Az előadás rövid összefoglalója:

IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) defines that nuclear applications 
consist of power and nonpower. As for the nuclear power application, G7 
Hiroshima Leaders' Communiqué (May 20, 2023) is referred as follows. Those G7 
countries that opt to use nuclear energy recognize its potential to provide 
affordable low-carbon energy that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, to 
address the climate crisis and to ensure global energy security as a source 
of baseload energy and grid flexibility. They commit to maximizing the use of 
existing reactors safely, securely, and efficiently, including by advancing 
their safe long-term operation, and so on. They also commit, domestically as 
well as in partner countries, to supporting the development and construction 
of nuclear reactors, such as small modular and other advanced reactors with 
advanced safety systems, building robust and resilient nuclear supply chains 
including nuclear fuel, and maintaining and strengthening nuclear technology 
and human resources. The G7 underlines that the highest standards of nuclear 
safety and security are important to all countries and their respective 
publics. Moreover, IEA (International Energy Agency) foresees about twice 
more nuclear power is needed around 2050. In the updated basic 
environmental/energy policy in Japan, one option that could be taken to 
achieve these policy objectives is nuclear power. In the power generation 
mix, nuclear power is expected to compose approx. 20-22% of the total 
generation mix in FY2030. It is plan to be revised up to 2040 and to be 
issued in March, 2025. JAEC issued the Basic Policy for Nuclear Energy in 
February, 2023. It is a 'compass' to show long-term directions for the 
government nuclear policy and to define Basic Objectives and Important 
Initiatives. Then, the government determined the new nuclear policy of 
extension of the nuclear reactor operation from 40 to 60 years and 
replacement of new advanced reactors in existing cites. Non-power application 
is based on utilization of radiations, radioisotopes, accelerators, lasers, 
etc. Especially, a new nuclear medicine named "theranostics", which is 
combination of therapeuatics (by Lu177, Ac211, Ac225, etc) and diagnosis (by 
PET), is available for many cancers even with metastasis. Moreover, the drug 
for Alzheimer's dementia has begun to be supplied in the world combined with 
the diagnosis by PET (F18) and SPECT (Mo99/Tc99m). JAEC developed the Action 
Plan that aims to provide domestic radioisotopes to patients in May, 2022 via 
JAEC's advisory committee on Medical Radioisotopes operation from November, 
2021.JAEC expects the best mix supply by research reactors, accelerators and 
lasers in near future. Thus, the nuclear power application of electricity 
supply with zero carbon and nonpower application such as radiation/nuclear 
medicine can contribute to sustainable and healthy human life in the world.
