Nuclear Science and Technology in the 21st Century
Nuclear development can be defined, in a broad sense, as nuclear science and technology, which are both
based on the reactions involved in radiation such as neutrons, gamma rays, and other charged particles with nuclei. The nuclear reaction is the shared basis of nuclear science and technology, and the nuclear
development must be more than simply development of energy sources. On the long term, we should come
to think of nuclear development as harmonization rather than utilization. Nuclear development ranges from
the microscopic level of nuclei to the macroscopic level of cosmos. The associated science and technology
include many regions with ultramodern features and many on a gigantic scale. For realization of this goal, we need talent, funds, and time for development, tn furthering nuclear development, the first step is to make
accurate long-term projections for years, indeed generations, still to come. A correct understanding of
politics, the economy, and society is needed if issues to be resolved are to be identified and if practical
measures are to be established while flexibility in development is preserved. Nuclear development has many potential contributions to make to society. On the other hand, it involves no small hazard.
The development of nuclear energy so far has not given rise to major events except in the Chernobyl accident.
This degree of success suggests that safety of nuclear development can be achieved and that environmental damage can be minimized. The following items should be on the program for nuclear science and technology in the 21st century:
- Development of self-consistent nuclear energy systems (SCNES)
- Evolution of nuclear development as science and technology
Multipurpose uses of nuclear system, and radiation applications
Formation of regional communities in the 21st century with nuclear development
- Furtherance of nuclear development without anxiety
Contributions of nuclear development to global environmental issues
Achievement of international contributions and cooperation in nuclear development
