项目摘要

The UK and Japan have a long established co-operation in the field of civil nuclear energy, originating in the 1960s. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, on 11 March 2011, leading to partial melt down of three boiling water reactors at the Fukushima Daiici site (Units 1-3), the UK and Japan have established a strong collaboration in the field of nuclear decommissioning and waste management. The Governments of UK and Japan recognise the importance of stronger collaboration and co-operation in the field of civil nuclear energy, to address the challenges of legacy decommissioning and waste management, and exploitation of nuclear fission technology as a safe, affordable, low carbon energy supply. Accordingly, a Japan - UK framework for Civil Nuclear Co-operation was established in 2012, leading to an annual UK - Japan Nuclear Dialogue to strengthen bi-lateral co-operation in civil nuclear energy. The JUNO Network for Japan - UK Nuclear Opportunities will build on the annual Nuclear Dialogue, and the existing portfolio of bi-lateral projects established through the EPSRC / MEXT sponsored UK - Japan Civil Nuclear Research Programme. The primary aim is to nurture and network the UK and Japan academic communities in civil nuclear energy, leading to the collaborative development of novel methodologies and tools, to address common challenges in decommissioning and waste management, reactor safety and regulation, nuclear energy policy, public communication and engagement, and environmental safety. To realise this aim, the Network will organise a regular Network meeting and theme focused discussions, with a focus on knowledge exchange, deriving research questions, developing collaborative projects, and disseminating experience and outcomes. The Network will pump prime and monitor development of collaborations through targeted support for short visits, secondments, pilot scale projects and other activities.

英国和日本在民用核能领域有着悠久的合作关系，始于 20 世纪 60 年代。 2011 年 3 月 11 日东日本大地震导致福岛第一核电站三座沸水反应堆（1-3 号机组）部分熔化后，英国和日本在核退役和核设施领域建立了强有力的合作。废物管理。英国和日本政府认识到在民用核能领域加强协作与合作的重要性，以应对遗留退役和废物管理的挑战，以及将核裂变技术开发为安全、负担得起的低碳能源供应。据此，日本与英国于 2012 年建立了民用核能合作框架，并每年举行英日核对话，以加强民用核能方面的双边合作。日本-英国核机会 JUNO 网络将建立在年度核对话以及通过 EPSRC / MEXT 赞助的英国-日本民用核研究计划建立的现有双边项目组合的基础上。主要目标是培养英国和日本民用核能学术界并建立联系，从而协作开发新颖的方法和工具，以解决退役和废物管理、反应堆安全和监管、核能政策、公共核能等方面的共同挑战。沟通和参与以及环境安全。为了实现这一目标，网络将定期组织网络会议和主题讨论，重点是知识交流、导出研究问题、开发合作项目以及传播经验和成果。该网络将通过对短期访问、借调、试点项目和其他活动的有针对性的支持来推动并监测合作的发展。
