The new research reactor will be applied to various basic research using neutrons, as well as innovative research and development, medical radioisotope research, and nuclear safety research. is expected to contribute to cooperation and coexistence with local industries, nuclear education, human resource development, and so on.

The facility was designed with bright and open shapes and colors that are suitable for a base for creating open innovation, superimposing science and hub motifs such as local ports and train stations on the future image of the new research reactor.

The reactor building, the beam hall for experiments using neutron beams, the post-irradiation handling facility with hot cells for neutron-irradiated samples, and the reactor control building are arranged compactly within 50m x 120m square area. The maximum height of the reactor building is about 30m above the ground.

The reactor building that confines the research reactor and the surrounding hot cells are built to withstand various natural disasters such as earthquakes.

The blue-roofed beam hall is adjacent to the reactor and has a space for installing various experimental devices. By adopting sufficient measures such as nuclear security, experimental equipment will be prepared relatively easy to access for many users such as researchers, students, and businesspersons.

The user-friendly environments, such as open spaces and conference rooms, will also be prepared where users can interact each other. It is expected that new innovations will be created from the interaction of users in various fields.
