I experienced the difference of research activities between university and institute. It was only 4 months, but I learned needed educational program, such as treatment of radioactive materials, disaster responses and information security in several tens hours. I realized once again that the safety management is placed a high priority at JAEA experimental sites.

For fulfilling course requirements, I took the “Global Nuclear Internship in Japan” course and worked as a special research student in Rokkasho Fusion Institute Department of Fusion Reactor Materials Research, JAEA. The purpose of this internship was to investigate the characteristics of nickel diffusion in molten lead-lithium alloy by measuring the concentration of nickel in the lead-lithium specimen using ICP-MS. Through the measurement by using different types of ICP-AES and ICP-MS devices at JAEA, I was able to learn not the usage of the devices but each measurement principle in depth. With regard to my research, I appreciate my supervisor at JAEA, my professor in university and other expert teams and they gave me lots of suggestive advice through the discussion during the stay. It was a good opportunity to get new ideas and approaches for my study subject which I could integrate into my future research work through this. Besides, I experienced the responsibilities of JAEA staff for their work and their excellent interdepartmental communication skills, and this gave me another chance to deepen the consideration about the qualifications as a leader.

I participated in a domestic internship program at a manufacturer of ultrasonic sensors called Japan Probe Co, Ltd whose products are used in my laboratory and had a chance to learn the manufacturing processes and the evaluation approaches that could draw on my research work. Especially, ultrasonic sensors are assembled by hand so that I can get much knowledge about the methods of performance assessment in the manufacturing process. Handling an ultrasonic sound field simulation is a strong tool to design the sensors, and those usages and basic simulation techniques would be useful in my work. Moreover, implementing a design of ultrasonic would definitely be a pragmatic leverage in preparation for my academic thesis. Working as an intern in a business enterprise, a completely different circumstance from campus life, I come to appreciate the company’s attitudes towards its research. As well as widening the horizons of my thinking, the experience gave me the significant opinions and inspiration.
