Job description
Background of the recruitment and description of the project
In the fast reactor cycle system research and development center, the research and development on the production of medical radioisotope (actiniumu-225) using the experimental fast reactor Joyo, have been conducting.
Work content and job description
In this theme, the demonstration test, including chemical separation, extraction, adjust the irradiated target prior to irradiation and installation of analysis equipments, will be planned and executed and the licensing work to conduct the test will be done in Joyo, which is scheduled to restart operation in the middle of FY2026. In the post-irradiation chemical separation, extraction, and purification, examine extraction materials and separation conditions suitable for the production of radioisotopes (RIs) for medical use, will be planed and experimental studies for RI production will be proposed, and research on the production of RIs for medical use as raw materials for pharmaceuticals will be conducted. In addition, we will work on upgrading Joyo irradiation tests (mainly fuel irradiation, etc.) and developing and introducing related post-irradiation examination techniques.

Research and development for nuclear chemistry
(2)Research theme
Development of new technologies to create resource value for radioactive materials
(Summary)
In Chemistry, Environment, and Radiation Division, Nuclear Science Research Institute, Nuclear Science and Engineering Center, we are developing new technologies to create resource value for radioactive materials in nuclear waste. In this theme, we will discover new value of radionuclides as materials and research their applications. For example, we will investigate the electrode reaction of them in non-aqueous solution and build new energy storage system.
We are looking for a someone who is enthusiastic about the experiments required to carry out this research and has research experience and expertise in the field of energy. We also encourage the new hire to conduct his/her own research and development regarding chemistry, materials and applications based on his/her points of view and ideas.
For the active promotion of the research activities above, it is required that experience in acquiring research funds (Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, etc.), as well as enough English ability for scientific and technical discussion in international conference and international cooperation.
