      (Summary)
      Japan atomic energy agency (JAEA) implements capacity building assistance and technological development in a nuclear nonproliferation and security project. This is a contribution to the world for the peaceful use of atomic energy by using JAEA’s knowledges and technologies. The researcher of this recruitment surveys the newest trends of capacity building assistance and technological development, analyzes the information, and joins the following JAEA activities.
      The researcher will take a lecturer part in capability building training courses on nondestructive analyzing methods and the others.
      He/she also participates in mainly development of delayed gamma-ray analysis (DGA), which is one of the research subjects of development of active neutron nondestructive assay techniques. DGA is an analyzing technique of fissile nuclide by measuring gamma rays emitted from decaying fission products, which are produced by fission reaction induced by externally introduced neutron. The tasks of the researcher are survey (on newest technologies of neutron source, gamma-ray detector, and so on), simulation study, and system development.
