Our research activities

We are studying on novel technologies for designing advanced fusion reactors, and on fundamental technologies for the higher reliability of nuclear power plants such as present light water reactors and a next generation fast-breeder reactor. In addition, high-heat-flux removal for devices, electromagnetic applications and superconducting applications based on the above technologies are also subjected to study in our laboratory. We are using knowledge of fluid engineering, heat-transfer engineering, electromagnetism and structural mechanics for our research activities.
