshop for "Nuclear Educational Game Production" was opened for Ph D course students of both Institutes in advance. The games and game concepts prepared by them were brushed-up in the workshop with lectures by Prof. Takaki, Mr. Yamato and Mr. Kimura, game producers of a computer game for public nuclear education distributed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company. The brushed-up results were introduced in the special educational session at Tokyo Tech on July 25 as 7 game proposals including 2 games produced by cooperation of both Institutes. Both students especially deepened their warm communication through the workshop event and room-share in the hotel in Kamakura. Sustainable cooperation activity between both Institutes was still expected for development of innovative nuclear energy systems.
